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.

Your Morning's Itinerary
Discover the Island From A New Perspective
This scenic and cultural tour begins with a pick up from your hotel lobby where your guide and driver will greet you and show you to your transport for the day.
Taking the scenic route to discover the island’s hidden gems, we’ll make our way towards the rural village of Les Mariannes, home of the Mauritian Pineapple! Here we can make a stop at one of the many pineapple farms to learn about its cultivation from local experts. We guarantee it’ll be the freshest and sweetest you’ve ever had!
Our picturesque route will take us along the north coast where we can view one of Mauritius’ most iconic natural landmarks; Coin de Mire Island. The striking angular formation of the island against the turquoise blue ocean is truly a sight to behold! We’ll also pass by La Nicoliere Reservoir, a pristine lake surrounded by tree-filled hillsides which offer fantastic viewpoints of the surrounding sugar fields and mountains. We’ll pass through traditional villages, catching glimpses of daily life and of course get to experience more fabulous views, including Cap Malheureux (famous for its charming red roof chapel), and the stunning white sand beaches of the Pereybere & Grand Baie coastline.
The Afternoon Awaits...
Step Back In Time And Explore The Beauty Of The Historic Château
After taking in the countless views and sights of our morning scenic tour, we will make our way to Château de Labourdonnais, a former sugar plantation. This magnificent colonial building sits proudly atop an oak lined avenue in the heart of a 540 hector estate.
Firstly we’ll enjoy a luxury lunch served in the estate restaurant while overlooking the lovingly tended gardens and the main house- the perfect way to relax after our busy morning.
After lunch we’ll begin our tour of the estate starting with the main house which has been perfectly restored to its former glory, inside and out. We’ll also tour the estate grounds which include its fabulous gardens and tropical fruit orchards brimming with dragon fruit and sweet mangos. To round the tour off, we can enjoy some premium rum tasting and sample dried fruits (grown and produced on the estate), then visit the gift shop for any desired purchases. The entire estate offers a fantastic insight into island history from the 19th century and the once lavish lifestyle of the plantation owners.
When we’re ready, we will begin our journey back to your hotel where we will drop you off and leave you to enjoy the rest of your afternoon.

We are extremely grateful for the help and assistance that maurigold tours gave us to achieve our dream wedding.
Their experience and attention to detail made our special day and vacation memorable,leaving us with a feeling of gratitude and excitement for our next return.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
