Your Morning's Itinerary
Step Into The Lush, Botanical World Of Pamplemousses Gardens
Our day of Mauritian culture and history begins with a morning pick up at your hotel lobby. Then we’ll begin our short drive to the district of Pamplemousses (meaning grapefruits in French!) located in the North West of the island, just above Port Louis.
Our first stop will be Sir Seewoosagur Botanical Gardens which date back to 1770, making them the oldest botanical gardens in the Southern hemisphere. Boasting a fantastic and extensive range of plant species like the giant Victoria Amazonica water lily, 80 different types of palm, as well as native spices and medicinal plants- it really is a treat for plant enthusiasts or indeed anyone with an appreciation for nature! Take as much time as you like to stroll through the gardens and enjoy the lush views, the many fragrances and countless blooms that surround you. Look out for the beautiful trees planted by world leaders and royalty including Princess Margaret, Francois Mitterand and Indira Gandhi!
The Afternoon Awaits...
Discover The Rich (and Sweet!) History Of This Remarkable Island
Continuing on our journey of Mauritian discovery, our next stop will be to L’Aventure du Sucre on the Beau Plan Estate; a former sugar cane factory lovingly restored into a wonderful museum that illustrates how this simple ingredient, which was once more sought after than gold, played a major role in Mauritian history and industry. You’ll get a chance to see the original factory machines and equipment, engaging exhibits and of course taste a range of fantastic local produce from the island including twelve different types of natural sugar, tropical jams, rum, and local sweets.
The estate also houses a delightful restaurant where we’ll have lunch and enjoy the views from its veranda overlooking the tropical countryside. You can expect to enjoy a meal bursting with island flavours and a special mix of Mauritian spices. For those with a sweet tooth, the restaurant also offers an incredible selection of desserts, including their famous crème brûlée with fresh vanilla.
After lunch we’ll pass by the boutique gift shop where you can sample and purchase a wonderful array of sugar products like infused rum, local candies and other sugar delicacies.
After a fun and informative trip, your guide will drive you back to your hotel, leaving you to enjoy the rest of the afternoon as you please.
See What Our Clients Say
We visited a beautiful restaurant called Domaine Anna which gave us a wonderful feel for what Mauritius can offer, with the traditional Sega dance and live music.
Our visit to Caudan Waterfront was really picturesque with many places to buy your souvenirs in their own craft market.
The Blue Penny museum is a must as it is famous for its Blue Penny Stamp.
We had a 3 day stopover in Mauritius on our way to South Africa. We were welcomed by the chaffeur on our arrival at the airport after our long journey from Sydney. We had booked the shandrani hotel which was a 10 minute drive from the airport. We also booked the services of maurigold tours for the reverse airport transfer. Fantastic and reliable service. We would use them again.
It was a great experience. We had the opportunity to visit this Domain with its Château and picturesque and romantic scenery…beautiful moment. It was an opportunity for us to enjoy local food, lovely. The gâteau Piments and ti-pouri during our safari drive were a delight. We also enjoyed our overnight stay at the Chazal camping tent and gave some fun with its zipline. It was really a very special time for us.
Mauritius has the most beautiful and challenging golf courses, in particular Mont Choisy, which every golf enthusiast would find a challenge.
With the help of Maurigold Tours we were able to get around very easily incorporating nature activities and other gold courses around the island.
Je suis extrêmement reconnaissante auprès de Mildred, la directrice de MauriGold Tours. J’avais initialement prévue de faire un séjour d’un mois avec ma soeur, mais on est resté 3 mois au bout du compte à cause du confinement. Mes vacances se sont bien passées à Pereybere selon le programme au tout début. Avec le confinement’confinement’ on a du annuler la deuxième partie de notre séjour dans l’est sans frais d’annulation. Avec l’aide de Mildred, on a pu trouver un logement convenable à court terme à Pereybere. Je remercie toute l’équipe de MauriGold pour leur assistance pendant la période du confinement et d’avoir pu nous aider à trouver un vol pour rentrer à Paris. On retournera sans doute quand la situation retournera à la normale.
Je suis une inconditionnelle de l île Maurice et pour cela, avec mon mari ,nous nous décidâmes , début février 2020, de découvrir l île Rodrigues. Nous avons consulté notre agence Mauri Gold Tours qui nous organisé un circuit de trois nuits ,taillé sur mesure, dont nous fûmes enchantés !!!
En effet,nous avons pu bénéficier d une excursion sur l ‘île aux cocos et d une visite guidée à la réserve François Legnat où la végétation endémique nous subjugua. Nous pûmes également admirer les tortues géantes vivant dans ce paradis préservé. Nous gardons un souvenir mémorable de l ‘accueil chaleureux et authentique des Rodriguais. Notre séjour se termina dans le cadre idyllique de l hôtel Royal Palm à Maurice où nous avons pu jouir de toutes les prestations de ce lieu luxueux et emblématique. Un grand merci à toute l’ équipe de Mauri Gold Tours pour la programmation de ce circuit dans les deux îles enchanteresses!!!!!!
