Horseriding has deep roots in the island country of Mauritius and you'll have a chance to see its powdery-soft beaches and lush, forested interior from the saddle. In true island style, canter through the gently washing waves and sea breeze on horseback or head inland to ride up mountain trails, through dense rainforest and past the tranquil waterfalls. You could even ride right into the sea for a dip with your four-legged friend. Mauritius is lovely at any time of year (minus hurricane season) but its at its loveliest between May and October when the humidity is low, the temperatures are balmy and the sun is ever-present.
