Full Disclosure:
This trip was supported by Beachcomber Hotels & Resorts as well as the Mauritian Tourism Promotion Agency. As part of our collaboration, we were lucky enough to experience a complimentary stay at all three Beachcomber Resorts, whereas MTPA paid for several of our excursions, i.e. the helicopter flight. All other expenses, i.e. domestic flights, car rental, etc., were paid by ourselves. As usual, all opinions are our own.

Hello Lucas.. I'm from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and watch your travel documentaries on your YouTube channel. All your documentaries are interesting, beautiful and are of high quality. Your English accent is very good. Just like this Mauritius island, Sri Lanka too is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, blessed with natural beauty. Please visit our country too in future and do a documentary like this to tell the global community how beautiful it is... Thanks...
