Chamarel: 7-Colored Earth Geopark Entrance Ticket with Lunch

2. Chamarel: 7-Colored Earth Geopark Entrance Ticket with Lunch

Combine two Chamarel classics in this single experience. See the 7-Colored Earth Geopark and admire Mauritius's tallest waterfall, then sample delicious creole cuisine at Le Chamarel Restaurant. On that road trip, stop by Le Chamarel Restaurant to taste the 12 flavours of authentic cuisine that will take you on a culinary voyage, reflecting the origins of the multiple ethnicities present in Mauritius. At the same time, visit the iconic Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth Geopark, where you will stop by the Chamarel Waterfalls - the highest in Mauritius. You can opt to do either activity in the order of your choice but keep in mind that lunch is served at Le Chamarel Restaurant as from 11.30 am to 2.30pm. This activity can be done all year round and any day of the week depending on availability. This activity needs to be done by a mode of transportation as there is approximately 5-10mins from the 7 Coloured Earth to the Le Chamarel Restaurant.

Port Louis: Private Guided Sightseeing Tour

This excursion will introduce you to the city of Port Louis, founded in 1735 by Mahe de Labourdonnais, where you will visit the historic Fort Adelaide also known as the Citadel. Built by the English in 1835 and is one of the few fortifications of British origin remaining on the island. From here, you'll enjoy a view stretching over almost the entire city. Your next stop will be a visit to the central market (also known as the bazaar). Here you will be amazed by the variety of products you will find - fruits, vegetables, scent sticks, spices, pashmina, and linen are amongst the most sold products.

What people are saying about Black River

Absolutely fantastic trip. Our guide was so knowledgeable and explained everything through the trip. We all felt very safe being guided through the markets and loved seeing the sights of Port Louis. There were 7 of us travelling as a family a family and our guide look lots of photos of us all together. At the botanical gardens, our guide knew everything about all the plants and we had a great time learning about the palms and smelling all the spice plants. He was great with our youngest child and made him feel very special. The vehicle was comfortable and the driving great. The communication from Carine when arranging the trips was so informative and reliable that we used this company to book another 2 trips after we arrived. Thank you

An unforgettable experience! Just after a few meters of sailing we saw 2 dolphins and 3 whales! Then we sailed in the open sea and we saw many dolphins and whoever wanted could dive into the water and admire the wonderful creatures, all in absolute safety. The dolphins don't come towards you, so you have to swim fast to keep up with them, I recommend bringing the necessary equipment (mask and tube) because the boat didn't have many to lend, for those who have them I also recommend bringing fins (in negative case on the boat they have some available). For lunch they delighted us with a barbecue on the beach. Highly recommended experience!

Hotel pickup was on time. After a few minutes we saw dolphins. It is exhausting to keep up with the dolphins, so you should be able to swim well. Just seeing the dolphins from the boat was amazing. The coconut island was beautiful and the barbecue was really delicious. Suddenly a whale jumped up on our boat. That made this perfect day even better! We were able to watch the whale for at least half an hour and he even had a baby with him. Breathtaking experience!

Maravillosa experiencia para nadar con delfines. La recogida en el hotel muy puntual y el transfer al hotel fantástico. La barbacoa es de 5 estrellas, en una isla de ensueño. Vistas y experiencias muy recomendables. La pena que como españoles nadie hablaba nuestro idioma, pero con el inglés nos entendíamos.

Very very good experience, the locals we were with were great And the final surprise (with luck of course) the whales ❤️
