Mauritius Island possesses one of the world’s most magnificent natural wonders: a submerged waterfall. But the question remains: can it truly be classified as a waterfall?

Mauritius Island is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, located approximately 2,000 km off the coast of mainland Africa. It is a world-renowned beach destination, with many impressive landscapes, including the “waterfall under the sea” – a fascinating natural phenomenon.

This natural wonder is located at the southwestern tip of the island. When viewed from afar, especially from an airplane, visitors will see that there is a giant waterfall under the sea

However, this “underwater waterfall” is actually sand from the shore that flows down into deeper waters off the peninsula.

This breathtaking sight is not an illusion, but rather a unique natural phenomenon. Most of the waters around Mauritius Island are around 150 meters deep, but the southern tip has depths of up to 4,000 meters, creating this impressive “waterfall.”

Tourists can climb to the top of Le Morne Brabant, which has an elevation of 556m above sea level, to enjoy a panoramic view of the coastal area.

Besides admiring the waterfall under the sea, visitors can also enjoy various exciting experiences such as diving to see the coral reefs, kayaking, helicopter sightseeing, or indulging in fresh seafood.
