Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, is famed for its stunning beaches, lagoons, and reefs. The interior features rugged mountains and rainforests, including Black River Gorges National Park, ideal for hiking. Activities range from watersports and diving to exploring historical sites like Aapravasi Ghat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accessibility varies across the island, with some areas more easily navigated than others; research specific locations beforehand. Both solo and guided visits are popular, depending on personal preference and desired level of exploration. The dry season (May to December) is generally considered the best time to visit. A typical trip lasts 7-14 days, and costs can vary widely depending on accommodation and activities, but budget around $150-$500 per day.
