Day-by-Day Itinerary

1. 1

   Day 1: Arrive in Mauritius

   Arrive in Mauritius on your direct flight from Nairobi and meet your local driver at the airport. The transfer to the south coast takes you through sugar-cane country and quiet villages before reaching the resort. Settle into Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa, enjoy a late lunch or afternoon tea at your own cost, and take time beside the lagoon. Dinner is included under the half-board plan. This gentle first day leaves you rested and ready for the island’s guided experiences.

   Day 2: Discover the north and Port Louis

   Begin with breakfast before a guided tour of northern Mauritius. Explore Grand Baie, one of the island’s best-known coastal areas, then continue to the capital, Port Louis, for its waterfront, market atmosphere, and historic city streets. The route combines local life with ocean views rather than rushing between stops. Return to Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa in the afternoon for beach time or a spa appointment. Dinner is included, while shopping and personal purchases remain at your discretion.

   Today’s west-coast outing pairs scenery with relaxed island time.

Your guide sets the pace and points out viewpoints along the route. Keep the evening free for the resort’s lagoon, gardens, or wellness facilities.

   Travel into the island’s greener interior for a south Mauritius sightseeing day. Stop near Trou-Aux-Cerfs, the volcanic crater above Curepipe, then continue through upland scenery towards the Black River Gorges region. The landscape changes from developed coastal districts to forested slopes and open viewpoints. Wear comfortable shoes for short walks and carry sun protection. After the excursion, return to Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa for dinner and an unhurried evening beside the Indian Ocean.

   Day 5: Cruise towards Ile aux Cerfs

   After breakfast, head towards the east coast for a lagoon-focused day. Ile aux Cerfs is known for bright water, sandy beaches, and optional activities such as a catamaran outing or parasailing. Chosen water sports are paid separately and depend on weather and availability. Enjoy the island at your own pace before returning to the mainland. Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa welcomes you back for dinner, followed by time to relax on the resort grounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Mauritius package?

The package price includes return economy flights between Nairobi and Mauritius, six nights at Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa, half-board meals, airport transfers, and the guided island excursions listed in the itinerary. Personal spending, optional water sports, travel insurance, and any resort charges not stated in the booking confirmation are excluded.

How much does the Mauritius holiday cost?

The package starts from KES 238,000 per adult sharing. The final price depends on travel dates, room availability, flight inventory, and the selected room arrangement. July and August are priced separately because Mauritius luxury accommodation can cost more during these months.

What is the child policy for this Mauritius tour?

Children aged 2 to 11 qualify for the child rate when sharing with paying adults. Infant arrangements, cot requests, room occupancy rules, and child meal charges depend on the resort and airline. Proven Adventures confirms the applicable child price before you pay the booking deposit.

When is the best time to visit Mauritius?

Mauritius works well throughout the year, but the most comfortable beach and sightseeing conditions are generally found during the drier months from May to October. July and August are popular travel months. November to April brings warmer, more humid weather and can suit travellers who prioritise swimming and resort time.

Do Kenyans need a visa for Mauritius?

Kenyan passport holders do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days in Mauritius, according to the supplied travel information. Travellers should carry a valid passport, confirmed return ticket, accommodation details, and evidence of sufficient funds. Entry rules can change, so we check current requirements before departure.

Is there a single supplement?

A single supplement applies when one traveller occupies a room alone. The amount is not fixed because it depends on the resort room category, travel season, and airline fare. Proven Adventures quotes the single supplement separately before confirmation, so solo guests receive a complete price rather than an estimate.

Are water sports and optional excursions included?

Optional activities include dolphin excursions, catamaran cruises, parasailing, and other water sports available around Mauritius. These activities are not included unless they appear in your confirmed itinerary. Full-day excursions in the market start from USD 128.01, while the final local price depends on the supplier, date, and activity.

How do I book this Mauritius package with Proven Adventures?

To book, send Proven Adventures your preferred travel dates, number of adults and children, passport details when requested, and room preference. We check flights and resort availability, issue a detailed quotation, and explain the payment schedule. Your reservation is confirmed only after the required deposit and written confirmation.
