Mauritius packs an unusual amount of variety into a small island — French-Indian-Creole culture, volcanic mountain hikes, and beaches that rival anywhere in the Indian Ocean, all within an hour's drive of each other. This trip mixes beach time with the cultural and natural sights that make Mauritius more than just a resort stop.
Good for travelers who want a beach holiday with a few proper excursions built in, not pure resort lock-in.
