Port Louis is the vibrant capital of Mauritius, where French colonial architecture, Chinese temples, Indian markets and modern waterfront dining all sit side by side. This private city tour is the best way to experience the cultural heart of the island.
In one day you move from a world-class museum of Mauritian history, to one of the oldest botanical gardens in the southern hemisphere, to the noise and colour of a capital city market, to a seafront waterfront complex, to a hilltop fort with panoramic views over the entire city.
The Central Market is one of the most atmospheric places in the Indian Ocean — spices, fabrics, fresh produce, street food and local crafts under a covered labyrinth of stalls. A short walk leads to Chinatown, with its ornate entrance gate, traditional temple and family-run restaurants. The Caudan Waterfront follows: a renovated harbour complex with cafes, shops and open water views.
World-class museum in the restored 19th-century Beau Plan sugar factory. Tells the complete story of Mauritian sugar and society. Includes sugar and rum tasting.
One of the oldest tropical gardens in the southern hemisphere. Giant Amazonian water lilies, talipot palms and rare tropical species across landscaped grounds.
The British-built citadel on a hilltop above the capital. 360-degree views over Port Louis, the harbour, mountain ranges and the coast — the best vantage point in Mauritius.
Lunch at a local restaurant in or around the market. Try dholl puri, samosas, gateaux piments, alouda and fresh tropical fruit.
Your private driver collects you for the drive north through the central plateau.
Explore the restored 19th-century Beau Plan sugar factory, now a world-class museum charting Mauritius's sugar heritage, demography and colonial history. Includes a guided tasting of locally produced agricole-style rums.
One of the oldest tropical botanical gardens in the southern hemisphere, established in 1770. Best known for its pond of giant Amazonian water lilies and talipot palms that flower only once in a lifetime.
The heart of the capital. Browse the covered Central Market with spices, crafts and street food. Walk through Chinatown's ornate gate and family-run shops. Lunch at a local restaurant — the best place in Mauritius to try authentic Mauritian street food.
A renovated harbour complex with open-air cafes, shops and harbour views. A striking contrast to the market — modern, international, with cruise terminals and sailing boats moored at the quayside.
The British-built citadel on a hilltop above the capital. The 360-degree views from the ramparts take in the entire city, the harbour, the mountain ranges of the interior and the coast beyond.
