- Catamaran day with snorkelling
- Pamplemousses Botanical Garden and Casela Nature Parks
- Glass-bottom boat trips and gentle water sports
Where to stay with children
- North (Grand Baie, Pereybere). Lively, with shops, restaurants and water sports. Best for first-time visitors.
- East (Belle Mare, Trou d'Eau Douce). Long white beaches and a lagoon, with the best-known resorts. Best for honeymoons and families.
- South-west (Le Morne). Dramatic mountain scenery, kitesurfing and quiet beaches. Best for scenery and adventure.
- West (Flic en Flac, Tamarin). Sunsets, diving and dolphin trips. Best for activities and value.
When to go with kids
May to December is the best time: dry, sunny and comfortable, with calm lagoons. October to December is especially pleasant before the heat builds up.
