When it comes to Mauritius holidays, one of the main highlights has to be the chance to visit the beautiful Labourdonnais Orchards. Located in northern Mauritius, the 50-hectare attraction boasts a wide array of exotic fruits, vegetables and flowers that make for the perfect day out as part of a holiday to the island. You'll be able to see many different types of trees producing fruit ranging from passion fruits, pineapples, custard apples and jackfruits to sweet bananas, coconuts, lychees, paw paws, guavas and grapefruits. Visitors can sample some of this delicious fruit if they wish to do so - as well as the fresh variety, you can taste some wonderful juices and sorbets and indulgent preserves and jams that are also ideal for taking home as presents. If you prefer to take in the unique sight and scent of exotic flowers, you can feast your senses on the likes of orchids, anthuriums, bougainvilleas and hibiscus. You can choose to explore the Labourdonnais Orchards on foot, although you can opt to hire a bike and take a cycling tour of the area. Bike tours take about one hour to complete and are easy enough to undertake because there are few hills in this part of Mauritius. Once you've finished looking around the orchards, you might want to check out some of the other attractions in northern Mauritius. Among these is the popular tourist hotspot of Grand Bay, where you can sunbathe, shop and party to your heart's content. Meanwhile, Pereybere is another beach area perfect for sun worshippers, while culture vultures might want to head to the Balaclava ruins. Located close to Baie aux Tortues, the remains of old Balaclava estate include the sea walls whose foundations were laid by Mahe de Labourdonnais. Elsewhere, the village of Triolet is worth a visit for two reasons - it's the longest village on the island and is also home to the Maheswarnath, the largest Hindu temple in Mauritius. The temple was constructed in 1819 to honour Hindu gods Shiva, Krishna, Vishnu, Ganesh, Muruga and Brahma. Whatever you choose to do on your Mauritius holiday, you can be sure of having the perfect sunshine break packed with the right mix of culture, history and entertainment.
