Great video. Can't wait to visit it 😍
Thanks so much! Totally worth the trip!
I’m going this December your video has made me excited. Thanks for the tips
Amazing! I definitely suggest contacting the locations ahead of time just to check if the pandemic has changed their opening hours in anyway. I usually visit the accounts in Instagram for the latest updates, just in case. Enjoy your trip and have a blast!
Going there in couple weeks time, thank you for sharing.
My pleasure! Hope you have a marvellous time!
I just arrived in Mauritius on the 30th of January. Nice video
Oh great! Let me know if you end up doing of these things. Would love to know if you enjoyed them!
fantastic! My book club is reading “The Last Brother” by Nathacha Appanah. Wish i could get on a plane today !
Wow, amazing!
There next month cannot wait
What amazing natural island,hoping to visit there .
Thanks for checking out our video, Mauritius really is gorgeous.
Great video
Enjoyed it
Thank you so much for sharing your time with us!
loved the vid
The most informative video about Mauritius in a very short time. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your time with us and I really hope it helps!
What an amazing video. You made it so entertaining and informative.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and to comment. We really appreciate the support. Will you be heading to Mauritius soon?
@@weliveincapetown We recently visited Mauritius. Love that place.
@@travelandlifewithroaz Awesome! Where did you guys stay?
@@weliveincapetown We stayed in four Seasons Resort. The place is amazing. Where did you guys stayed. Are you there on Instagram.
@@travelandlifewithroaz Oh wow! I actually stayed at the Four Seasons as well, in their villa. Here's a vlog I made of it! czcams.com/video/LLtYxHgyUf8/video.html
I am also available on Instagram here: instagram.com/gotthepassports_
I enjoyed your video. It's good 👍
Thank you so much for sharing your time with us!
Good job. Thanks
Thanks, visiting next month
Thank you for this video, we got married in Mauritius 4 years ago and we dream of going back there as soon as possible.
That's amazing! I also haven't been back for quite some time and think about it weekly :D
Most things visible in the video are situated in the southwest of the island. It is the ‚creole‘ part of Mauritius. Means, here are the Creol roots and the missing part is a climb on the Le Morne Brabant mountain, an absolutely must do! A world heritage site as well. Next to it is the beautiful beach on this magnificent peninsula. In around a 15 min ride by car near Chamarell is the National Park. Hiking is a must on many different routes throu the valley or on top of the mountains onto the highest peak of Mauritis, the Black River Peak. …There are so many more great places to see ! Tamarin Falls, Bois Cheri Tea Plantation, Grand Bassin, etc.
Thank you so much for these ideas M.O.R! I will save them for any future trips I have to Mauritius :)
Cool video
I have been to Mauritius 3 times and I'll say apart from the Rum and Sugar Factories, I've seen the rest of it. I would add some more places to see:
1. Gris Gris Cliffs
2. 7 Cascades Waterfalls
3. Black River Gorges National Park
4. Grand Bassin
5. Le Vanille Nature Park
6. Port Louis (and its main attractions)
7. Le Morne Brabant
8. Casela Nature Park
9. Grand Baie
10. Flic-en-Flac Beach
In terms of 5 Islands tour, I'm not sure which one you went to but I did 2 separate island tours (Iles des Cerfs and Iles des Cocos)
Thanks so much for the suggestions! We also went to Grand Baie but with beaches in the resorts I didn't feel it was really worth recommending per se. Was cool to have a fresh coconut though! Also went past Flic-en-Flac, keen on these other suggestions though, thank you!
Try to explore the rivers of Mauritius
Thanks for making us proud of our island.. . there are many places more interesting than this you have not yet discovered ,next time if u come make sure to visit . . .I will give you some tips if possible , , thanks 💓💙💛💚
Thank you for watching! I would LOVE to see more Mauritius, I will definitely message you again in the future :)
@@weliveincapetown ur welcome, its a pleasure for me .. will wait for ur message. . .
@@kunal_singh9477 can you give me some Tipps please? I think about travelling to Mauritius soon. Will it be boring alone with a backpack?
@@rajabrasen5439 R u coming alone? its not that much boring because of the entertainment you will see and received here. take the notes of the places: Casela nature park, crocodile park, water park( slide into pool) , trou aux cerf (dormant volcano), chamarel 7 colours,black river gorge national waterfall, plenty of beaches we have like belle mare, palmar, flic en flacq,blue bay,,and we have Natural bridge at gris gris beach ( pond naturel),tamarin beach(dolphin sighting n surfing), le morne (on the bottom of island),cap malheureux.etc,,in fact there are many more...about 200 tourist sighting.
