THANKSGIVING IN MAURITIUS & SEYCHELLES

[CLICK HERE FOR ALL THE DETAILS AND TO RSVP](https://1000treks.com/trip/thanksgiving-in-mauritius-and-seychelles/) All right, I decided to go all out and go crazy on this one (as I often do!) and make this another insanely amazing trip. Initially, we were going to Seychelles only, and that alone would have been phenomenal, but since it’s a long flight and we will be in the Western Indian Ocean, I decided to make this a legendary trip: we are going to start with Mauritius, which is easier to get to, and then go to Seychelles afterward. It will be a little longer than our usual one-week Thanksgiving trips (and you can keep it to one week if you need to), but it will be 1000% worth it! As always for our Thanksgiving trips, we will have a scuba group that will scuba dive every day, and a non-scuba group that will have activities every day. **HIGHLIGHTS** * See the [Underwater Waterfall](https://tinyurl.com/45jpdddv), the newest natural wonder that is blowing people’s minds. A jaw-dropping sight that apparently can’t be seen anywhere else in the world. * [Swim with dolphins in the wild](https://youtu.be/LXDgjZbNjvk?si=Ur72G-Gxht7mK5Xa&t=10). Yup, you read this correctly! We are not going to just see them, but jump in the water and swim with free dolphins in their natural habitat! * [Snorkel and scuba dive](https://www.instagram.com/p/DKr7eFKsUQD/) in some of the most beautiful locations in the world. * Go on an [ATV safari](https://youtu.be/W2_dh0qS5sQ?si=IagY5N4GEIqotnga&t=33)! Yup, you read that correctly too! * Hike [Le Morne Brabant](https://www.instagram.com/p/DJjaEHrsBzy/), where we will have one of the most beautiful views of the Indian Ocean from the top, including the Underwater Waterfall * Hike to [stunning waterfalls](https://www.instagram.com/p/DFXaB-gOlRy/?hl=en). * Go on a [breathtaking catamaran day trip](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVqVWNpjKro/?hl=en). * Not only horseback ride on the beach, but [horseback riding in the water](https://www.instagram.com/reels/DFSN6P6gjJG/)! * Have a special Thanksgiving [Sega show and Creole dinner](https://www.instagram.com/p/CyqPe6kRAqo/). * And obviously, our super cool and super fun activities: – [Ziplining through waterfalls](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2jzLE_y3uk/) – [Kayaking through mangroves](https://www.instagram.com/p/DWjrLHvAnKX/) – [Paddle boarding](https://www.instagram.com/p/DMf8B-zo_Zi/) – [Waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing](https://www.instagram.com/p/C_lM5UaIFbH/) – [Kitesurfing](https://youtu.be/K9HOX6wl_xo?si=5SoLN3MBz7Pz3Idj&t=10). Mauritius is one of the best kitesurfing locations in the world! And you can take classes. – [Surfing](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8mr2ccI9kH/) – Pretty much all the fun stuff you can think of!

Strawberry Peak, the harder way

Want to be part of history? I'm hoping to hike Strawberry Peak via the "Mountaineer's Route" but - in what I believe to be a first - I'm going to try bringing my bike along. While some might be scared of the name, I've done this several times, I know the route, and, as long as you're fit, adventurous, and not overly afraid of heights, you can do it. It just involves clambering over some rocks. It's not actually mountaineering and it's not like roped rock climbing. (The image isn't on the route, I had to walk a bit to find some exposure.) However, you will need to help pass the bike up to me at some points. You can find plenty of videos and reports about the route online. Bear in mind this is NOT the route that starts at Red Box. We'll return that way, but we'll start at Colby Canyon. We'll hike at a slow to moderate pace. See my writeup here: https://goalhiking.org/g/strawberry-peak-mountaineers-route As usual, anyone who signs up goes on a waiting list. To get off it, leave a comment or send me a DM.
