I suggest starting with a visit to The Aapravasi Ghat, a historical site located on the Bay of Trou Fanfaron in Port Louis and while in Port Louis, stop by the Botanical Garden. Continue your day by watching the traditional glass-blowing process and visit the sugar mill, which has been converted into a museum.

Next, make your way to a rum tasting adventure where you have the opportunity to choose between 3 tastings: master in-depth discovery, chocolate pairings, or an inspiring cocktail pairing. After, you ought to visit the “Domaine des Aubineaux” museum for an in-depth history of Mauritian Tea, which includes a diversity of exotic plants and traditional tea plantations. There is even an exhibit on antique furniture from the world famous “Compagnie des Indes”. 

The aquarium in the North West of Mauritius is enticing. It has over 200 species of fishes, invertebrates, live coral and sponges. There you can meet the Crown Squirrelfish, the Devil Firefish and a variety of sharks, some with vibrant and amazing colors which cannot be found anywhere else.

The Crocodile & Giant Tortoises Park is not to be missed.
