Mauritius may be a small island, but it has so much to offer. This tour packs in the Pamplemousse Botanical Garden, a visit to the citadel, a panoramic tour of Port Louis and free time at the Caudan Waterfront.

The morning begins with a trip to explore Pamplemousse Botanical Garden, the oldest botanical gardens in the Southern Hemisphere. Here, you can observe more than 600 rare plant species sprouting among the shady palm avenues and lily ponds.

Next, it's on to one of the island's best panoramic viewpoints at 'La Citadelle'. Here, your guide will point out the Champs de Mars racecourse and Port Louis skyline before driving through central Port Louis with views from of Cathedral, Supreme Court and Government House. To finish the tour, we'll enjoy some free time at Caudan Waterfront where you can browse the craft bazaar and the modern boutiques.

Hyvä ja sopivan mittainen kokonaisuus. Järjestelyt toimivat muuten hyvin, mutta retkipäivä muuttui. Tästä tuli TUI:lta kyllä sähköpostilla tieto, mutta tämä ei päivittynyt TUI:n appiin missään vaiheessa ja siten sieltä tuli turhia muistutusviestejä väärällä päivällä (tätä asiaa voisi kehittää).

Wenig Informationen im Botanischen Garten, das Wort Gewürze fiel gar nicht die Beschreibung der Pflanzen wurde eigentlich nur abgelesen. Wir hatten nur 20 Minuten für den traditionellen Markt und wurden dann in ein überteuertes Touristencenter gelenkt. Schade, denn mein Fokus lag auf Land und Leute, nicht auf Prada und Gucci.

Great guide and driver, I think the trip should be renamed as it wasn’t so much about spices but botanical gardens and port Luis were great to see

Pick up never happened as tour cancelled due to not enough people. No cancellation notification received and was sat waiying for an hour while hotel reception sorted out what was happening. This is not good.
