We really enjoyed the Tea factory but of course the most memorable moments were at the Nature Park with the giant tortoises.

I stayed at a hotel in the north and booked to do the South Tour. As I stayed in the north there was a lot of driving. I really enjoyed the trip and was great to experience Mauritius. The water falls were amazing. You had to pay to see 7 sands which was interesting.

That trip was super super because you can enjoy the beauty of that island and also know how the tea is done. What a great trip.
