Mauritius Island is a place most people have never heard of. I read some place that when a google search comes up for Mauritius, it is normally, where is it located. Well, it is a beautiful island just southeast of the African continent located in the Indian Ocean. I have always thought the Indian Ocean is the most beautiful and after seeing the photos of Mauritius, you will see why.

We hope you enjoy our blog on the gorgeous Mauritius. If you have ever visited the island, leave us a comment and tell us things you enjoyed seeing and doing.
