How do I even begin to capture and convey the beauty of Mauritius? After visiting, Mark Twain said, “You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first and then heaven, and that heaven was copied after Mauritius." Now that I’ve visited, I can see what would provoke him to make such a bold statement. Mauritius is breathtaking. What a gem of a place. I’d love to come back on my honeymoon someday. And to think SAS treated this country like a pit stop, limiting us to only 2 days to take it all of its beauty. I would have much preferred 4 days in Mauritius than Hawaii. Mauritius is a tiny French-speaking island that lies east of Madagascar. Demographically, it’s predominately composed of Indians from the south of India. However, don’t make the mistake of actually calling someone from Mauritius Indian! As my cab driver confirmed after I asked him how he prefers to be identified, Mauritian people identify as Mauritian, not Indian. It’s as simple as that.
On the first day, Jenny, Candace, and I went to Camaral Adventure Park. The ropes course was fairly challenging and the zip line was fun, but not nearly as high as we thought it’d be. The mosquitoes were ferocious but luckly Jenny had 99% DEET spray. We met up with some other SASers at the Hilton on Flic en Flac beach where Jenny was staying. We had drinks out of coconuts (I’ve always wanted to do that lol) and chilled by the crystal clear waters. Later we kayaked and paddle boated and free loaded the hotel’s amazing buffet before leaving lol. We drove out to Grand Baie and stayed at a cute little villa that night. The next morning, we went on a catamaran cruise with 20+ other SASers. What an amazing day. Never in my life have I had a day filled with such scenic beauty. We were on the catamaran for much of the day, traveling from Grand Baie to the western end of the coast, back to where the ship was docked in Port Louis. Everywhere I looked, I pleasantly inundated with the most remarkable shade of blue, from the clear blue skies to the crystal blue waters. The weather was perfectly sunny, with zero humidity, and a crisp yet perfectly light ocean breeze. Although I didn’t see any dolphins, I saw schools of flying fish skip across the water close to our boat. We sailed for most of the day and then stopped to do some snorkeling. That was my first time snorkeling and I found breathing through my nose to be a bit awkward at first, but I slowly got the hang of it. After snorkeling, we enjoyed a barbecue lunch on the catamaran prepared by our very on boat skipper, Potato (yes, that’s what he introduced himself as). We passed by the famous lighthouse on the way back and met up with the ship.
