8 days in Mauritius Itinerary

An unusual commodity in the lesser-touristed western part of Mauritius, the developed seaside village Flic En Flac boasts a vast white sandy beach that generates a large amount of tourism.

Your itinerary includes some good beach time at Mont Choisy Beach and Plage de Trou aux Biches. Take a break from the city and head to Les 7 Cascades and Heritage Nature Reserve. Get out of town with these interesting Flic En Flac side-trips: Chateau De Labourdonnais (in Mapou), SSR Botanic Garden (in Pamplemousses) and Grand Baie (La Cuvette Public Beach & Island Gems And Jewels). There's still lots to do: stroll through Ebony Forest Reserve, look for all kinds of wild species at Dolphin Warrior, enjoy the sand and surf at Gris Gris Beach, and do a tasting at Takamaka Boutique Winery.
