Top 10 Walking Tours in Mauritius, Mauritius

March 30, 2022 Stefan Strunk

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.

This river trek is one which includes all the activities you would dream of on a day out in nature. From walking in the woods, climbing slopes, swimming in natural pools, being massaged in jacuzzis, drooling on majestic views and finding hidden treasures of nature, we did it all. Kevin was the right person to guide me throughout this superb trek. His friendly and composed character made the experience even more pleasant, grounding and smooth despite the challenge. This is a must-go place to anyone visiting or living in Mauritius. Thumbs up Horazis for bringing me this unique experience!!

We will also learn of the struggles of this neighbourhood and how it has managed to transform itself to become a hotspot of Chinese heritage, street art and delicious food.
