Description

Your day begins with a hotel pick-up by your driver-guide before heading north toward one of Mauritius’ most beloved landmarks — the Red Roof Church at Cap Malheureux. This quaint Roman Catholic church was built in 1938 and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Its bright red roof set against the turquoise sea and deep blue sky makes it one of the island’s most photographed spots. From this northern tip, you’ll enjoy stunning panoramic views of the five northern islets, including Coin de Mire— a breathtaking sight and a perfect photo opportunity. Next, continues to Mont Choisy Beach, a long stretch of powder-white sand bordered by shady Casuarina trees and calm, crystal-clear waters. It’s the perfect place for a leisurely walk, a refreshing swim, or simply relaxing under the trees. Popular among both locals and visitors, Mont Choisy exudes an easygoing island charm that captures the very essence of tropical bliss. From there, you’ll travel inland to explore one of Mauritius’ most elegant heritage sites — the Château de Labourdonnais. This beautifully restored 19th-century colonial mansion offers a captivating glimpse into the island’s rich history and refined French-Mauritian lifestyle. Wander through lush gardens, orchards, and grand halls filled with period furnishings. You’ll enjoy complimentary tastings of fresh fruit juices and artisanal rums, produced on the estate, and discover a range of locally crafted delicacies. Keep an eye out for the giant Aldabra tortoises, peacefully roaming the grounds. After your heritage visit, indulge in a three-course Mauritian lunch at a local restaurant, giving you an authentic taste of local cuisine and hospitality. Following lunch, your adventure continues to Port Louis, the island’s bustling capital city. Begin at the Caudan Waterfront, a lively shopping and leisure complex located along the harbor. Explore the craft market for handmade souvenirs, colorful textiles, and local artwork — ideal keepsakes to take home. Then, step into the lively Central Market of Port Louis, where local life comes alive. Discover a vibrant array of spices, fruits, textiles, and handicrafts, all while soaking in the sights and sounds of this historical marketplace. Don’t miss the chance to sample some of Mauritius’ most famous street foods — from dhal puri and gato piment to alouda, a refreshing local drink made with milk, basil seeds, and jelly. Next, enjoy a scenic drive up to Fort Adelaide, built by the British between 1832 and 1844. Perched 240 feet above sea level, the fortress offers panoramic views over Port Louis, its bustling harbor, and the surrounding mountain range. It’s a place where history and breathtaking scenery meet. Your tour concludes with a leisurely drive through the heart of Port Louis, where you can admire colonial landmarks such as the Government House, Municipal Theatre, and the palm-lined Place d’Armes — a perfect way to end your day immersed in the rich culture, history, and beauty of Mauritius.
