An easy forest walk leads to Black River Peak, in Black River Gorges National Park which at 828 metres is the highest spot on the island, and for teens and tweens there’s quad-biking to enjoy in eco-parks such as the Frederica Nature Reserve. Some of the largest hotels
and resorts in the Indian Ocean are found in Mauritius, offering excellent facilities and now courting the family market. Interconnecting rooms – with in-room children’s options such as Wii and wifi – are offered by many and there’s been an explosion of new family suites and villas. Great value all- inclusive packages have proved a great hit with families and offers include a second room for free in summer at The Residence, LUX* Le Morne and Heritage Le Telfair, kids
