Family trip to Le Morne with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

The Mauritian "Little Paradise" of Le Morne is a great place to spend your vacation. Here you can either bask in the scorching sun of Mauritius feeling incomparable bliss, or enjoy active pastime on the beach (beach sports are among the most popular leisure activities in the "Little Paradise"). The following activities are available for beach visitors: surfing, SUP-boarding, rock climbing, golf, helicopter flights, jet skiing, cruises.

If you are traveling with kids, first and foremost, be sure to try tours from Dolphin Warrior or Dolswim, thanks to which you can watch dolphins (as is known, all children love them very much). Ride a horse or pony? This is also possible in the town of Le Morne if you contact Haras Du Morne. Children are particularly pleased with the opportunity to go into the water along with horses. A fantastic experience is guaranteed, so it's a must-have for parents.

Perhaps the most popular area in the resort town is Le Morne Beach. Many consider this beach the best for watching the sunset. This is a kind of unique spot with the so-called "underwater waterfall" - it is from here that one can admire unsurpassed views of the waterfalls (by the way, this is what attracts many to visit the "Little Paradise" of Mauritius). Besides, views of the picturesque beach from the mountain are unbelievably breathtaking. The beach itself provides all conditions for practicing various water activities like kitesurfing and boating. Besides that, the beach has a historical component - it was on this beach that African slaves jumped into the sea fleeing the European colonists. A festival is held on the beach every year in November to commemorate this tragic event. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Cruises to Crystal Rock and Île aux Benitiers in the Indian Ocean are quite popular. This place is fabulously beautiful so one should never miss the opportunity to ride a boat to the Crystal Rock. It is a rock of an unusual shape, which is sure to amaze not only children but even adults. Île aux Benitiers (Benitiers Island) is a true peaceful oasis where tourists and locals like to hold various theme parties - all because it offers spectacular views of Crystal Rock and the coast of Mauritius.

Another unique natural attraction located in the vicinity of Le Morne is Seven Colored Earths (that is, sands painted in seven colors). Some tourists coming here cannot believe that such places can exist in reality - that's how beautiful it is. That's exactly the way turtles inhabiting these dunes see it. Here you can climb an observation deck that offers stunning views. Nearby is the amazingly beautiful Chamarel Waterfall (glorified by many tourists as one of the must-visit locations in Mauritius), as well as a museum that will amaze not only children but also their parents - namely, the Curious Corner of Chamarel. The museum is dedicated to illusions, its guides explain how this and that magic trick work.

If you drive a little further, you can find a delightful place to explore the local flora and fauna - namely, Black River Gorges National Park. Besides countless colorful birds (parrots, Mauritian pigeons), the park is known for its wonderful observation platform offering breathtaking views. Together with kids, it is also worth visiting the Ebony Forest Reserve, which is ideal for walking. If small tourists wish to try the zipline, they can do that in La Vallee des Couleurs - another wonderful place near Le Morne.

It is worth mentioning a couple of places where you can pamper little adventurers with delicious food, in particular sweets. Among them are American Cafe where one should pay attention to wonderful cupcakes, Le Tropical Cafe with delicious fruit desserts, and La Rhumerie Restaurant serving tasty cakes and pies. It is recommended to try fantastic ice cream in Infinity Blue and fruit ice cream desserts in a restaurant of the same name located near the waterfall. The place is very atmospheric, striking with its panoramic window views.
