What to visit in Mauritius with children aged 5 and up

Choosing your visits to Mauritius according to the age of the children

This page lists tourist attractions and activities in Mauritius that are suitable for visiting with children, indicating for each the age from which it is truly appropriate. An activity ideal for a ten-year-old may indeed be unsuitable, or even impossible, for a younger child.

The question of age is central to this selection. Some outings require a minimum height, good endurance, or real comfort in the water: a hike to the summit of Le Morne BrabantFor example, it has nothing to do with a walk in a garden. Similarly, a long sea excursion or certain water activities are better suited to older children.

From around the age of five, many doors open: nature parks and giant tortoises, gardens, easy walks, glass-bottom boat trips, or first attempts at snorkeling near the shore, in the calm waters of the Lagoon. around ten years old and beyond, children can take part in more Challenging activities: longer hikes, full days on a catamaran, introductory dives or outings requiring more autonomy.

For each venue or activity listed here, we indicate the recommended age to help you create a program suitable for your children. Before booking, it's always best to check directly with the provider regarding age and height requirements, as these can vary from one establishment to another.
