Exploring Balaclava
This area of the island is one of romance and beauty, rich in natural allure. The beaches in the north of the island are some of the finest in Mauritius but if you prefer something a little higher octane then a glass bottomed boat excursion will take you out on the waters to snorkel, water ski or wind surf.
If you would like utter seclusion, then a trip to the Mont Choisy beach will take you to crystal clear waters and a quieter beach front with fewer boats and water activities than most, offering a more private and tranquil experience.
The lively towns of Balaclava have with great restaurants, bars and shopping on offer, while the Baie aux Tortues provides you with a fantastic experience to see turtles in high numbers on the beautiful bay, complete with lush green hills and wonderful panoramic views. If your'e looking for somewhere even more bustling then Grand Baie can offer island tranquility with a great nightlife.
