THANKSGIVING IN MAURITIUS & SEYCHELLES

Sat, Nov 21, 8:00 PM

From 1000 Treks Fun and Travel Community

4.8

[CLICK HERE FOR ALL THE DETAILS AND TO RSVP](https://1000treks.com/trip/thanksgiving-in-mauritius-and-seychelles/) All right, I decided to go all out and go crazy on this one (as I often do!) and make this another insanely amazing trip. Initially, we were going to Seychelles only, and that alone would have been phenomenal, but since it’s a long flight and we will be in the Western Indian Ocean, I decided to make this a legendary trip: we are going to start with Mauritius, which is easier to get to, and then go to Seychelles afterward. It will be a little longer than our usual one-week Thanksgiving trips (and you can keep it to one week if you need to), but it will be 1000% worth it! As always for our Thanksgiving trips, we will have a scuba group that will scuba dive every day, and a non-scuba group that will have activities every day. **HIGHLIGHTS** * See the [Underwater Waterfall](https://tinyurl.com/45jpdddv), the newest natural wonder that is blowing people’s minds. A jaw-dropping sight that apparently can’t be seen anywhere else in the world. * [Swim with dolphins in the wild](https://youtu.be/LXDgjZbNjvk?si=Ur72G-Gxht7mK5Xa&t=10). Yup, you read this correctly! We are not going to just see them, but jump in the water and swim with free dolphins in their natural habitat! * [Snorkel and scuba dive](https://www.instagram.com/p/DKr7eFKsUQD/) in some of the most beautiful locations in the world. * Go on an [ATV safari](https://youtu.be/W2_dh0qS5sQ?si=IagY5N4GEIqotnga&t=33)! Yup, you read that correctly too! * Hike [Le Morne Brabant](https://www.instagram.com/p/DJjaEHrsBzy/), where we will have one of the most beautiful views of the Indian Ocean from the top, including the Underwater Waterfall * Hike to [stunning waterfalls](https://www.instagram.com/p/DFXaB-gOlRy/?hl=en). * Go on a [breathtaking catamaran day trip](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVqVWNpjKro/?hl=en). * Not only horseback ride on the beach, but [horseback riding in the water](https://www.instagram.com/reels/DFSN6P6gjJG/)! * Have a special Thanksgiving [Sega show and Creole dinner](https://www.instagram.com/p/CyqPe6kRAqo/). * And obviously, our super cool and super fun activities: – [Ziplining through waterfalls](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2jzLE_y3uk/) – [Kayaking through mangroves](https://www.instagram.com/p/DWjrLHvAnKX/) – [Paddle boarding](https://www.instagram.com/p/DMf8B-zo_Zi/) – [Waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing](https://www.instagram.com/p/C_lM5UaIFbH/) – [Kitesurfing](https://youtu.be/K9HOX6wl_xo?si=5SoLN3MBz7Pz3Idj&t=10). Mauritius is one of the best kitesurfing locations in the world! And you can take classes. – [Surfing](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8mr2ccI9kH/) – Pretty much all the fun stuff you can think of!

Sun, Nov 15, 5:21 PM

From Sunrise to Sunset Hikers

4.9

Part of Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena will be closed to traffic on Sunday, November 15, 2026 from 9AM to 3PM, so people can ride bikes on the streets. With no cars, it's the perfect time to walk Colorado Boulevard (no more than 5 miles roundtrip) and do some extra sightseeing. (lunch break TBD) https://ciclavia.org/events/pasadena-2026-11/ To get there, we can take the Metrolink train 661 from OC to LA Union Station: 1661 leaves Irvine 9:21AM: https://metrolinktrains.com/schedules/?type=station&originId=140&destinationId=107&weekend=4 Or get on the 1661 at Tustin at 9:28AM, or Santa Ana at 9:35AM, or in Anaheim at 9:45AM, or at Fullerton at 9:53AM, or at Buena Park at 9:58AM. There are lots more places to catch this train. The train only costs $12 on the weekend: https://metrolinktrains.com/ticketsOverview/discounts/metrolink-$12-weekends/ Visit a Metrolink station with weekend service. Use the ticket machines and select "SoCal Day Pass" on the home screen\*. You also may buy tickets with our mobile app on the day of travel. Don't worry about meeting up on the train, although I'm sure you'll recognize people in any car you get into. We'll arrive at Union Station at 10:34, then we'll all meet up at Starbucks (next to Wetzel's Pretzels) - and this is a good bathroom break spot). Here's a map of Union Station: https://www.unionstationla.com/visit/ After a restroom break and giving time for people to gather together, we'll transfer to the Blue (or A) line, for a 24 minute ride to Memorial Park in Pasadena. https://cdn.beta.metro.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/11104336/801_TT_06-07-26-1.pdf

And while 15,000 or 20,000 steps would be great, they also require more time. So to make it fun and manageable, we’re starting with 10k steps as a challenge—and we may increase the goal in future events. **THE IMPORTANT POINTS ARE THESE;** Space is limited, so **please RSVP only if you’re 100% sure you’ll attend.** 🙏🏾If you RSVP and don’t show, you will be 🚩Red Flagged 🚩for future events—we all appreciate reliability and respect for others' abilities to get a spot to walk!🙏🏾 Expect to hit somewhere between **10,000–12,000 steps (approximately 7.5-9 miles),** depending on the pace and group.

See You There** [COMMENT BELOW IF YOU ARE IN AGREEMENT] **NOW IS THE TIME, LET’S GET TO WALKING** Btw. Yes, Lacy Park allows dogs. However, they must be on a leash and it will be your own responsibility. No running involved. Just a casual, social walk. Bring water if you need it. **Free street parking is available in the surrounding areas. Please avoid parking inside the park lot, as the gates may close before we finish our walk.** **Park closes at dusk so I strongly advise against parking inside any of the lots. Just drive around, and you can easily find free open parking spaces.** **Lacy Park is located at 1485 Virginia Road, San Marino, CA 91108**
