Travel Insurance for Mauritius

There are several reasons why Digit is preferred by many customers.

• Single-day Adventure Sports-Related Incidents are Covered - Mauritius is well-known for its adventure-sports-friendly beaches. However, such sports have a number of injuries attached to them, which makes them prohibitive to beginners. Mauritius travel insurance plans offered by Digit have comprehensive coverage against such incidents.
• Personal Liabilities Covered - In case you decide to rent a car and end up having an accident, there might be some damage to life and limb of other parties. You will have to pay for damages in this instance. This means a lot of extra costs, something that a Mauritius travel insurance plan covers.
• Losing or Misplacing Passport Covered - On overseas trips, lost passports are not terribly uncommon. You will then have to apply for a fresh set of papers. In the interim, you will need to re-issue a passport and a visa. This is where an insurance policy enters the picture and provides coverage for the re-issuance cost.
• High-Quality 24x7 Customer Service - Simply give a missed call to the number +91 730347000 will connect you with some of the Digit’s customer service agents in the country. Available round the clock, our customer service agents will call back in 10 minutes and address your grievances.

These are just a few instances where the Mauritius travel insurance policy can help you out during your trip to the islands.

Although part of the African continent, Mauritius has several different cultures amalgamated into a single one and is thus a melting pot of international tourists. The capital city is Port Louis, and it is also the most visited place in the country. Port Louis is a mere 40 minutes away from the sea if you rent a car.

Mauritius has much more to offer than just sunny beaches, of course. It has its own history of unique animals and birds. For example, the Dodo, the flightless extinct bird, was found only in Mauritius. Its fossils have never been found in any other country.

This is a country which has a rich history. In 1510, the Portuguese conquered it. Later, its ownership juggled between the Dutch, the English and other European imperialists. Mauritius has some of the finest beaches which have been revamped in later years and now rank as some of the best ones in the world.

Like most major tourist destinations, the country has a very capable administration with prompt police service and excellent medical facilities.

Best Time to Visit Mauritius

Top Places to Visit in Mauritius

Here are some of the must-visit spots in the country:

• Port Louis Theatre and Fort Adelaide - One place you cannot afford to miss is the capital city, Port Louis. The grand theatre and the Fort Adelaide are located within the older city’s precincts. While Fort Adelaide offers a commanding view of the waterfront and the capital, the theatre serves as a meeting point of the cultural elite. A lot of people find similarities between this venue and the grand opera theatre in Paris. 
• Caudan Waterfront - This is a very famous shopping destination which is known for bargain prices and attractive discounts. The waterfront itself is rather unique because it combines the best of tourism shopping and beachfront activities. There is a lot of high-end fares available at the Caudan- make sure you go through it.
• Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden - This is one of the largest botanical collections of water lilies in the world. These lilies are much larger than most of the other varieties. These flowers are in high demand from both foreign and native dealers and those who have an interest in breeding rare flowers. The park is also ideal for romantic evenings when the lights turn on, and the crowd comes alive.
• Black River Gorges National Park - This is the best natural park in the small island country, boasting some special species of fishes, birds and other animals which are unmatched. There are two rivers meeting here- the Tamarin and Black Rivers. The first river is ideal for adventure water-sports, and the second is best for fishing. Besides, there are several villa-type resorts which are available on rent. You will have to book them in advance, though.
• Chamarel - This is a small city located in the district of Rivière Noire. It is known for its volcanic formations, the famous ‘Seven-Coloured Earth’, the famous Ebony Forest and the superbly preserved Church of the Assumption of Mary. There are several rare animals found in a number of ecological preserves.
