Detailed itinerary

1

Get ready to explore the most amazing sites in the north of the island. 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

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).

2

Then, head to Pamplemousse village where you will enjoy a 2 hour quad bike in the nature to Anse La raie. you will be discovering the wild north of the island in a fun way. Nature Lovers will be completely taken aback by the panoramic views overlooking the coastline, sugar cane field and nature reserve.

ou will drive around The Vale, Calodyne, St François, Anse La Raie, and Daruty Forest where you could take memorable pictures before returning back to the Domaine.

Experience an adrenaline rush in an adventurous Quad biking activity in the most amazing natural setting!

3

After the quad activities, you will head to a local restaurant to savor a 3-course Mauritian lunch. You will have a choice and the chef will explain to you and ask you about your preferred choice.

4

Then drive to Fort Adelaide (also known as La Citadelle) which was built in a very strategic location on higher lands of Port Louis at 240 feet above sea level. The construction of Fort Adelaide started in 1832 and completed after almost ten years. Fort Adelaide offers a vast panoramic views of Port-Louis and its harbour. The British built this fortress in fear of a civil war from the remaining French settlers on the island and also for the purpose of guarding the harbor against enemy attacks. A ride uphill to Fort Adelaide, guarantees breathtaking views of Port Louis and of the mountain range surrounding Port Louis.

5

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 jelly 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).

6

travel 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.

7

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 center 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 Theater.
