Day 3 - Chamarel
Most people come to Mauritius for the beach, and for good reason, the beaches are stunning! However, this area, high up in the mountains is chronically overlooked. It is beautiful and totally different.
There's so much to do around here - as long as you love the great outdoors. Visit the seven coloured earth, trek in Black Rives Gorge National park or go Ziplining (it's the longest in the Indian Ocean region)

Day 4 - Grand Baie
Time to leave the verdant mountains of the south behind and head north to the colourful coastal town of Grand Baie.

Day 5 - Grand Baie
Grand Baie is the best place in Mauritius to wine and dine. Head into town tonight to watch the sunset over the ocean and to enjoy a bit of local creole cooking.
You can also explore temples & visit local markets to take in a bit of Mauritian culture
-
Day 6 - Grand Baie
If you can tear yourself away from the beach - then consider snorkelling or a catamaran cruise.

Time to head north to another Indian Ocean paradise - Seychelles!
Upon arrival on Mahe, you'll be met by our representative, who will welcome you to the island before guiding you to the domestic terminal for your hop to Bird Island.

Day 8 - Bird Island
Bird Island is quite something - from the moment you touch down in this wildlife paradise you're left in no doubt that this will be a really special experience.
Only a handful of guests are allowed to stay in the island's eco friendly log cabins at any one time. This is to ensure that nature continues to dominate. You feel like a guest in their home.
This evening you'll head off on a short nature walk with the resident expert before settling down for sunset drinks on your private terrace.
