  Situated on dormant volcanoes, Mauritius is known as the star of the Indian Ocean. From the historic plantation homes and the ornate island temples, to the idyllic beaches and luxurious hotels of the coast, the island has much to offer the holiday-maker. Reunion lies 160 kilometres to the west of Mauritius, a lush and mountainous island still being created by the volcanically active Piton de la Fournaise. It offers a different sort of holiday for those seeking to climb to the lip of the volcano, hike through the rainforests, or explore remote mountain villages. This guide should help visitors decide what destination is best suited to their taste and budget. Travel advice is provided on how to get around and what to see on each island.