Hi Kunal,
I am Spencer from the United Kingdom and will be visiting the delicious Island of Mauritius this spring. Please can you recommend some unique and beautiful location to visit whilst we are in Mauritius? Also do you know where can we hire a car? Thank you 🇬🇧
Hi There. It is so Awesome to see South African Vloggers reviews because it is so difficult when it comes to South African bookings. Very quickly, was this cruise holiday or a normal flight bookings. Also, did you use a travel agency and if so, which agency did you use. I have been on two cruises with MSC and I would like to visit a different destination now. So I am thinking of doing the Mauritius trip. Also, what is the rate of exchange in Mauritius? I have so many questions, but I will not bombard you with that now😁🤣 Thanks
Hey! I booked my flights through SAA and used the hotel shuttle. You can order taxi’s from your hotel if you want to go out and do stuff, the hotel will give you recommendations. The second time was a business trip so things were booked for me. Go to our blog and search Mauritius and posts will come up with more info :)
Proud to be a mauritian
Awesome country! We love it! 🇿🇦🇲🇺
@@weliveincapetown thank you
You are always welcome to our country ☺
@@poojagawree9563 BTW kot to rester??
Mauritius 🇲🇺 island one of the most beautiful romantic island on the planet
Absolutely! Beautiful island.
depends….with which islands in the world you compare it and if you personally can compare it by your own experience. Have you seen so much in the world yet?
I love mauritius😍
Me too
My King used to live there at chateau de Val ory and I would like to visit there one day
Oh wow! Which country are you from?
Could you please recommend me the best stay for honeymoon which is budget friendly and near clean beach and from the above places are not too far.. Thanks in advance... What about Radisson Blu hotel?
I've not been to Mauritius in over 20 years, I bet it's so different now
There's definitely been a lot of development from what I've gathered from locals.
Me too I left in Jan 2000 Never got a chance to visit 🇺🇲🇲🇺
@@freedomqueen3839 All the more excuse to add it to the bucket list for post covid times :D
Loll
Yes it's a concrete jungle now.
Building ect..
Its nor laid back country which it used to be in early 2000's its westernizing a lot.
What month did you travel there? Looks like perfect weather!
We travelling in November and in January. January was EXTREMELY hot, wow! Kept steaming up our cameras! November was awesome :)
It's beautiful place to go Mauritius n very nice hotel n very friendly people
Cool intro. What program did you use to make it?
Final Cut Pro :)
Love ur video ! Thanks for the insights. How did you travel in Mauritius?
Thanks for watching BDN! We had a private car that took us around. I'm sure you could chat to your hotel about where's best to get a car from, I'm sure they will have a few suggestions.
❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
I Missing my holiday weekend
Hopefully we will all be able to travel again before the end of 2021 :)
I love my country Mauritius is like paradise to me 😁 it's like Hawaii but better to me you can visit it any time but unfortunately corona got on the beautiful island
Corona got everywhere so that's no reason to keep the people visiting one day again. I believe the borders are now open again!
@@weliveincapetown of you need someone to pick you up at the airport am here 😁😉🙃 it will be my pleasure
@@marinec22751 Thank you so much.

Any family friendly accommodation that is affordable and things to do included that you can recommend?
Yes! Check our Veranda in Tamarin. Swimming with dolphins right outside the hotel, SUPping, hotel pool, etc. Take a peek there :)
I am so happy To Be MAURITIAN 🇲🇺❤❤🥳🥳🥳
Beautiful country with wonderful people!
Yes
Did you pre-book your activities in advance or can you book closer to the time?
where is the best/affordable plave to stay
Everyone’s budget is different so I think it’s probably best to do a little Google because there are places from $100 to $ 100 000 a night! I would book activities closer to the time, especially since things are so up and down at the moment (I booked swimming with dolphins literally the day before).
@@weliveincapetown awesome may I ask wgich travel vendor you used?
@@TheMsYessYess I booked through the Veranda Tamarin Surf School/shop. It's literally right outside the hotel so I just used them :) Was about $50 to swim with dolphins :)
Which place is best for tourist? I found a good deal for Veranda Tamarin Hotel but I ready dont know where is located
I've stayed at that Veranda Tamarin and it's not a 5 star hotel, but it is located right on the public beach so it's easy to go swimming with the dolphins and SUPping from the hotel.
is there any motorbikes activities in the mountains or buggies?
Yes there are. Other friends went four wheeling but I'm not 100% sure where.
How much in rands was it to swim with the dolphins?
About R600 :)
Wooow
Hey pl confirm me total cost u spend der item wise ??
Which currency are you working in?
Are there any other requirements needed to enter Mauritius as South African besides Covid19 certificate?
Hiya! You'll need to check the Mauritius Tourism website, I'm not sure what their latest updates are at the moment :)
Can we hire self drive cars and do we get temporary licence?
Morning Giridharan, yes, you can hire cars in Mauritius. Many visitors self-drive, however, I don’t know about the licence. When you reach out to the car hire company, I suggest asking them there. Good luck and have fun!
Whereabouts did you stay/ where would you recommend to stay?
Hey SB! I stayed in the north, east and west! I loved the LUX Grand Gaube in the north because you can walk straight out of your room and onto the beach. The Wast was at Veranda, which is budget friendly and in the East I stayed at the Four Seasons, which is obviously premium accommodation. Where are you travelling from?
@@weliveincapetown London wanted to stay somewhere nice but not super expensive
@@weliveincapetown I’m looking to go next year for my birthday in October!!
