Description

Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and history of northern Mauritius on this private guided tour. You will be treated to a special trip by your guide, who is also a fully licensed and professional driver with thorough knowledge of each of the places you will go. There are five featured stops during your trip: Port Louis, the capital city of Mauritius; La Citadelle, a National Monument which rises above Port Louis; The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden in Pamplemousses; The Sugar Factory & Museum; and the Chateau de Labourdonnais. The North Tour is a full-day activity, lasting approximately 8 hours. This tour is completely private. While the above stops are suggested to give you a well-rounded approach to Mauritian northern culture, they by no means encompass every possibility for the tour. You have the final say in deciding where you would like to stop and the duration of your stay. You may even design your own northern tour from the ground up; your driver guide will always be on standby for you. Port Louis is the capital and largest city in Mauritius. It is a bustling commerce center with a wide range of people and sights. Your guide will save you the trouble of parking, as all parking fees are covered for this activity. Once in the city, you’ll have opportunities to sample both local food and fine cuisine. You can also shop both in local markets and at the duty-free boutiques of Le Caudan Waterfront. Or you can just choose to take in the mix of historical and modern architecture. Rising above Port Louis is La Citadelle. From its soaring ramparts, you’ll be treated to a panoramic view of the capital, the bustling harbor, and the volcanic mountains to the south and east. From the city, your guide will conduct you northeast to the town of Pamplemousses, where the SSR Botanical Garden is located. This is a vast garden renowned for its peaceful atmosphere. Stroll on shaded paths under whispering trees, learn about the old ways of making sugar at the Chateau Mon Plaisir, and observe the different species of animals that call the gardens their home. Next, you’ll drive to the Sugar Factory & Museum, a defunct sugar factory-turned-museum, which is also referred to as L’Aventure du Sucre. Sugarcane growth and refinement have had a huge impact in shaping the culture and history of Mauritius. You’ll learn how and why during this stop. You’ll also get an in-depth look at the full process of harvesting sugarcane and turning it into finished products. Try some of the unrefined local sugar types to appreciate the outcome of all this labor; and, for adult guests, take your appreciation further by sampling a variety of local rums.
