7-Day Mauritius Holiday — Island Discovery & Leisure Escape
Explore & Unwind
Seven Days That Let the Island Come to You
This itinerary is built around a different idea — three guided days showing you the best of the island's culture, nature and coastline, balanced with two full leisure days where nothing is scheduled. It's the rhythm most travellers actually want: enough to feel like you've experienced a place, and enough space to rest in it.

Your Week at a Glance
Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 2
North Mauritius — Port Louis & Pamplemousses Botanical Garden
A full-day North Mauritius tour — the historic Pamplemousses Botanical Garden (giant Victoria Amazonica water lilies, 85 palm species and Aldabra tortoises), then into Port Louis for the market, old town and harbour waterfront.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Pamplemousses' ancient botanical garden, the streets of Port Louis and the sacred waters of Grand Bassin
Day 3
Leisure Day — The Island at Your Own Speed
The first of two free days — no guide, no transfer, no timetable; the beach, the resort, or independent exploring by local bus or taxi, entirely as you like.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 4
South Mauritius — Grand Bassin & Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth
A full-day South Mauritius tour — the sacred Hindu lake of Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao) in its forested volcanic crater, then Chamarel's Seven Coloured Earth.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 5
Île aux Cerfs — Full Day on the Island
A speedboat off the east coast to Île aux Cerfs — a small island in one of the region's most beautiful sheltered lagoons — for a full day to swim, walk the island, or do absolutely nothing.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Île aux Cerfs' white shores and crystal lagoon — and the beach days this itinerary gives you time to actually enjoy
Day 6
Second Leisure Day — Whatever You Didn't Get Round to Yet
A second free day — revisit a corner of the island you wanted more time in, book the spa, or do nothing at all — with your last dinner at the resort this evening.

A final breakfast, then check out and private transfer to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport.
