What are people saying about Mauritius
The tiny Indian Ocean island of Mauritius looks like a speck on the map, but it packs a solid punch when it comes to outdoor activities to keep you busy. As is the case with most island destinations, there are dozens of Mauritius tours that are all about getting you on (or in) the water—from whale watching to snorkeling to swimming in areas known for dolphins. On the island itself, you can explore a national park, hike up a dormant volcano, and see the colorful sand dunes at Seven Colored Earth.

There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Mauritius. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:
Yes, guided tours in Mauritius are worth it—this island is even more impressive with cultural context, best provided by locals. Plus, many guided tours take care of transportation, so you don't have to worry about navigating winding roads or figuring out a bus schedule that doesn't even stop at the top sights.
Per one customer who booked the Hiking Sept Cascades (Tamarind Falls)—Half Day tour, "Fabulous day out hiking the Sept Cascades and through the forest with great views over the waterfalls and valley. Our guide, Paj, was very friendly and caring. Really enjoyed the swim in one of the waterfalls. Highly recommend the experience."
As with most destinations, tours in Mauritius vary depending on duration and inclusions. Tickets to museums and adventure parks will set you back around US$15, while private yachts or catamaran cruises can reach as high as US$2,000. Of course, you'll find dozens of options in between those two extremes.
To give a couple of examples, an Entrance Ticket to World of Seashells museum costs just US$10 per person and introduces you to a collection of more than 8,000 seashells. This immersive experience lasts 1.5 hours and is self-guided. A far pricier alternative is the Luxury Private Catamaran to Île aux Benitiers—Nautitech 46 Fly package for around US$1,800 per group of up to eight people. This package includes a private 6-hour tour around the island, complete with stops at prime swimming spots and use of the boat's snorkeling equipment.
It will probably be unsurprising to learn that most tours and excursions in Mauritius focus on getting out onto the azure waters of the surrounding lagoons: Think luxurious afternoons spent sailing around the coast, kayaking with dolphins, or adrenaline-fueled whale-watching trips. For land-based adventures, you'll find hiking, quad biking, and rum tasting.
Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. One of the most popular options is the 3-Day Private Full Island Tour with Optional Wild Dolphin Swim. This excursion features some of the most popular destinations around the island, including the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, the L'Aventure du Sucre, and Château de Labourdonnais. Snorkeling and even swimming with wild dolphins can be built into the itinerary, too.
Due to its relatively remote location, plan at least a week in Mauritius if you can—that’s enough time to unwind, relax, and experience the island’s unique character. You’ll want at least a day or two for inland adventures, 1–2 days for relaxing at the beach or your resort, and a day or more spent out on the water.
