Description

After collecting you from your hotel at the indicated time, we'll head for Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius. Established as a secure port by the French colonies in the 17th century, today it's a commercial centre and the most important harbour in the region. We'll pass along the streets of Port Louis and browse Central Market, a traditional commercial space with all kinds of aromas and colours.

Our next stop, Caudan Waterfront, is a small peninsula on the bay which has become the commercial centre of Port Louis. The pretty buildings, such as the old meteorological observatory or port offices, are today home to select restaurants and shops.

Our guide will take you to Chinatown, in the centre of Port Louis. As you travel through the traditional ‘friendship gate’, you'll travel to the Far East, passing pagodas and small restaurants. We'll also visit Fort Adelaide, the colonial citadel of black stone that still dominates the city today. Afterward, you'll have free time to have a relaxing lunch.

We leave Port Louis behind and head to the Botanical Gardens in Pamplemousses which date back more than 200 years. There you can admire the famous giant water lilies at your own pace. On the day of the activity, you can opt to enhance your experience and add on a visit to an old sugar factory, which has now transformed into an ancient sugar museum call “L’Aventure du Sucre” (The Sugar Adventure).

This 1774 hacienda that only opened to the public a few years ago. There, you'll see its sugar cane plantation and fruit gardens. Products from these fields are used to make jams and sweets in the hacienda. We tour its restored halls - specimens of a lavish colonial pastand you'll sample the delicious rum, juice, and jams.

The tour ends back at your hotel, where we'll arrive 8 hours after the initial pickup.
