If you like to travel, youâve probably seen all kinds of waterfalls from the world-renowned Niagara Falls to the fleeting, spectacular so-called Firefall in Yosemite National Park. Chances are, however, that you havenât seen an underwater waterfall.
An underwater waterfall? Yes. Well, sort of. Off the coast of a small island in the Indian Ocean, there is what appears to be a waterfall submerged in the ocean itself.

Mark Twain wrote, “Mauritius was made first and then heaven, heaven being copied after Mauritius.” While the island in the Indian Ocean is famous for its beautiful powder-white sandy beaches, lagoons, reefs, azure waters and fabulous resorts, there’s much more to it. Thanks to hotspots like its mountainous interior and protected forest, there are some exceptional natural sites to win the heart of flora and fauna lovers who are ready for an adventure. From stellar hiking trails to jaw-dropping waterfalls and beautiful giant water lilies, this friendly, multi-cultural sub-tropical East South African haven with a pleasant climate all year round really does have a lot to offer for nature enthusiasts. Here are the top two places to get closer to nature according to the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority.

Social media reminded me one morning that I had been to a bunch of Indian Ocean islands several years apart yet on the same date. It made me look at why I keep returning to the Indian Ocean for some island R and R. I think it is because the islands in the Indian Ocean are remarkably diverse, and there are so many more to choose from than in any other ocean. Stretching all the way from Africa, nudging the Middle East, all the way past Asia, and then hitting Australia, this is a vast ocean that offers an island for everyone, whether you like nature, beaches, history, action-packed breaks, or wildlife. So, I picked a few of my personal favorites to highlight the wide variety found in this ocean and to offer you some inspiration for vacations to come.
