Sports enthusiasts? How to spend your holidays in Mauritius in April?

April, with its milder temperatures, is an ideal period for outdoor activities on the island. An overview of our four suggestions for a successful sports holiday.

• A trekking experience

Do you love hiking and nature? If so, trekking is the right activity to try. It is an intense hike that takes you to parts of the island that are not reachable by other means. For a safe walk, we recommend being assisted by experienced guides. Our concierges will be happy to recommend reliable and well-known service providers.

On the menu: the 7 waterfalls spot, the river trek at the Rivière des Galets, the Morne mountain climb (Yanature LINK) or the Lion Mountain.

• Introduction to canyoning

Explore the mountains and waterfalls of Mauritius and get a shot of adrenaline, hence the attractive Water-Earth-Air programme. Supervised by professionals, this outdoor activity is to descend torrents, streams, rivers, gorges with or without water and with waterfalls, pools and vertical parts. Canyoning combines hiking, swimming and abseiling, and is only for those in good physical condition. Strong emotions and intense memories guaranteed!

• An excursion to the Heritage Nature Reserve

In the south of the island, this magnificent 1300-hectare reserve offers many green activities. The programme includes excursions on eco quad, eco buggy, 4×4 or on foot (hiking and trekking) which combine learning and entertainment around the flora, fauna and history, in the company of trained guides. Discover preserved ecosystems and varied landscapes (forests, rivers, waterfalls), as well as animals (deer, wild boars, birds, etc.)

• Play Indiana Jones on the third longest zip line in the world

In the Vallée des Couleurs nature park in the south of Mauritius, the 1.5 km zip line is for those who do not fear strong sensations and who are not afraid of heights. Over trees and waterfalls, fly over the site and discover the beauty of the nature reserve. Shorter zip lines are available for the less adventurous.

April is an ideal month to try out or discover nature sports in Mauritius. Our concierges are at your disposal to organise the most unforgettable sports related holiday for you.
