Itinerary

  • SSR Botanic Garden

    In the historical village of Pamplemousses, you will visit the famous Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, where you will get to see the giant waterlilies and 85 varieties of palm trees from around the world. You will also discover the various spices and medicinal plants and learn about the various endemic and imported plants in the garden.

    2 hours

  • L'aventure Du Sucre

    In Pamplemousses you will also visit L’Aventure du Sucre, the informative museum set in an old sugar factory. There, you will not only discover the history of sugar but also that of Mauritius, the slave trade and rum. You will leave with a new appreciation of the island and its people and get to sample the different varieties of sugar and delicious local rums.

    2 hours

  • Chateau De Labourdonnais

    Discover the Château de Labourdonnais, a beautifully restored colonial mansion built in 1859 and visit their enchanting tropical garden. The tour includes a visit of the château, a walk through the orchard and the bird garden, a viewing of the giant tortoises, as well as a guided tour of their rum distillery on the estate, and free rum tasting at bar. Note: Bring mosquito sprays. Due to the age and value of certain objects found inside the house, flash-photography is not allowed inside the chateau as this could lead to damage.

    2 hours

  • Port Louis

    A tour of the North isn’t complete without a visit to Port-Louis, the capital of Mauritius. The city is a blend of the old and the new. On one side you have the hustle and bustle of the city’s historical market (bazaar), built in 1828, where you can bargain for different spices and souvenirs and sample Mauritian street food. And on the other side you have the modern Caudan Waterfront, where there visitors can shop at brand name stores and eat at various restaurants. You can visit the areas of Port-Louis that interest you such as the Aapravasi Ghat (UNESCO heritage site), and the smaller streets. For great views, your driver will take you for a stop at the Citadel and you will also get to see the Champs de Mars racecourse on the way.

Wonderful way to see a bit of the island

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a great time on this tour from start to finish. We got a text in the morning to let us know when we would be picked up. The driver was so friendly and nice. He told us a lot about the island and some really interesting stories about his family that gave us some insight into life on the island. I really enjoyed the look into the culture and every day life of people there. The car was clean and air-conditioned which was great, and the driver was safe despite some of the crazy driving of others on the road. The stops were great, we really loved the botanical garden and the old plantation house. The rum tastings were great, you get to sample a lot of different types. The trip into Port Louis was short, but that was okay for us. We opted to skip lunch, so we can't speak to what the driver would have recommended.

Pleasant experience

Published on Dec, 2024

You can easily spend 2-3 hours here. If you like nature you will enjoy it here. Lovely to see the giant tortoises. If you are near Grande Baie you can probably get a bus there but we were taken by family

brilliant tour

Published on Nov, 2024

One of the best tours we have done. Our driver San picked us up from the hotel right on time for the North tour of Mauritius. We did not have the best start because the first stop, the Chateau de Labourdonnais, was closed for a function. We therefore stopped a bit longer in Port Louis to walk round the shops and the local market. We then went for some lunch at a very good and reasonably priced local restaurant and on to the Pamplemousses botanic gardens. We stopped at the local sugar museum which by then was closing but we managed to fit in a rum tasting. San was an excellent guide, his English is very good and he told a lot about the island, it's people and his family. There were 4 of us in a fairly new private air-conditioned minibus and an an 8 hour tour cost just £27 each. This tour is recommended, thank you San.

You won’t regret booking

We experienced A fun knowledgeable tour or the North with San. He shared a lot of insights and stories about the island which made it all worth it!

Enjoyable family day

Published on Sep, 2023

We loved the history of each place. Our guide at the Botanic Gardens was very funny. A lot of the history a the Sugar factory was the same, so I would recommended only readying the information in regards to the factory and slavery. We spent extra time at the previous attractions so did not get enough time at the sugar factory but we had made that choice earlier in the day. We really enjoyed going at our own place and we were able to be very flexible.
