It's worth going. The giant tortoises, lions, and the last wild reserve, antelopes, and giraffes all look different from those in China. The foreign lady who exchanged the tickets was very responsible.
The animals are in good condition, the venue is large, and the enrichment facilities are complete. It is suitable for you to calm down and play slowly, not for special forces-style check-ins, so that you can really discover some fun and ways to play.

[Scenery] This Tianya Haijiao is next to a kilometer, mainly for viewing the sea. Fortunately, we came here by chartered car, and everyone just stopped by the roadside to let tourists go to the viewing platform to enjoy it. Then we drove all the way to the Natural Bridge, which is still very necessary. In fact, it is very wide and you can walk on the bridge and take pictures!
Some people say that Tianya Haijiao is just average, but I think the scenery is still very beautiful. The sea water and rocks are a scenic spot in themselves. The rocks here are also very distinctive and in various shapes. Although there are many tourists, you can still take beautiful pictures, especially the beach under the afterglow of the sunset, which has a unique flavor.

Panoramic view of colorful soil
Enclosed park with colorful soil
Verified user reviews
The volcanic terrain of Mauritius has created a natural landscape with a low mountain but strange shapes. The seven-colored soil in Chamarel was discovered by a Frenchman who was planting sugarcane fields here. Among the sugarcane fields here, only this piece of land is barren. After geologists went there to develop and study, this magical and magnificent seven-colored soil was revealed to the world.
Mauritius has seven colors. Actually, there are three colors (black, red, and khaki). The other four colors depend on your luck. When the sunlight is just right, they can be refracted, but it is still very difficult to take pictures. I will take you to see the dead mouth along the way!

It is also called "Blue Bay" because of its clear blue water. It is about 600 meters long and is a wide beach in Kenting National Park. There are many water activities, including sailing, jet skiing, banana boats, surfing, and other recreational projects. You can also play beach volleyball with friends. It is a famous diving resort. There are various corals, tropical fish, shellfish, sea lilies, etc. along the coast, and the underwater landscape is extremely beautiful.
Blue Bay is the most beautiful bay in Mauritius. The scenery here is so beautiful, the sea water is so blue, and the sand on the beach is so clean. It is also very delicate and comfortable to step on.

The magic of nature created a natural stone bridge. The way back and forth required following the tour guide through the sugarcane fields. It was a great experience to experience the four-wheel drive again.
The Natural Bridge is a natural attraction in Mauritius. There is no bus to reach it. The scenery of this attraction is spectacular, and you can see beautiful waves. You can walk on the Natural Bridge, but you have to walk slowly because the road surface is uneven.

Deer Island is the most beautiful island in Mauritius. There are a variety of water entertainment projects on this island, among which paragliding is the most worth experiencing. The speedboat pulls the paraglider and rises to the sky little by little. From the high altitude, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery around the entire Deer Island, which is really shocking.
This is really fun. You may feel a little worried and scared at the beginning, but once you actually take off and enjoy the beautiful scenery, all your fears will disappear and you'll want to play it again!

The Southern 4WD is located on the southern coast. The scenery along the way is diverse and rich. You can see large tracts of sugarcane fields (some people sell sugarcane and coconuts here, and you have to pay when you take them), as well as coasts, cliffs, waterfalls, mud, mountains, woods, and sand. You can fully experience the various landforms of southern Mauritius. If you don't play this project, most of these landforms cannot be reached or seen by other means.
The four-wheel drive is very exciting and can be driven for almost two hours. The tea garden is also great.

The weather in Maoqiu is so good, the sky is always blue, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. This is the famous red-roofed church⛪️, but it was not open at the wrong time. But the guide said that this was the only port in Maoqiu.
This is the famous red-roofed church💒. The church is not big. There was no mass when we came so we could only look at the exterior. I always take pictures. This used to be the old port of Mauritius, and there are many small sailboats⛵️ moored. It is worth a visit. The main reason is that the direct flight from Shanghai to Mauritius takes 12 hours, so I have to visit all the attractions in Mauritius😄

Black River Gorges National Park is a national park with dense primeval forests on the island of Mauritius. It has rich flora and fauna resources and magnificent scenery. You can choose to hike or boat to explore the entire national park, allowing you to fully experience the beauty of nature.
Black River Gorges National Park is a very important national park in Mauritius. I came here during the rainy season. Although we couldn’t see far away, it had a different kind of hazy beauty. Because of the rain, there were fewer tourists and the entire national park was our world.
