Day 1: Arrival & North Coast Exploration
Start your journey by heading to the vibrant north of Mauritius. Visit Grand Baie, known for its lively atmosphere, shopping spots, and beachfront cafés. Take a relaxing walk along the beach and ease into island life.
In the afternoon, explore Cap Malheureux, famous for its iconic red-roof church and stunning ocean views. End your day with a beachfront dinner and a beautiful sunset.

Day two is all about adventure. Head to the east coast for a full-day experience at Ile aux Cerfs, one of Mauritius’ most famous islands.
Here, you can enjoy activities like parasailing, tube riding, undersea walking, and catamaran cruises. The crystal-clear lagoon and white sandy beaches make it one of the most unforgettable experiences on the island.
This is a must-do day — and one of the highlights of your trip.

This day gives you a deeper connection to Mauritius beyond the beaches.
