Heritage Spice House: Museum, Spice Grinding & Take-Home Masala

Dont miss!!!

We don’t have the words to describe our experience with Jaya and Avi. We had told the hotel team how much we wanted an experience that would help us discover the real Mauritius, and they recommended Heritage House. Avi arranged transportation for us from the hotel and took us to the centre of the village and the local market. From there, the magic just kept growing. We explored the herb and vegetable garden, and the girls turned out to be natural-born spice grinders! They discovered what sugar cane and cassava look like, and learned about all kinds of spices. Then we began chopping vegetables we had never seen before, and even met Jaya’s mother, who has surely taught her many of the family’s kitchen secrets. Throughout the visit, Jaya and Avi shared their knowledge and patiently answered all our questions about Mauritian traditions, food and history. The whole experience felt warm and homely. And to top it all off, even our youngest—who usually has the most Western tastes—devoured the food! She was nearly as taken with the two adorable dogs she spotted behind the fence. We came hoping to learn about the traditions, and we found warm, welcoming people who felt like old friends.

Chamarel’s Coffee Tour

Awesome Guide

Got an awesome experience ! All thanks to our amazing guide Shawn, young but very talented and passionate about his job, sharing every little details about the domain, the coffee trees and the history. Let alone the knowledge, the small jokes made the visit less formal and more interactive. Big thanks to you my guy for everything !

Southern Splendor: Bois Cheri Tea & Crocodile Park with Lunch

Extremely interesting and educational

An excellent visit to the Crocodile Park with good interpretation on the lives of these fearsome creatures. Also wonderful to see the Giant Tortoises which are being bred to reintroduce them into Madagascar and Reunion islands. A once in a lifetime visit
