Activity itinerary

Le Caudan Waterfront

Begin your culinary adventure at the vibrant Caudan Waterfront, one of Port Louis’ most popular landmarks. Stroll along the colourful waterfront, admire the famous Umbrella Street, browse local craft shops, and enjoy beautiful views of the harbour. Your guide will introduce you to the area’s history and multicultural atmosphere before leading you toward the bustling streets of the capital to sample authentic Mauritian street food.

Le Craft Market

Explore the colourful Craft Market at Caudan Waterfront, where local artisans showcase a wide selection of handmade Mauritian products. Browse traditional souvenirs, woven baskets, model ships, jewellery, textiles, spices, artwork, and decorative items. It is an ideal place to discover local craftsmanship and purchase memorable gifts from Mauritius.

Central Market

Central Market Port Louis is the most vibrant and sensory-rich spot in Port Louis, and a key stop for anyone exploring Mauritian street life. It’s a covered, bustling bazaar where the sounds of bargaining, the smell of spices, and the colors of fresh produce all blend together. Inside, vendors sell tropical fruits like lychee, mango, pineapple, and papaya alongside heaps of chili, curry leaves, and locally ground masala. One of the biggest highlights is the street food section, where travelers can try Mauritian staples such as dholl puri (soft flatbread filled with split pea curry), gateaux piments (crispy chili fritters), roti wraps, samosas, and freshly squeezed sugarcane juice pressed on the spot. Beyond food, the market is also a cultural snapshot—herbal medicine stalls, handmade crafts, souvenirs, and clothing sit alongside everyday shopping for locals. Upstairs, you’ll often find dried spices, teas, and local snacks to take away.

Aapravasi Ghat

Visit Aapravasi Ghat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Mauritius’ most significant historical landmarks. This former immigration depot welcomed thousands of indentured labourers who arrived mainly from India during the 19th century. Explore the preserved remains and exhibitions while learning about their journey, daily lives, and lasting contribution to Mauritius’ multicultural identity.

Citadelle (Fort Adelaide)

Visit Fort Adelaide, commonly known as the Citadel, a historic British fortress overlooking Port Louis. Built during the 19th century, the fort offers impressive panoramic views of the capital, harbour, surrounding mountains, and Champ de Mars. Explore its stone architecture, learn about its colonial history, and capture memorable photographs from one of the city’s finest viewpoints.

China Town

Chinatown Port Louis is one of the most atmospheric districts in Port Louis, Mauritius, where narrow streets, herbal shops, and traditional eateries reflect the island’s long-standing Chinese-Mauritian heritage. Walking through Chinatown, travelers notice rows of small family-run businesses selling dried herbs, medicinal tonics, noodles, spices, and fresh produce. The area is especially known for its authentic Chinese-Mauritian food—dumplings, noodle soups, fried rice, roasted duck, and street snacks influenced by Hakka and Cantonese traditions, often blended with Creole flavors. Murals and lanterns add color to the streets, while old shopfronts sit next to modern convenience stores, showing how tradition and daily life mix in the neighborhood. Temples tucked between buildings offer a quiet contrast to the lively street activity. For visitors on a walking experience, Chinatown is usually a key stop between the Central Market and the waterfront.
