THANKSGIVING IN MAURITIUS & SEYCHELLES
Sat, Nov 21, 8:00 PM[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!

Take the train to LA: Urban Hike in Pasadena
Sun, Nov 15, 5:21 PMPart 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 We'll break for an early lunch at Colorado Blvd. There are tons of restaurants in the area. My thought is we find a good meeting point, then everyone can find what they want to eat, and we'll agree on a meeting time after lunch. Check out the list below (or find something else close) and try to decide where you'll be going before the event. https://locations.doghaus.com/locations/ca/pasadena/93-east-green-street; https://www.truefoodkitchen.com/locations/pasadena/; https://www.satoramenhouse.com/; https://noodlestusa.com/menu/; https://kingtaco.com/menu/; https://locations.thecheesecakefactory.com/ca/pasadena-18.html; https://www.mamalutogo.com/; https://paninikabobgrill.com/locations/pasadena/; https://barneysbeanery.com/ After we meet back up, we'll walk down and return back on Colorado Blvd.
