Luscious blue lagoons and coconut palms swaying on golden beaches are taken for granted on a Mauritius tour. Top that off with whale-watching excursions and swimming with a playful pod of dolphins off the west coast, and you’re in for an unbeatable holiday.
Thanks to its location in the southwest Indian Ocean, 500 miles off the coast of Madagascar, the climate of Mauritius is tropical, making it a dream vacation spot all-year round. And since we at Enchanting Travels are the dream merchants, let us conjure up a sensational Mauritius itinerary that suits your whims and needs.
At Pointe aux Piments on the northwest coast, swim to a reef teeming with vibrant corals and multihued fish. Pack a little picnic one day and head to a deserted beach rimmed by a turquoise lagoon. Another day, visit the bustling markets of the capital Port Louis for a taste of local life. Spring for water sports—there are unlimited options for light or intense activities. And if none of these match what you are looking for, then perhaps some quiet time on a sunlounger followed by a round of spa pampering will hit the spot?
Mauritius is a melting pot, a unique blend of Indian, African, Asian, and French cultures and cuisines. Embrace this island’s distinctive way of life when you join Sega dancers on the beach, swaying to the pulsating rhythm of traditional instruments.
There’s much more to Mauritius that dreamy beaches. Experience the best of the fascinating culture and natural treasures in the country. Our destination experts share a list of the top things to do in Mauritius.

Every single thing was absolutely amazing! The entire staff of enchanting travels went above and beyond to make sure that our trip was incredible from every vantage point! We felt taken care of, safe, informed, educated, luxuriated and enlightened! When we got off the plane, there was someone to meet us as we entered the airport. They didn’t leave our side until they brought us through security when our trip was done. Absolutely amazing! We first worked with Peter to plan our trip. He was so helpful and available for any questions we had. We then worked with Cuilin as our trip coordinator. She was also wonderful and helpful and available anytime we needed. The planning was so thorough. It made us feel very confident in the trip we were about to embark on. Once in Cairo, we were taken care of by Sam (Hasem) and he made sure everything was smooth every single day. When we arrived in our room, we had a special cake and greeting with our wedding photo because this was our honeymoon! This blew us away! It meant so much to us. We were so fortunate to have Mohammed as a tour guide. I cannot say enough good things about Mohammed. He absolutely went above and beyond every single day for us and shared so much knowledge with us and special places. We have been all over the world, literally, but this was the best trip we’ve ever been on by leaps and bounds. So much of that is because of enchanting travels. I would hire them 1 million times over. Absolutely nothing but good things to say about them and I really hope we get to travel with them again soon. We are so grateful for everything they did and for giving us the gift of this amazing trip of a lifetime!

Anna Thomas was very adept at planning our trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. She is a keen listener and grasped what I wanted on the trip. Her knowledge of the area, the lodging, game drives and the multitude of options at each stop are exactly what we wanted. The trip plan was exceptional and the actual trip went perfectly, without a hitch. I was truly a trip of a lifetime! I would recommend Anna as a trip planner/coordinator for anyone looking to travel in south and/or east Africa. I certainly plan on using her again.

I normally don’t use travel agents to book tours as I’ve been an independent traveler for a long, long time. But an African safari is a little more complicated. Enchanting travels made it easy with its recommendations and itinerary and we ended up with safaris that were unbelievable experiences. ET was super responsive and aimed to please us every step of the way and kept in constant contact with us. You won’t be disappointed.

Just got back from two weeks in Africa. What a great trip. The first week was on Safari seeing all the wild animals. The second was sightseeing in Zanzibar and then Victoria Falls. Alison Felfoldi and Ruth Mbugua were incredible in arranging all of the details. The Hotels were great the venues were fantastic the guides were knowledgeable and all of the pickups and drivers were prompt and courteous.

We just returned from an outstanding 3-week trip to East Africa. Our travel consultant did an outstanding job of putting together this trip for a friend and me. Everything went as smooth as glass. We saw an extraordinary number of animals and the accommodations were even better than pictured. Our personal guides were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and kind, even assisting with all our check-ins. Every transport worked seamlessly. It was a great experience, we highly recommend Enchanting Travels!