@@stembabe740 Then check our Veranda in Tamarin. It's right opposite the public beach where you can go swimming with wild dolphins for about 50 quid :)
Hy im morisas vloger im big fan
Thanks for watching Kaushambi!
I remember when the seven coloured earth was completely open and you could walk on it and even bring back some coloured earth with. But sadly people did not respect and they had to stop the walks on the earth. Nw we have to look at it from far 😕
Oh how sad! Typical humans, right? Thanks for telling me though, interesting to know :)
I m from Bénin République Do I need a visa before come to Mauritius please I love this country so much
When Mauritius flight will be starting any update
Hi Shahrukh, there have been flights to the island. Where would you like to fly to Mauritius from?
hi I am from mauritius..there are very few flights..you must buy a package including air ticket and hotel stay with 15 days quarantine..it's a fortune...
@@nasmader4446 thanks so much for the tips Nas! Travel from South Africa is still closed until the end of the month so we will have to see what they say in March :)
@@weliveincapetown hope everything fine..take care..hope to see you soon..
Hopefully July 2021. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, flights to Mauritius should be up to speed by October 2021.
Ok am in mauritius rn what whoud i do now
Are you in the north, south, east or west?
Do you recommend an American to move and live there as an expat?
I'm not qualified to really speak on this, but personally I'd say no. Mauritius is a small island with limited amenities, I think you'd struggle coming from a well equipped, developed world nation to Mauritius. May as well move to Hawaii and remain in the States.
Hie , i am planning on visiting Mauritius can you link me to your host or guide rather
Which flight did you take to get to Mauritius?
SAA from Cape Town via Joburg. Air Mauritius from Cape Town Direct.
@@weliveincapetown Thanks but looks that there are no flights available now
@@yudishdivesh9373 Yes, South Africa is banned until the 28th of February due to Corona.
@@weliveincapetown Thanks for the reply 😊
you are from which country..????
What was the little animal family
They are little mammals called TANGS! Cute hey?
What type of animal is at 1:46?
They are tang! A little island mammal!
@@weliveincapetown oh cool!
im mauritian
What’s the hottest month to travel to Mauritius?
I think Feb March. The rather is stormy and hot! Best to go in November :)
@@weliveincapetown December any good?
@@SamirPatel-lj4jm Yes I think it's ok (not stormy season) but is becoming very hot. We went at the end of January (the 1st time) and it was BOILING!
The best months to visit are November and December..actually it's as hot in January and February but the risks of cyclones and heavy rainfall is higher in these two months..
@@prakashgooljar5026 Thanks for helping :) I agree, November was FAR more pleasant than January, January was insanely hot AND we had our trip pushed out a week due to a cyclone!
where in Mauritius did you stay? :)
Hi Witney! I've stayed at the Veranda in Tamarin in the west, LUX Grand Gaube in the north and Four Seasons Anahita in the West. One for every budget :D
@@weliveincapetown thank you so much! ❤️❤️
🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺
I live in Mauritius
Beautiful island! Feels like half of South Africa is there right now and I'm very jealous!
Do you live there in Mauritius
No I don't, I live in South Africa.
Hi
Mauritius n Belize CA speakers creole what really happened on earth .😎😷👍
There are so many places missing
I’m sure! Impossible to list everything in one video but happy to take your recommendations?
Let's see, there's:
Swim
Sunbathe
Drink
Boat
Water ski
Jet ski
Dive
Para-sail
Surf
Sight-see.
Yup, Ten.
Actually looks like an extremely fun place, but I agree, you SHOULD have taken more of the guided tours, yes they cost, but they enrich your visit so much more. You may have saved money, but in the end you short-changed yourself.
5:58
It's "DEPICTS", not "dictates".
DEPICTS the history of sugar on the islands.
Calm down Maria, I'm not a professional tour guide. I don't even work in tourism! I'm just sharing MY experience of the island. Why don't you make your own videos and do things the way YOU want to do them? 🙄
You have only 1000 subs but this video had around 150 k views?
So unfair 😔
In what sense? I think I'm lucky that my video has helped so many people! I only hit 1000 subs this week but my video has helped people for nearly 2 years :))
Don’t forget to bring a shit load of money.
We actually found the supermarkets to be relatively priced to South Africa and most resources in inclusive on some level (whether brekkie or brekkie/lunch or all 3 meals +).
Dont rent a car from Avis Budget Mauiritius Airport. They didnt refund the deposit. They didnt answer my messages now. Totally disaster. Gökyüzü Göktürk
You are soo cute
Pakistan?
Unvaccinated people still need to isolate for 7 days on arrival, this is a non starter and they need to update their Covid rules to reflect the science.
We actually know a bunch of people who just got COVID IN Mauritius so maybe it's good they're still trying to protect themselves? :(
@@weliveincapetown please read the science, the Vaccines don't stop you getting it, in fact they do the exact opposite
@@marktaylor2418 Please read my comments - people have the right to protect themselves the way they see fit.
Don't forget to visit a prison and a bit of hospitality to them poor people too thanks, there's is a lot suffering from ya rubbished outside here...
Most boring video I've seen of mauritius
Think you should take the advice in your bio.
