Port Louis City Tour & Turtle Bay Marine Park Combo
The Caudan Waterfront
The Champs de Mars racecourse
The Citadel Port Louis
The Port Louis market
Full-day cruise with lunch and refreshments
This full-day cruise takes you south of Grand Bay, along the spectacular west coast of Mauritius and all the way to the Caudan Waterfront at the heart of Port Louis – which is a “Must See” for anyone visiting Mauritius. Set against a backdrop of magnificent sea and mountain views, the bustling Waterfront abounds with exciting shopping and entertainment venues intermingled with world-class hotels and restaurants overlooking the Port Louis Harbour. Its craft market in particular is a hive of activity with wonderful ambiance where you are sure to find all the souvenirs for the family back home.
From the Waterfront, you will climb onboard a comfortable, air conditioned minibus and venture into the labyrinth-like streets of Port-Louis in search of Mauritius’ fascinating colonial past. This wonderfully informative guided tour will take you to such landmarks as the famous Port-Louis Market, the Champ de Mars, the Citadel, and the Aapravasi Ghat (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
By morning’s end you will be taken back to the Caudan Waterfront and begin the return journey to Grand Bay aboard your catamaran. About 30 minutes after leaving the Port Louis harbour you will arrive at the wonderful Turtle Bay Marine Park, which was Mauritius’ first proclaimed national marine park known for its rich marine life. Endless varieties of corals, bright tropical fish, and turtles live in harmony in this underwater paradise, which you can start exploring while your crew prepares a delicious BBQ lunch. After lunch you will have plenty more time to enjoy the underwater world, relax on the nearby pristine beaches, or just sit back and admire the majestic backdrop of volcanic peaks overlooking the marine park. The return to Grand Bay will be at a leisurely pace.
This cruise is also available as a private charter and can be customized to your wishes.
