“God created Mauritius first and then heaven”
- Mark Twain
December morning 5 o'clock, ooppss what is happening with me? I never ever wake up that much early on my own. Yesterday whole night I was thinking of you. Ohh yes, Mauritius!
Yes, this was the day when we started for Mauritius. It was my first foreign trip hence I was very excited. The distance from India to Mauritius is approx 3600 miles, which means the flight duration is around 7 hours. But for us it became 18 hours journey because we started from Pune and flight was from Mumbai. We reached Mumbai international airport around 10:30 pm and after completing all kind of air-port formalities we waited for boarding.
Flight was on the right time. Fix 2 o'clock we started for Mauritius and we reached there around 6 o'clock according to the Mauritian time. The weather was very pleasant with fresh air, cloudy sky and light rain.
It was our first Mauritius trip so we joined a trip group. It was a 6 Nights/7 days package. At airport we met the person who was going to guide us. We took the bus to our resort.
Following is brief description of my all 7 days experience -
Day-3 After breakfast in the morning, we went for a full day South Island tour. Visited the Trou aux Cerfs, the crater of an extinct volcano. Proceeded to Grand Bassin, a natural lake at the base of volcanic crater and a pilgrimage place for Hindus. Later visited Chamarel (Colored Earth) containing vibrant hues and waterfall.
Day-4 After breakfast in the morning, enjoyed a full day excursion to Ile Aux Cerfs. An emerald lagoon, it was accessible by speed boat. With clear waters and endless beaches, it was a heaven for lovers of the sea, sand and sun. We also enjoyed the abundant water sports offered here.
Day-5 After breakfast in the morning, enjoyed the rest of the day at leisure. Made the most of it by indulging in unique and enthralling experiences like taking an under sea walk and deep sea fishing dive. When not doing any activity, we just relaxed and got a tan at one of the many beautiful beaches.
Day-6 This was our relax day according to the trip but there was many thing left which we din't see. Since we only had one day left, we wanted to go for cruise because we had heard about it a lot. So we called to our guide and asked him that how we can go there. He told us it was not possible because cruise requires 2 days of prior booking. Little disappointed, we decided to try out our next option which was 'Casela nature park'. For that we booked a cab from resort to Casela.
After breakfast in the morning we left for Casela. When we reached there we saw lots of activities were there like-
We decided to do Quad biking, and it turned out to be totally adventurous day. Full speed buggy ride in a forest, among lots of animals which we saw while riding. The ride was full of dangerous turns, but we crossed all of them successfully :)
It was lots of fun with adventure. After all the fun, we had lunch at the park's restaurant. I have described my Casela experience in detail here.

When we came outside from the park we decided to go 'Flic En Flac' beach, which was not very far from Park. It was a very nice and pleasant experience. Beautiful, clean, peaceful, enjoyable and relaxing, it was a perfect place. In the evening, we left for resort.

Day-7 After breakfast in the morning, we left to the airport for India.
The trip was a very beautiful experience. We did not face any kind of language problem at there, because most of people there know english & hindi. There were so many things which we couldn't able to cover in 7 days. Whatever we din't see we decided to cover that part on our next Mauritius trip :)
