Overview

Operates:  Everyday except public holidays. La Vanille Nature Park, originally known as La Vanille Crocodile Park, was established in 1985. Its name reflects the old vine cultivated in the valley where the 5-hectare reserve is located. In this enchanting setting, Mauritian hospitality, nature conservation, and animal welfare are prioritized. Our guides will lead you on an unforgettable tour of the reserve. Conservation projects at La Vanille are crucial, as many plant and animal species face extinction due to deforestation, hunting, and invasive species. The park is dedicated to protecting habitats, captive breeding for reintroduction, and farming to reduce the demand for wild-caught animals.

  • Gris Gris Beach

    Due to the lack of coral reefs, it’s one of the best spots to witness the wild side of Mauritius! Think strong waves crashing against the jagged cliffs, natural pools with crystal-clear water, secret caves, viewpoints, and hidden waterfalls! There’s clearly plenty to see around Gris Gris Beach!

Exciting and enjoyable trip

Published on Feb, 2024

We had a great, adventurous time tailored to our needs during this private tour. Our knowledgeable guide (and a driver at the same time) Mustafa was incredibly kind, flexible and professional throughout the day. He provided us with lots of valuable insights about the island’s history, culture and wildlife. We are very grateful to Mustafa for making this day truly special to us. He even drove back to our hotel to hand in my phone, which I forgot to take with me at the end of the tour (as I often do…), which I am forever grateful to him and to the local Viator agent, who acted swiftly and efficiently, as soon as we realised I had left my phone in the car. Many thanks Mustafa and Viator!
