MAURITIUS, AN EXCITING ISLAND
Flic en Flac is an ideal starting point to explore the whole island. By direct busses, you reach the capital, Port Louis, ‘India light’ and Quatre Bornes with its big cloth market. From these bus stations, you can join nearly all destinations. But be prepared for adventurous bus rides!
With our driver and guide of the NILAYA, Shyam, you discover all the ‘musts’ of Mauritius, as:
The Wild South with the seven coloured earth in Chamarel, the National Park of Rivière Noire, the sacred lake, the Reserve Vanille, Grisgris, the mythical Morne
The romantic East with the incredible white powdered sand beaches of Ile aux Cerfs. I’ll tell you how to avoid the big visitors’ masses.
Nature pure in the South-East with the Coral Garden of Blue Bay and the Aigrettes Island
The North with its beautiful beaches, the Garden of Pamplemousses, the Labourdonnais colonial house, the Tamil temple, the seamen’s cemetery and the church on the beach of Cap Malheureux
Cultural Mauritius with the Penny Museum, National History Museum with the new Dodo section and Shell Museum in Port Louis, Sugar Museum in Pamplemousses and the Historical Museum in Mahébourg.
And as Mauritius is surrounded by small islands, don’t miss the Benitiers Island with its dolphins with the boat of Kissen, Flat Island with the sailing boat Babacool or the boat of La Mouette and the islands before Mahebourg and the Coral Garden of Blue Bay with the redesigned fisherman’s boat Totoff. The lagoon is turquoise and the picnic is delicious.
And for all those who would like to explore the amazing nature and mountains of Mauritius, there is canyoning, mountain climbing, Tyrolienne, swimming in canons or simply walking in the National Parc.
We give you all the information about local festivals, like fire walking, pilgrimages on Maha Shivatree or to Père Laval and multicoloured weddings, and of course the information how to attend.
I would be happy to organise all that and much more, depending on your personal interests.
