Top 10 Day Trips from in Mauritius, Mauritius

August 23, 2021 Malia Yoakum

Mauritius is arguably Africa’s wealthiest destination, a tropical paradise with tons to do. Port Louis, the modern capital of this 38-mile by 29-mile island, is a bustling port with a revitalized waterfront and a busy market. But most visitors gravitate toward resort areas such as Mont Choisy, quiet Trou-aux-Biches and the more bustling Flic en Flac, popular with scuba divers. Rivière Noire is ideal for those looking for great deep-sea fishing.

I would have given this a 5 star rating just for the trip experience, but I unfortunately experienced sexist and rude comments from the staff there. Maybe it was because I am a mauritian and not a foreigner. According to the quad biking staff, women do not know how to drive. "Si ena ene ti garson devant ou, ou koner ou krk, mais si ena ene tifi devant, li kav zis arete ene kout ek lerla ou kav taper, paski banla pa koner zot" - these are the words of one particular staff. Instructions are also rushed, and if you missed something, they tell you that you were not listening. It's such a great activity, so it's a shame that some of us had to face these comments.

We booked our speedboat cruise with Island Cove Mauritius to Île aux Cerfs for our friend's birthday. Well worth the money! Great crew, nice boat, and despite being Winter in Mauritius we even saw the sunset. Professional service and organisation by Island Cove Mauritius. Highly recommended for organising all your trips in Mauritius - though be careful not to drink too much of the crew's Rum Punch!! :)

From the punctual pick up to the smart clean and comfortable car it promised to be a good day and didn’t disappoint. Our guide was excellent - engaging and informative. Having someone who can describe the different plants and flowers and palms brings the botanical gardens to life. And then having a guide to take you through the markets of Port Louis cuts out a whole lot of random wandering about. Our guide was very knowledgable, kind and flexible. We really felt like we had got to know Mauritius and it’s people by the end of the tour. A great day out.
