The English speaking chauffeur guide will pick you up at the hotel and head to the north of Mauritius in the morning. At the beginning of our Mauritius day trip, we will visit Chateau De Labourdonnais. As an old and quiet manor, it is a good place to learn about the history of Mauritius.

There is an open-air cafe and castle gift shop that sell rum, candies, jams, green chili sauce, smoothies and honey.

Then, we are going to SSR Botanic Garden (Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens). Built in the 18th century, it is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the southern hemisphere, containing over 80 palm species and nearly 20 species endemic to the Southwest Indian Ocean. The most famous plant in the botanic garden is the giant Amazonian lotus (also known as Victoria amazonica). It is said that the plant can carry the weight of a baby. There are also some unique animals, including Seychelles Giant Tortoises, Indonesia Deer and Madagascar Red-billed Birds.

Next, we will go to the nearby L'Aventure du Sucre.
