The cultural day out
Centred on Port Louis. Not a beach day and should not be sold as one.
- Model ship factory — Mauritius is known for handmade scale ships; the workshop visit is genuinely interesting even to people who expect not to care.
- Local handicraft shop
- Fort Adelaide (the Citadel) — the overview point across Port Louis and the Champ de Mars racecourse.
- Caudan Waterfront — around 90 shops. Good for a wander; prices are touristic. Manage expectations if the guest is shopping seriously.
- Aapravasi Ghat — UNESCO World Heritage site, and a meaningful one for Indian guests: the immigration depot through which indentured labourers arrived. It has its own guides and interpretation on site.
- Tea museum and a drive-through of Port Louis and the Champ de Mars.
