About the Tour

Join us for a 5N/6D tropical escape to Mauritius, a slice of Africa like you’ve never seen before — where white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and volcanic landscapes come together in perfect harmony. Often described as a blend of the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and a European beach town, Mauritius offers the best of all worlds. August is the perfect time to visit — cool, dry, and sun-kissed, it’s winter here, but it feels just right as it’s a tropical country. Stay in a luxury beachside resort, cruise to the dreamy Île aux Cerfs, explore sacred lakes and vibrant coastal towns, and soak in the warmth of Creole culture. It’s a world-class island getaway — without the world-class price tag.

Welcome to Mauritius — an island where time slows down, the sea sparkles a little brighter, and every breeze carries the promise of something unforgettable. Just a short flight from India lies this tropical haven, where nature, culture, and calm come together in perfect harmony.

The moment you land, you’ll feel it — that subtle shift. The air is warmer, the sky feels wider, and the rhythm of the island begins to take over. With its location off the southeastern coast of Africa, Mauritius is a postcard-perfect island ringed by coral reefs and lagoons, lush with volcanic peaks and sugarcane fields. But it’s not just the scenery that enchants — it’s the way the island makes you feel: welcomed, unhurried, alive.

Did you know Mauritius was once an uninhabited island, discovered by the Portuguese and later colonized by the Dutch, French, and British? Over centuries, it became a strategic port and a melting pot of cultures due to its position on key Indian Ocean trade routes. The legacy of colonial powers, indentured laborers from India, and African and Chinese settlers has created a unique cultural tapestry that defines Mauritius today. Its unique cultural blend — Indian, Creole, African, Chinese, and European — is reflected in everything from its food to its music to the warm smiles of its people.

Your journey begins with a discovery of the island’s lively north. From the stunning view at Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcanic crater surrounded by forest, to the charm of Floreal with its local craft shops and model ship factory, there’s wonder at every turn. In Port Louis, the capital city, history and modern life sit side by side. You’ll explore the iconic Citadel Fort, stroll through the colorful Caudan Waterfront, and visit Aapravasi Ghat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that tells the story of Indian indentured laborers who helped shape the island’s identity.

Did you know the Aapravasi Ghat is one of the few places in the world that preserves the memory of Indian migration during colonial times?

The south of Mauritius shows you a wilder, more spiritual side. Here, you’ll visit Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao) — a peaceful crater lake considered one of the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites outside India. Towering above it stands the Mangal Mahadev statue, a 108-foot marvel of devotion. From there, the landscape unfolds into dramatic cliffs, panoramic coastal views, and natural wonders like the 23 Coloured Earths, where volcanic ash has settled into mesmerizing patterns of red, violet, ochre, and blue.

Did you know that the 23 Coloured Earths remain separated without mixing, even after heavy rains? This rare geological phenomenon continues to fascinate scientists and visitors alike.

And then comes the dream — your full day at Île aux Cerfs, a private island paradise that feels too perfect to be real. A scenic speedboat ride takes you across turquoise waters to white-sand beaches, swaying palms, and calm lagoons perfect for swimming or water sports. Whether you’re parasailing, enjoying an undersea walk, or simply lounging by the sea, this day will be one of the highlights of your Mauritius adventure.

Did you know Île aux Cerfs is one of the most photographed places in the entire Indian Ocean?

This isn’t just a trip — it’s a collection of unforgettable experiences, waiting to be lived. Let’s turn island dreams into real memories.
So pack your bags, bring your spirit of wonder, and let Mauritius do the rest. Because some places don’t just stay in your photos — they stay in your soul. And this island? It’s ready to write your next great story.
