City break in Grand Gaube. Active leisure ideas for Grand Gaube - attractions, recreation and nightlife

The main entertainments for travelers are beach-related activities, sea cruises, visiting local restaurants and shops. The coast of Pointe aux Piments famous for its numerous secluded bays and calm lagoons with crystal-clear water is very popular among scuba diving enthusiasts. Here is a beautiful aquarium, and for a small fee, everyone can dive under the water to watch colorful fish.

If local beaches are not enough, be sure to visit Cape of Bad Luck (Cap Malheureux). This quiet resort boasts an abundance of secluded beaches and beautiful nature where picturesque tropical forests begin a few steps away from the shore. Fans of active recreation may find this place a bit boring because all entertainment facilities and restaurants can only be found on the territory of hotels. At the same time, Cap Malheureux seems to be the best place for those wishing to walk along deserted beaches and enjoy the sea panorama.

The most attractive scuba diving site is the coastal zone of Flat Island (Île Plate). Divers can see several hundred colorful fish, incredibly beautiful corals, as well as rare species of sharks. The Djabeda wreck located here does not cease to attract curious explorers. Not far from Grand Gaube is a place called Bain Boeuf where divers can admire beautiful corals and enjoy the calm sea. Experienced divers would probably be interested in visiting Cape Vacoas (Pointe Vacoas). Trips to the most beautiful natural places are organized for tourists every day.

The city is also attractive for fans of outdoor activities. For example, here you can do helicopter flights - just try to contact Island Wings Mauritius. Such a fantastic pastime brings only joy and positive emotions, allowing you to raise the level of an extreme hormone, as well as enjoy the beautiful views of Grand Gaube and its surroundings. Another great option for getting an adrenaline rush is safari, and tours of this kind are provided by Quad Activities and Fun Drive & Racing tours. Want to jump with a parachute?

Seabob enthusiasts will find entertainment to their liking as well, this pastime is offered by Seabob Mauritius.

There is a very interesting place called Cape of Bad Luck. The fact is that English history in Mauritius begins from this very point where British first landed on the island. However, it got its name because of the many shipwrecks that happened here. As a result, this is one of the best diving sites where divers can fully enjoy beautiful underwater expanses and scenic views. This is the reason why tourists like this place - the cap is amazing with its views fascinating even the most demanded travelers. The same can be said about Chamarel Waterfall, one of the greatest creations of nature. And it's hard to argue with this after seeing its outlines.

To explore local landmarks, it is worth renting any kind of transport - it would be much more convenient than traveling on foot. The easiest way is to rent a car or a taxi for this purpose, and the second option is preferable since it is not always clear where to drive on Mauritian roads. Remarkable attractions that should be noted are Temple Tamoul and Samayapuram Mariamman Temple - two exotic Hindu temples striking in their beauty.

Most of the bars where you can relax at night are located on the territory of hotels. However, this is not always the case, so here you can find a night facility to your liking. For example, those looking for tasty and hearty meals go to Talipot, Banana Beach Club attracts lovers of excellent cocktails and grill, and Le Capitaine Restaurant is a must-visit for everyone because here you can find out how real Mauritian food tastes like. Luigi's Italian Pizzeria & Pasta Bar, as the name implies, is for connoisseurs of Italian cuisine, and Kiosque Magique will please those wishing to have a light meal.

There are many wine tours in the city since the island originally belonged to France (and was called Ile-de-France). Winemaking traditions have been preserved from that time. During the tours, you can get acquainted with rich local customs by tasting different wine varieties. In addition, you can learn many interesting facts and rules on how to make traditional Mauritian Bacchus. Beer is also popular and can be tasted in various pubs throughout the city. First of all, it is worth noting Murphy's Pub, one of the best bars in town where you can taste traditional Mauritian beer - Phoenix. The Tavern and Julie's Club stand out among other bars and pubs.

It is also worth visiting the local plantation Bois Cherie where world-famous Mauritian tea is produced. After learning a lot of interesting facts, be sure to buy some tea as a gift, which would be of particular interest to those who prefer exotic tastes. And, of course, tastings are included. Just outside Grand Gaube is a sugarcane plantation where you can go on a tour as well. This pastime can be a good alternative to visiting museums - after all, this way you can get closer acquainted with the local culture.
