In episode 6 of our MAURITIUS ROAD TRIP we show you one of the many reasons why you should visit Mauritius: it's so easy to get from great mountain hikes to beautiful beaches in a short amount of time. This is just one of the many reasons why we love Mauritius, but it's not often that a travel destination offers such a rich variety of sceneries!
In this video we start our day in Port Louis and then drive to Le Pouce to go on one of the island’s best hikes to the top of the mountain that’s supposed to look like a thumb (it doesn’t really). After trying to find some healthy food in Port Louis, we then continue driving to stop 5 on our road trip the next day. And we were really excited for this one! We quickly fell in love with Trou-aux-Biches and for us it’s one of the best beach destinations on the island.

This video is part of a multi-part series of our ultimate ROAD TRIP THROUGH MAURITIUS! Mauritius is a popular honeymoon and beach holiday destination but it has so much more to offer than beautiful beaches (although there are many of them as well). We’re really excited to get to know this African island country and its culture and cuisine. On our road trip we’ll spend three weeks driving from the South up the West coast, then further into the North and finally down the East coast. Our goal is to get to know Mauritius from all sides, as well as check out its beautiful beaches and nature.
