Mauritius and its surrounding islands, including La Reunion and Rodrigues, were formed by volcanic activity under the ocean. These islands, collectively known as the Mascarene Islands (or Îles Mascareignes), sit on a submarine plateau, also known as an ocean shelf.

This shelf is no deeper than 150 meters below sea level, but its drop-off plunges to depths of over 4000 meters. What appears to be a waterfall isn't water rushing over the edge to a depth of 4000 meters, but rather sand and silt being gently carried off the edge by the ocean’s currents. This phenomenon is better described as an underwater sandfall. You’ll find this natural wonder to the southwest of Mauritius, just offshore of the Le Morne Peninsula.

How Can I See the Underwater Waterfall?

To catch a glimpse of this marvel, you can hike up Le Morne Brabant. From the top of the 500-meter peak, you'll enjoy incredible views over the island and the stunning reef that surrounds it. However, the only way to see the exact formation of the underwater waterfall is from above. Helicopter sightseeing tours offer an unparalleled view of this natural phenomenon, whisking you high above the ocean for a truly unforgettable experience.

Want to see this in real life beyond the pictures and stay in luxurious Beachcomber Trou aux Biches property? Well.... I can help you with that! 🌋✨

I have some great deals and offers to stay on this beautiful Island. Please do get in touch.

Having personally travelled a lot around South East Asia it’s a pleasure to write a short post to promote the wonderful Potato Head Resort and Beach Club in Bali.
The motto for the boutique eco-resort is ‘Good Times, Do Good’. The original Potato Head eatery in Jakarta grew into a Bali outpost comprising of a restaurant and beach club and now Desa Potato Head a luxury hotel with sustainability and regeneration at the heart of the business.

The business has recently been awarded B Corp status. They are the first Asian hospitality brand to be carbon neutral. As a brand they have reduced overall waste produced going to landfill from 50% to just 3% since 2017.

Through the ‘Sweet Potato Project’ they focus on regenerative farming and supporting the local population who need sustenance. In the projects first year they harvested 1,800 kilos of food and donated 12,500 -plus meals to the local community. Guests are encouraged to join in with mangrove conservation efforts, rubbish picking with free canoe hire.

Also through there innovative ‘Waste Lab Projects’ they use surplus waste materials from daily operations along side more general waste across Bali to re-imagine and redesign into object and décor used throughout the hotel such as bins and trays made from recycled plastic and food waste such as oyster shells and coconut husks provide biodegradable room slippers for guests!

Sun Siyam Resorts is next to feature in the Journey with Care campaign. The boutique resort of Sun Siyam Iru Veli Maldives in the remote South Nilandhe/Dhaalu Atoll is dedicated to operate as sustainably and responsibly as possible. Natural resources are limited for the local population, but tourism is a vital source of income, so the resort has to operate in both a smart and responsible way. Through the ‘Sun Siyam Cares’ programme they can prioritize sustainability through key iteratives.

Guests can also take part in unique hands-on conservation initiatives, including joining the resort staff in the creation of a new coral reef in the lagoon, collecting damaged coral, and re-planting it on metal frames. This restoration project focuses on resilient coral species and uses proven techniques to encourage the natural recovery process for damaged reefs.

The island has its own desalination and water bottling plant to reverse osmosis and produce freshwater from seawater. They also treat wastewater by storing and distributing treated water for irrigation and watering plants which saves 100 cubic metres of fresh water daily.

The hotel has three local farm islands supplying around 40 varieties of fruit and veg for the resorts. Guests can visit Uddhoo Island to talk with farmers to learn about their unique organic agriculture.

As someone who works in the travel industry I am more than aware of the impact travel and tourism has on the planet. I understand that obviously travel will always have some sort of effect on the planet, however through educating myself and my clients I hope to help people travel more responsibly.

My aim is to ensure that the enduring impact of tourism is a positive one for the planet and its people.

Over the next few days I will be showcasing some travel partners and destinations that I work directly with and I believe go the extra mile in leading the industry to more sustainable and co-operative future.

To kick things off, did you know that I work with hundreds of hotels large and small that have been certified by the Global Sustainability Tourism Council? Well I do!

These hotels are identified on my booking system by a Green Leaf logo. This logo means that the hotel is working to maximise social and economic benefits in the local community, enhance cultural heritage, reduce negative impacts on the environment and to be effectively planning for the future with sustainability in mind. i.e. going beyond not giving you a new towel everyday…

Below are some brief examples of some of the initiatives the Green Leaf hotels are running:
- Beachcomber Resorts use its ‘Beautiful Localhands’ project to help local artisans sell their products to tourists, earning an income and preserving traditional crafts and cultural heritage.
- Attitude Resorts have created its Otentik Discovery app to encourage guests to get out and explore Mauritius through the eyes of a local.
- LUX* Le Morne launched its successful Zero Food Waste Programme in 2019, which focuses on reducing food waste and repurposing unavoidable waste by donating food from the buffet to local school. Leftovers from guests’ plates also go to pig farms or are composted on-site.

So I am a week behind on ‘Race Across World’ but having read about it in the press the remaining teams are now leaving Cambodia and heading into Thailand. What is there to say about Thailand that hasn’t already been said. From its modern and vibrant capital Bangkok (don’t skip it people!) to the truly stunning islands of Koh Chang, Koh Samui, Krabi and Phuket. This beautiful country is the land of adventure, tranquillity and everything in between. And I haven’t even mentioned the delicious cuisine and the extraordinarily friendly Thai people.

Interested in a trip to Thailand? Why not visit this November for 16 nights when the weather is perfect and experience all these incredible places for just £3,300 pp including international and domestic flights and staying at 4/5 * hotel along the way!

✈️ Inspired by the adventures you’ve seen on ‘Race Across the World’?

In the latest episode the teams zoomed through Vietnam which to me is a HUGE mistake! Obviously they want to win the competition as that is the point of the show... BUT Vietnam is a real gem of a country.

The Land of the Blue Dragons (not literally) is steeped in history both ancient and modern. The War Remnants Museum and the Cu Chi Tunnels are both a must visit if you are in Ho Chi Minh and powerful reminder of what the country went through in its recent past. If you are in the Northern city of Hanoi you cannot leave without a visit to the stunning Halong Bay with an overnight stay on a boat and kayaking around the many hidden limestone inlets.

For history buffs, don’t forget to visit Hue, the home of ‘The Imperial City’ the ancient capital of Vietnam. For keen foodies you must visit the beautiful city of Hoi An which many consider the food capital of Vietnam.

This is just the tip of the banh mi baguette in terms of things to see and do in Vietnam.
Get in touch if you would like me to plan a bespoke tour of Vietnam for you using my experience of this beautiful county.
