Sandwiched between the Indian Ocean and a mountain backdrop, Port Louis blends Mauritius modernity and tradition. The Caudan Waterfront entices shoppers with fashion, local crafts and live entertainment. Domaine les Pailles, with its 18th-century ox-driven sugar mill and colonial architecture, houses a new casino. Seek out the capital city's vast Bazaar, built in 1828, for spices, souvenirs and a lunch of fried noodles. For great views, hike the pedestrians-only road up Signal Mountain.

The first section of the hike travels through the forest of the mountain, allowing you to enjoy a nice meditative walk for 600 meters in the midst of indigenous plants and trees. The hike then continues to a section where you can enjoy magnificent views towards Port Louis and other peaks of the Moka range. Following 700 meters you will reach the shoulder of the mountain, at an altitude of 736 meters. This section is basically a large slightly inclined grassy land, providing amazing views towards the south and northeastern part of Mauritius. The hike continues to the peak. The last part towards the summit requires some rock scrambling. Once you arrive to the summit, be rewarded with an incredible 360-degree panoramic view. Whilst on the summit you are given enough time to relax and receive more information about your surroundings. Make your way back to the meeting point with your professional mountaineer ensuring your security the entire way.

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!!

This food tour is the perfect option for those who want to experience the local Port Louis life as well as go deeper into China Town, discovering its rich culture, its vivid street art, and fusional flavours. We will first visit Port Louis, taste its delicious street food, meet those that prepare it, and learn the history of the capital city of Mauritius. We will then enter the gates of China Town and feel like we're somewhere else. We will enjoy all the Mauritian street food classics like dholl puris or "boulettes", then we will also relish on some Chinese specialties with a Mauritian twist. 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. The revival of China Town is inspiring ; it brought families together and restored the sense of community.

Eric took us to meet Anjoo in her lovely welcoming house where we participated in cooking a wonderful array of dishes using local produce - a lot of it from her garden. We got really hands on, using the traditional roche karai to grind spices & make pastes, we made traditional bread. It was THE most fantastic experience & it culminated in a most delicious lunch that we shared together. We would thoroughly recommend Eric’s company. If we come back we will definitely do more tours with him. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history & customs of the Island. Julie & Amir

We highly recommended Ridwaan for his excellent, punctual and efficient service. We used his services three times. It began with a personal wattsap introduction of himself after booking. Very friendly and courteous welcome. Informative interaction and the best value for budget conscious travelers. Thank you Ridwaan, you are a star.

Not sure what to say as we hit Mauritius just as CV19 did and despite being told otherwise by our Captain, we were unable to dock twice We just managed to communicate with Ridwaan and he adjusted his plans so that if we were able to dock two days later than planned, he would be there to meet us, which was very much appreciated. Unfortunately, by this time, Mauritius had closed their borders to all ships. We let Ridwaan know and even though we did not ask, he organised a full refund for us. Therefore, should we be allowed to travel ever again and eventually get to Mauritius, we will definitely use his service. Great service although not the one we were expecting.
