The Mecca of anglers in Mauritius is definitely at Rivière Noire, where the Blue and Black Marlin can be tagged and released during season.
The mountainside is dotted with grand villas and below by the Royal road, Ruisseau Creole shopping mall beckons with great clothes and souvenir shops, restaurants, a bank and a pizza take away. A good stop for lunch and a stroll through the shops. The road to the bottom entrance and visitors centre of the National Park branches off the main road close by.
