Stop At: Bois Cheri Tea Factory and Tea Museum, Bois Cheri Road, Bois Cheri, Mauritius

You will have the opportunity to discover the tea plantation of Bois Cheri. It’s no doubt the most popular tea in Mauritius; just the smell of the wonderful vanilla-infused black tea brings back fond memories for all Mauritians. You will have the opportunity to choose whether you would like a guided visit of the factory and tea plantation, a visit of the tea production museum, a tea tasting, or all three (which is our recommendation!).

You can also visit the beautiful historical colonial house and the vanilla and anthurium flower plantations.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Le Port Ship Model, Vacoas, Mauritius

Le Port Model Ship Building Workshop:

Mauritius is well known for its artisanal ships that are expertly hand-crafted by talented artisans. People fly to Mauritius from all over the world to admire and purchase these unique and beautiful works of art. You will have the opportunity to visit a traditional workshop and learn about the art of model ship-building. If you would like to purchase one as a souvenir of your trip, you will be able to choose from the many unique models on display.

Diamond Museum:

Discover how diamonds are expertly cut by local artisans and learn about the process of manufacturing diamonds from beginning to end. You will be able to see the experts at work and view their creations on display at the museum.

Duration: 3 hours

Pass By: Gris Gris Beach, South Coast, Souillac, Mauritius

While most of Mauritius is surrounded by coral reefs, giving us the calm lagoon the island is famous for, the southern part of the island is where there is a break in the reef. At Gris Gris, you will be able to admire the rugged scenery of big, powerful waves crashing on the stunning cliffs. A few metres away, you will see La Roche qui Pleure, a natural rock formation that resembles a person crying when the waves hit it.

Quel beauté de voir ces champs de thé , avec un guide c’était vraiment très intéressant. Par contre la visite de l’usine de thé est excessivement chère, heureusement c’était également très intéressant. Ensuite la dégustation dans un très beau cadre puis la boutique où malheureusement vous ne retrouvez pas tous les thés que vous venez de déguster. Dans l’ensemble cela vaut la peine au moins pour la beauté des champs de thé.
