In Mauritius, several parks offer the opportunity to meet the famous giant turtles. However, our favourite is La Vanille Nature Park, a small natural park located in the south-east of the island, home to many species, each more impressive than the other. Created in 1985, it raises and participates in the breeding of crocodiles, buffalo toads, brown pigs, geckos and mongooses. The star of the park, however, is the giant Aldabra turtle. These creatures, some of which are about a hundred years old, live freely in a huge unfenced savannah-like space. This allows you to approach them and touch their shells. Quite impressive mastodons that will fascinate young and old alike.

If you are lucky, you will surely have the opportunity to see these giant turtles enjoying their meals as they munch on carrots or salad. Your children will be able to feed them, touch them and learn more about these mysterious creatures. You may have the opportunity to see Domino, a male over 100 years old weighing about 275kg, the true star of the park. A magical visit that the whole family will love and that your children will be able to proudly tell their classmates.

Located in the West of the island, the Casela Natural and Leisure Park extends over 14 hectares of land that is covered with absolutely wonderful fauna and flora.

This is one of the most famous activities among travellers from all over the world. The dolphin is an animal that fascinates children and adults alike and it is often a dream for both children and parents to be able to meet this majestic creature.

Various Mauritian companies offer the possibility of swimming with dolphins in their natural environment. The excursion is usually done early in the morning in order to enjoy the tranquility and maximize the chances of seeing this superb marine mammal. A guide will give you a precise explanation of things to do and not to do and how to approach these creatures safely before finally being able to enter the water to meet the famous dolphins.

Keep your eyes peeled because you could come face to face with two species of dolphins. The first is the long beaked dolphin, which is easily recognisable because it lives in large groups. The second is the bottlenose dolphin, the most popular because the most friendly towards humans. A unique and exceptional activity that will leave its mark on the whole family!
