Adventure activities on Mauritius range from hiking in the uplands of the south-west to kitesurfing, diving and deep-sea fishing on the coast. Conditions, operator standards and the fitness required vary widely, so the details matter more than the activity name.
Our adventure listings will carry the participation and safety information each operator provides. Until then, use this page to understand where each activity happens.
