The park is home to the world's largest population of Aldabra giant tortoises, up to 1,500. Since the tortoises in Mauritius were hunted to extinction by humans, the current tortoises are all introduced from Seychelles. Learn about the history of the Mauritian tortoise and other reptiles and the dodo through the Reptile Museum in the tortoise park. The Crocodile Park, located in the mountains and forests, was established in 1985 and is located in a nature reserve in the southern part of the Mauritius island, with a lush tropical rainforest landscape. In addition to tortoises and more than 2,000 crocodiles, the wonderful and colorful museum also houses Mauritian fruit bats, monkeys, iguanas, bats, deer, geckos, eels, wild boars, etc. There are also an insect museum with a collection of 23,000 species and a fossil museum of "hundreds of millions of years under the sea" in the park. It is said that the entomological museum is filled with the private collection of a French entomologist. In the museum, visitors can see all kinds of strange insects, some of which are the size of a human face. Take a close photo with animals The tortoises here can even carry people slowly forward. In addition, visitors can also get close contact with a kind of bat that loves to eat mangoes - fruit bat. Those furry little guys are not afraid of people and can hang upside down in front of tourists for their pictures. Want to take a photo with a baby crocodile? Here the wishes of tourists can be realized. There is a photo booth at the entrance of the park. Visitors can take pictures of the little crocodile. The staff will also use the PS software to remove the leather rope P on the mouth of the little crocodile. The cost is about 400 rupees. There are fast food restaurants in the park, and crocodile meat is sold. Crocodile leather goods can also be purchased at the entrance.Riviere des Anguilles · 4.4 km from Souillac

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.

The Cape of the End of the Earth in Mauritius has many large reefs protruding from the sea on the coastline, forming irregular angles. Some are like natural lighthouses standing on the sea, and some are like two pliers extending deep into the sea. The scenery is very beautiful and worth a visit.

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.

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.

The Big Wave Bay in Mauritius is so vast and beautiful! I really experienced what it means to be magnificent and turbulent. It is absolutely shocking to come here and look at it. I think it is one of the most beautiful scenery in Mauritius! !

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.

This place is a bit like a botanical garden + a zoo. The plant part is actually that the entire park is built against the mountain, and many paths are in dense tropical trees and bamboo forests. The environment is very good, allowing you to be in a completely natural environment.

I thought the glass bottom boat in Mauritius was very attractive, but when I got there, I was so amused that I almost died. It was far inferior to the underwater glass boat in Australia. The Mauritius one was at most a fishing boat, but there were two pieces of glass on the bottom so you could see the underwater scenery. That was because of the environment. The scenery you can see from the glass bottom boat is also average, mostly dead corals!
