Water sports in Mauritius are too good. Even if you aren’t a water baby, Mauritius will make you fall in love with at least the basic water sports that need no swimming training.
For a special sea-air activity, be sure to enjoy Parasailing in any of the following locations: Grand Baie, Belle Mare, or Ile aux Cerfs. Green tourism is a real axis in Mauritius and the Sea Kayaking trips to Ile d’Ambre are the ideal nature discovery trip introducing you to the island’s wonders through environmental protection. Love Speed? Then a must is the Sea Hover Adventure offering an adrenaline pumping experience along the west coast of Mauritius.
1. Parasailing
Parasailing in Mauritius is a great sport to start with. It not just gives you a bird’s-eye view of the lagoons, but also an unmatched thrill. This is the best place to lose yourself in the magnificent turquoise waters and their vastness. The duration differs from place to place, but basically a parasailing flight is about 5 to 15 minutes. The parasailing begins with a short safety briefing. Then you will be taken by boat to the launch pod where you will later take off and start the parasailing.
