Port Louis & Northern Mauritius Full Day Guided Tour

1. Port Louis & Northern Mauritius Full Day Guided Tour

Spend the first part of the day exploring the capital city of Mauritius, Port Louis. Climb up to Fort Adelaide, known as 'The Citadel', a 19th-century military fortress which features a walled courtyard and panoramic city views. Then head into the central market, the Grand Port Louise Bazaar & China Town for a stroll around. Marvel at the impressive array of clothing, local vegetables, and exotic spices. Continue your shopping excursion at the splendid Caudan Waterfront. In the afternoon, pay a visit to the beautiful gardens at the Grapefruit Botanical Paradise. Then continue along the northwest coast via the Tamil Temple, Choisy Beach, and Grand Baie. Make a stop at Cap Malheureux, a village located in the Rivière du Rempart District to see The Palatial Red Church, a Roman Catholic Church famous for its vivid red roof against the bright turquoise sea and azure sky. Opt to pop into L'Aventure Du Sucre or the Sugar Factory Museum, where you can discover the history of sugar production in Mauritius and taste local products. Or perhaps make a stop at the majestic Chateau de Labourdonnais, one of the most beautiful colonial houses of the island inspired by Italian neo-classical architecture. Lunch fees are not included in the tour, however, your driver will provide you with a variety of restaurant suggestions according to your tastes. Feel free to request a stopover at any other restaurant of your choice at any point during the day.

I had booked several tours in Mauritius through Get your Guide. I also chose the private tour for this excursion and my driver Paw, with whom I had already done the Southwest Tour, also came to this excursion. He gave me a good tour of the bustling Port Louis market. Let me try local drinks and always responded to my individual wishes. The botanical garden was also very nice. I will look at it again at a different time of the year because in February there are less colorful flowers to be seen due to the high temperatures. It wasn't the heyday, but there was still a lot to see.

The tour was very interesting and we would definitely recommend it when you want to discover the north of Mauritius. Our guide Nishal was very friendly, was a good driver and had some interesting things to tell us about Mauritius.

Guide/driver was on time Very courteous and patient We didn't agree in whether the mansion was included in the itinerary but he took me there anyway. Excellent service overall

it was a super nice driver who told us a lot about the island! The individual hotspots were super interesting and varied!

The excursion was great! We can recommend him without reservation.
