Begin your 8 hours North tour with a complimentary hotel pick-up at your accommodation anywhere on the paradise Island. You will meet and be greeted by our certified guide and after boarding to your comfortable vehicle, then set off for your first stop.

You'll be heading to Cap-Malheureux, a small village in the island’s far north, to visit the attractive red-roofed Church which offers a splendid view over Gunner’s Quoin and the northern islands. The beach behind allows you to soak up the sun and enjoy the view, while the kids can play in the white sand and discover aquatic life in the rock pools. Fishermen are also frequently docking, with a fresh catch.

Ensuite, rendez-vous au Jardin botanique national de l'île Maurice, qui abrite une incroyable variété de plantes tropicales, dont beaucoup sont indigènes. Le Jardin botanique, anciennement connu sous le nom de Jardin botanique Sir Seewoosagur, est l'une des attractions les plus visitées de l'île Maurice. Il est situé à proximité de Port-Louis, dans le district de Pamplemousse. Le Jardin de Pamplemousses est le plus ancien jardin botanique de l'hémisphère sud, célèbre pour son long bassin de nénuphars géants et ses 500 plantes exotiques rares.

Vous vous rendrez ensuite dans un restaurant local pour savourer un déjeuner mauricien composé de trois plats. Après le déjeuner, continuez vers la Citadelle, désormais célèbre pour sa vue à 360 degrés sur la capitale. De là, vous profiterez d'une vue imprenable sur la capitale, et ce, sous tous les angles ! Vous aurez une vue imprenable sur China Town, le Champ-de-Mars et les montagnes, le tout réuni au même endroit. Alors, préparez vos affaires et n'oubliez pas votre appareil photo : les photos panoramiques sont un incontournable ! Ce petit joyau architectural historique vous impressionnera à coup sûr.

Afterward, you'll head to visit The Aapravasi Ghat which is a World Heritage Site located on the Bay of Trou Fanfaron in Port Louis. This historical site served as an immigration depot by the colonial British government in 1849. It has played a pivotal role in the Mauritian history, as it is from this very instance that the Mauritian population became more diverse than ever. It was here that indentured laborers transited before starting a new life on the island or set off to other distant lands. Between 1834 and 1920, about half a million immigrants, mainly from India, some from China, Madagascar or Africa, began working on the various sugar plantations across the island.

After a few minutes later, you'll head to Le Caudan waterfront which has been the first major shopping development on the island of Mauritius and still is able to keep up with the trends and retain its charm as a modern waterfront mall. You will have the opportunity to stroll around and take great pictures of the umbrella alley and see the panoramic view of the port Louis harbour.

Then, continue to the craft market. Everyone wants to bring back home a small piece of Mauritius and we understand why! The Craft Market, located at Caudan, will surely help you in finding your piece of Mauritius. Based on a two-storey building within the Caudan Waterfront complex, The Craft Market is known for its unique craft collection. With 36 stalls, visitors will get a wide variety of products ranging from exquisite woodwork to detailed baskets without forgetting beautiful glass souvenirs. You will also find items made from seashells, boxes of ground spics, embroidered linen, handmade jewelry, and the very famous African rag doll dressed in a typical sega outfit. Many of the handicrafts are made by the stalls owners, their families, or sourced from their villages, so you will get the chance of meeting the artists behind the paintings on sale or even witness your name being engraved on a wooden keychain. The location of The Craft Market is definitely one of the best as well.

Then, head to the local market. We know that you will probably never be fed up with beaches but a visit to the Central Market located in Port Louis is a must for anyone visiting Mauritius. Here at the bustling Central Market, you will find shops that fit all your needs, ready-made garments, spices, jewelry, watches, shoes, crafts amongst others. We do recommend tasting the dhal 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 samosas, bajas (fritters made with chickpea flour) or gato piment (fritters made with yellow split pea and chilli). The Central Market remains busy as it is one of the main shopping spots for locals and attracts people across the island for shopping. It is definitely worth a visit for you to learn more about how locals live and experience the Mauritian vibe.

It is without any doubts that Mauritius is home to many beautiful beaches and diverse fauna and flora, but did you know that it is also home to the oldest racecourse in the Southern Hemisphere? It is home to the Champs de Mars which is located in the capital, Port Louis. Should you wish to visit during weekdays to just enjoy the quietness and enjoy the infrastructure; you will surely be able to see the race track from the outside and get a feel of this place. Next, we will passby china town to see the culture of the sino-Mauritian which is very interesting, especially the shops, wall art and the decoration is very unique in Mauritius. After a long day at exploring, your North full-day tour ends with return transport to your hotel.
