It was a great experience. The underwater waterfall and the water color of the atolls near the island are beautiful. It is a beautiful view that can only be seen from a helicopter.

We set off early in the morning and drove all the way to the westernmost part of Mauritius, which is the Dolphin Bay. We set off on foot and sat on the boat and arrived at the habitat of the dolphins. At this time, the captain slowed down and waited for them to swim over. We saw a group of dolphins, and the little dolphins were all pink. We had to follow the captain's command and go into the sea to chase them. I couldn't swim after a while. It was really a physical job. Very fun!

The Solar Undersea Walk at Deer Island in Mauritius is an underwater sport that is worth experiencing. You can wear a diving suit or a diving mask like a space suit and walk freely on the seabed to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness. In addition, the colorful corals on the seabed will definitely attract you. It is really a beautiful and wonderful world.

It is the collective name of three islands. Mauritius is full of islands and beauty. You can go hiking on the islands and find many interesting things. You can also go diving. It is very enjoyable here. There are many holy places for snorkeling. My favorite is Gunnars Island. It is an outer island, so it is a bit far to come here, but the scenery is absolutely first-class.

Fort Hill in Port Louis, Mauritius is a defensive fortress with a history of more than 400 years. Now it is the best place to appreciate Port Louis, because its terrain is very high and it overlooks the whole Port Louis. It is a famous attraction here and must not be missed.
