this site you can enjoy UNLIMITED water-skiing at NO ADDITIONAL
CHARGE.
Great Family Activity Holidays, where the whole family can enjoy
different activities and it's all free, just think
of the 'savings' ! - and above all just think of the pleasure and
enjoyment leading to an absolutely 'fantastic family holiday'.
Waterskiing:-
Is FREE and plentiful
at the majority of our resorts, most hotels employ the services
of an outside professional company, just go down to the 'boat house'
on the beach-front and make your enquiries, lessons, tips and all
that you may require regarding waterskiing will be answered by the
professionals.
Lessons and Instruction by the professionals are available for beginners
and those wishing to develop advanced skills. Windsurfing, snorkelling,
kayaks, pedalos and glass bottom boats can also be enjoyed many
free of charge.
Deep
Sea Fishing:-
Hire a modern well equipped deep-sea fishing boat and it will whisk
you full speed beyond the coral reef to deep blue waters just 3
miles off-shore from the Paradis resort.
Mauritian waters are famous for their big game fishing and we strongly
recommend that fishing enthusiasts pre-book their fishing boats
particularly during the Marlin season. With many world records to
their name, the Paradis resort has a fleet of aptly named "Challenger"
fishing boats, by far the best on the island.
From November to April, and very often
until May, huge fish like the Blue Marlin roam the seas of Mauritius
and hunt the island, where the ocean runs 70 metres deep one kilometere
away from the coast.
Mauritius holds several world fishing records (IGFA), including
that of the mako shark, some 1115 lbs.

Explore the bottom of the ocean and coral reefs for some of the
most rare species of marine life, see at 'close-hand' the exotic
colourful fish and underwater scenes. Dive down to the sea-bed and
explore many of the 'shipwrecks' dating back to the old pirate days.
Private lessons, tuition, available for those who have never dived

advanced skills, all by the professionals, at resort.

camara
Undersea
walks
- this novelty activity is becoming increasingly popular in Mauritius
and allows non-divers to experience life below the waves. Participants
put on diving helmets and lead boots and stroll along the sea-bed
touching and feeding the fish in a sort of 'Jules Verne - journey
beneath the sea' -. Oxygen is piped into each divers' helmet from
the surface station above - and divers are on hand in case
of any problems.
Many visitors to Mauritius rate this adventure as the experience
and highlight of their whole trip.
Golf:-
Golfers are well catered for with a superb 18 hole championship
golf course at Paradis - shared with the clients of its' sister
hotel 'Dinarobin' next door, also,
a 9 hole course (with 18 tees) at Trou Aux Biches, a 9 hole par
3 course at Shandrani and practice driving nets and putting greens

Adventure
for Teenagers:-
You don't need to worry about your teenage children. For those that
have boundless energy and an adventurous spirit, there are endless
opportunities for them to try all those adrenalin-pumping sports
like windsurfing and water-skiing. You can spend time with your
children enjoying a fun-filled sporty holiday without digging too
deeply into your pockets.
Sailing:-
Sailing conditions are excellent and there are a variety of lasers
or hobicats available at all of the hotels for your use in the lagoon.
Windsurfing:-
Windsurfing is very popular on Mauritius - at the majority of our
Beachcomber resorts, windsurfing is absolutely FREE.
The east coast of Mauritius occasionally and then usually seasonally,
attracts the 'trade winds', which in years gone-by, many a sailing
ship came to grief by being thrown onto the coral reef in such strong
winds - for beginners the west coast is ideal, for the mountains
act as a shield against any strong easterly-winds that might prevail
- equipment is usually plentiful and fully maintained at all of
our resorts. Professional advice and assistance is at hand - private
tuition also available.
Cruises:-
Day cruises and evening sunset cruises on board a catamaran can
be chartered and are suitable for excursions aroud the lagoon and
into the open sea.
Casino:-
For those who like a flutter and want to try their luck at the tables,
there is a casino to be found at Trou Aux Biches, Le Victoria and
Paradis.
Kids
clubs:-
There is so much fun for the children - it is one of the few luxury
places in the world that welcome children with open arms. Activities
including shell decoration, aquagym, Sega football, painting, water
polo, sailing, tennis are typical of what the clubs have to offer
and children can take part in as many or as few as they wish. In
addition to the above the clubs have swings, slides etc.
There is a Bob Marlin Club at all of the resorts**with suitably
qualified staff to ensure that the children enjoy the holiday to
the fullest. Kids clubs are open all year round and are divided
