FAMILY TRAVELLER HAS TEAMED UP WITH MAURITIUS TOURISM TO OFFER ONE LUCKY FAMILY THE CHANCE TO WIN A HOLIDAY TO MAURITIUS WITH VIRGIN HOLIDAYS, PLUS A FABULOUS MONSOON KIDS’ WARDROBE
Like a sparkling jewel in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is a truly exotic destination for a family holiday. It offers year-round sunshine, minimal jetlag, incredible hotels with innovative kids’ clubs, and a vast range of family activities both in and out of the water. Nautical activities on the island, which is surrounded by stunning lagoons and reefs, include dolphin watching, Blue Safari Submarine excursions, an undersea walk, sea karting, waterskiing, glass-bottomed boats and catamaran cruises, scuba diving and snorkelling, big-game fishing, kitesurfing and windsurfing. And on land, it’s not all about the coast. Venture inland to the magical nature parks.
The Frédérica Nature Reserve, for example, offers breathtaking views, waterfalls and vast plains, where deer roam freely. Here, families can trek or opt for quad biking, a 4×4 discovery tour, a dedicated kids’ tour or even a jaunt on a Segway. Adventure parks feature everything from walking with lions to zip lining. A must is a visit to the spectacular Botanical Gardens. And there are plenty of museums and aquariums to keep little ones entertained. For a thrilling day out, take a helicopter trip for a bird’s eye view of the island’s turquoise lagoons and lush mountains. Above all, Mauritius is a friendly, multicultural island which welcomes kids with open arms. If you’ve never visited this Indian Ocean paradise before, its beauty will blow you away.
