Activity itinerary

Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice de Cap Malheureux
  • 30m
First of all, the driver will come for the hotel pick up and set off to visit the Red Roof Church at Cap Malheureux. One of the most renowned churches in Mauritius is the Notre Dame Auxiliatrice Chapel, a Roman Catholic Church famous for its vivid red roof against the bright turquoise sea and azure sky. The Notre Dame Auxiliatrice Church is famous for its lovely red roof, which attracts many curious passers-by and offers a picturesque background for worthy snapshots. This simple chapel was founded in 1938 and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It is situated ideally at the very northern point of Mauritius, offering breathtaking views of the five northern islets, including Coin de Mire (Gunner’s Quoin).
Mont Choisy Beach
  • 30m
Mont Choisy Beach, located in the north-west of Mauritius, is one of the most popular beaches in Mauritius. It exudes perfect harmony between the sparkling water and the whitish sand. Dotted with Casuarina trees, the beach of Mont Choisy attracts Mauritians and tourists. It is not only one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius but also the longest one,it provides comfort to each and everyone. Vast, with shady areas under the Casuarina trees, family picnics prove to be an excellent idea. Thanks to its clear and warm water, it is absolutely awesome for swimming, sunbathing and diving.
Grand Baie
  • 40m
Underwater Sea Walk: It begins with a motorboat transfer from the beach to a platform inside the lagoon, where you will receive a pre-departure briefing on the gear safety procedures and on the underwater walking trail. Then, with the help of the guide you will go off board into the water to start your underwater walk adventure. Parasailing: Parasailing offers you a breathtaking bird's eye view of the beautiful east coast lagoon and Belle Mare beach. After a safety briefing, you will have a speed boat transfer to the launch platform, where you will be connected with a secured certified harness to the parasail. After safety check, the boat driver will start the engine and gradually accelerate the boat. You will slowly take off from the launch pod for a 3-4 minutes parasail flight above the beautiful lagoon. Tube Ride: Tube Ride is one of the most popular fun water sports activities. You will enjoy a 100% fun activity and an absolutely mind-blowing tub ride on the colourful water tube.
Citadel Fort Adelaide
  • 30m
Then, you'll head to a local restaurant to savour a 3-course Mauritian lunch. Following lunch, continue to the Citadel Fort which is now famous for the 360-degree view of the Capital. Here, you will have a breathtaking view of the Capital and you get it from all angles! You will have views of China Town, Champ de Mars, and mountains all at one place. So pack your things and bring along your camera as panoramic pictures are a must at this spot! The little piece of historical architecture is sure to impress you
Balaclava Public Beach
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Stretching over an area of 485 hectares, the Balaclava Marine Park, is one of the few protected marine parks in Mauritius - the first national marine park since 1997. These warm waters are home to about 430 different marine creatures and almost 200 types of coral Sea lovers will enjoy this trip to the marine park. Sit in your boat and depart for the reefs while feeling the cool day breeze brushing against your skin. Take in the beauty of the surrounding while gazing at the underwater world from the boat. You will then stop in the middle of the marine park and get to snorkel and discover the magical world of the reefs. At an average depth of 5.5 metres, with crystal clear water offering great visibility, the snorkelling conditions are ideal. You will have a great view of the reef, fish and a large selection of corals (there are more than 50 different species of corals at the park!). All these make the glass bottom boat trip at the Marine Park a wondrous experience.
Central Market
  • 1h
Another place to visit is the Port Louis central market – the market is a fun place to visit and the ideal place to find many locally made products, textiles, Mauritian spices, fruits and many souvenirs for very cheap prices. In your free time you can stroll the city streets and see several sightseeing attractions. You must have worked up an appetite with the shopping! Head to the next section of the Central Market where all the street food stalls are found. You will have a wide variety of choices here for the street food and you will surely find something to your taste. We do recommend tasting the dhall puri, made with split chickpea and flour and the famous alouda, almost like a milkshake with basil seeds, grated jam and sometimes a scoop of ice. If you wish to try some of the local snacks, you will find a large choice of samoussas (fritters filled with potatoes), bajas (fritters made with chickpea flour) or gato piment (fritters made with yellow split pea and chilli).
Le Caudan Waterfront
  • 1h
Then drive to the capital, Port Louis, to visit the Caudan Waterfront, which is a shopping and leisure hub located on the waterfront. The craft market in particular is a hive of activity with wonderful ambiance where you are sure to find a lot of souvenirs for the family back home.
Port Louis
  • 30m
Finally, the driver will make you enjoy a visit to Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius. Port Louis is Mauritius' largest city and the economic and administrative centre of the island. Right off the main square you can stroll beside the palm-lined Place d'Armes. You can see some wonderful French colonial buildings, especially the Government House and the Municipal Theatre.
