This article will give you Mauritius "in a nutshell" so that you can effectively choose what kind of vacation you would like to have.

When you arrive you will land in the only flight terminal on the island, called Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Flight terminal.

He fought for the rights of his people and brought the country to its independence in 1968. He introduced cost-free health care and education, and set up a nationwide pension scheme.

The first towns you come across are located inland and not on the beach. Topographically the island is extremely interesting as it's formed from a volcano and so inland you will see incredible dark mountains that shoot up from emerald green vegetation.

If you are checking out the country between April and November, you should not miss going to the Champ de Mars Racecourse that gets over 30 000 visitors a day. The really good thing about the racecourse is that tourists and residents get to meet and freely talk to each other with the shared interest of winning the following race!

As soon as you arrive in Port Louis you can choose whether you prefer an extremely nature oriented holiday or something a little more "touristy". If you go north you will end up in Grand Baie and Grand Gaube, if you go south you will not come across any huge towns and will mainly delight in private beach chalets.

Heading north, you can stop in Le Pouce Nature Reserve, and then go and see the charming town of Pamplemousses. Be sure to see some Sega Dance, which is the traditional dance of the native people.

Grande Baie is totally equipped for any types of water sports and so you can take pleasure in windsurfing, water-ski, para-sailing and snorkeling in the coral reefs. Because of the coral reefs, the sea is very warm and calm here. You can likewise go for a submarine ride to see the reefs from a new perspective as well as the shipwrecks. This is a truly remarkable experience!

If you would like something a lot more peaceful and secluded though, you can head south and stop off at the Baie du Tamarin, which is globally acclaimed as an ideal surfing area.

So, Mauritius in a nutshell? Land at the airport and take the only highway that crosses the island up until you reach the opposite coastline, then go north for the resorts and night life or south for a private surf vacation with nature walks.
