Travel Advisory

Mauritius - Wedding Tours & Holidays, Fishing & Diving, Great Resorts & Rodrigues Island Paradise. Back at the beginning of the 16th century, Portuguese sailors accidentally stumbled upon this piece of land, lost in the Indian Ocean. Today, Mauritius is rightfully one of the first places in the list of applicants for the title of "paradise" on Earth. At the very mention of Mauritius, pictures of paradise beaches come to mind. Of course, this is by no means an accident - the coastline here stretches for more than 300 kilometers, and the beaches themselves are also excellent points for diving, snorkeling, windsurfing and sailing.
