Itinerary

Underwater Waterfall

The spectacular Underwater Waterfall in Mauritius stands as one of the world's most extraordinary geological formations. Situated at the island's southwestern tip, this remarkable and unusual geological phenomenon creates an awe-inspiring vista. The unique marine topography of Mauritius features an elevated ocean shelf that rises above the seabed. Along this coastline, there's a gradual downward slope that dramatically plunges into a 4,000-meter-deep abyss. This distinctive underwater landscape, combined with the continuous movement of sand and silt deposits across these slopes, creates a mesmerizing display of varying blue hues. These harmonious shades blend together to produce the breathtaking optical illusion known as the underwater waterfall.

Le Morne Mountain

Standing majestically in southwestern Mauritius on the Le Morne peninsula, the iconic Le Morne Brabant mountain holds profound historical significance. This remarkable landmark achieved UNESCO World Heritage status on July 6, 2008, commemorating its role in the Marronage (runaway slaves) heritage of Mauritius. Historical accounts suggest that enslaved people, facing unimaginable cruelty, tragically chose to end their lives by leaping from the mountain's precipitous cliffs. Le Morne Brabant stands as one of the island's most untouched and pristine mountains. Its slopes provide sanctuary to an impressive variety of endemic and narrow-endemic plant species, including the distinguished Trochetia Boutoniana, proudly recognized as Mauritius's national flower.

Blue Bay Marine Park

Established as a national park in 1997, Blue Bay, located in southeastern Mauritius, later gained recognition under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance in 2008. This marine sanctuary is renowned for its spectacular coral gardens, hosting countless coral varieties and vibrant marine life. The park's shoreline offers perfect conditions for snorkeling enthusiasts, featuring rich biodiversity in calm, shallow waters.

Maconde

The breathtaking Maconde View Point lies between Le Morne and Baie du Cap. The site's name carries two possible origins: some trace it to the Makonde tribe from Mozambique, who sought refuge here during the slavery era, while others attribute it to Governor Jean Baptiste Henri Conde, who constructed a clifftop observation point. The serpentine road hugging the basalt cliffs, where ocean waves crash against rocky formations, creates an impressive spectacle that draws visitors eager to observe the dramatic ocean swells.

Riviere des Galets

Nestled between Souillac and Bel Ombre in southern Mauritius, Riviere des Galets captivates visitors with its distinctive shoreline, characterized by countless smooth pebbles that carpet the beach. This captivating coastal spot has earned its reputation as a must-visit tourist destination, offering visitors a tranquil escape where they can witness powerful waves crashing against the shoreline. Unlike traditional sandy beaches, this unique coastal area features smooth, polished stones that create an equally enchanting atmosphere.

Gris Gris

Situated at Mauritius's southernmost point lies the village of Gris-Gris. The main draw of this location is its spectacular scenery, characterized by steep cliffs that descend sharply into the ocean, where strong Indian Ocean winds persist throughout the year. The sea cliff at Gris-Gris is particularly renowned and deserves its reputation as a remarkable attraction. This section of the island lacks the protective coral reef barrier, allowing massive waves to crash directly onto the cliff faces. Visitors to the southern end of Gris-Gris can access an exceptional vantage point overlooking the cliffs, where they can observe the dramatic spectacle of waves colliding with the rocky cliff walls.

Ile des Deux Cocos

The picturesque Ile des Deux Cocos islet is situated off the southeastern coastline. This small island, abundant with indigenous flora, offers spectacular views of waves breaking against the reefs and the majestic mountain range along Mauritius's eastern shore. The islet's remarkable natural splendor makes it a sought-after destination for those seeking an exclusive island retreat away from everyday distractions. Hidden among the verdant foliage stands the enchanting "Follies" Villa, a historic structure erected over a century ago by Sir Hesketh Bellor.

Ile au Phare

The islet, known locally as Ile au Phare, is positioned on the coral reef in southeastern Mauritius within Grand Port bay. This rocky outcrop presents visitors with a captivating panoramic vista, framed by crystal-clear azure waters and dramatic wave action against its cliffs. Rich in historical significance, Ile au Phare has been designated as a historical monument, with roots tracing back to Mauritius's colonial period. Its uninhabited status has preserved its untamed beauty, allowing it to maintain its magnificent presence amid the Mauritian waters.

La Prairie

La Prairie Beach, situated in southwestern Mauritius near Baie-du-Cap village, stands out as one of several remarkable beaches in the Savanne district. The expansive lagoon presents a visual feast, featuring numerous secluded spots perfect for peaceful relaxation away from crowds. The beach's picturesque setting makes it impossible not to be enchanted by its authentic island ambiance. La Prairie derives its name from the grass growing along the pristine lagoon's edge, enhancing the location's natural charm and creating picture-perfect views worthy of any postcard.
