Île Aux Aigrettes Offers A Pristine Area For Exploration

Explore Île aux Aigrettes would be the next thing to do in Mauritius. Île aux Aigrettes offers a glimpse of the primitive and untamed Mauritius that met early explorers on the edge of the lagoon right off Mauritius' unspoiled southeast coast. The old-growth ebony forest in this area serves as a reminder of how the main island looked before European colonists arrived there in the 16th century. Be careful not to step on a Mauritian giant turtle! The forest was restored as part of a government-backed conservation initiative, and it now protects a variety of endangered birds and other wildlife species.

Just off the shore of Mahebourg is the island of Île aux Aigrettes, and as you board the boat, you can see Mahebourg's charming harbor in all its splendor. From the ocean, the boats, sea creatures, and coast appear incredibly lovely. The island is like an emerald emerging from the water. So that you can see the sunrise, reserve a seat on the boat early. One of the most popular activities in Mauritius is the guided tour, which consists of a hike around the island's paths. The walk, which lasts roughly 1.5 hours, passes through all the key locations on the island where you can see numerous creatures and take in the shade of the native forest, which is home to more than 18 endemic or rare species. Wear appropriate hiking boots, and although a walking stick is not required, consider purchasing one. There is a fantastic nature museum on Ile Aux Aigrettes (Egret Island) that is devoted to Mauritian ecology. Life-size bronze sculptures and paintings representing the different plants and animals that now inhabit and once did inhabit the island can be found here. At the museum, you may discover and understand the rarity of these plants and animals. Spend some time exploring this lovely museum and many more activities.
