  • Grand Bassin

    Drive by the Mare-aux-Vacoas, Mauritius’ largest reservoir, on the way to Grand Bassin, a tranquil and serene crater lake considered sacred by the Hindu population. Discover the Hindu culture by visiting the temples around the lake and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surroundings. You will also be amazed by the tall statue of Shiva and the view from the highest temple. Be sure to watch out for the monkeys and wildlife. Note: It may not be possible to make this stop in the month of February or March as the area is also a pilgrimage site during the festival of Mahashivaratree.

A fabulous day to remember

Published on Nov, 2024

We booked with Bonjour Mauritius before arriving and have just completed a wonderful tour today. We had a few requests the team were so helpful with. Meeting up with friends from another hotel on the same tour, The two drivers arranged this and we all meet up. They also arranged a lovely birthday cake for my lunch spot. Nothing was any trouble and a really lovely touch. Despite the rain, we toured Black River National Park, saw the coloured earth, a great tour of the rum factory at Chamarel, really interesting to understand what goes into the production process, and tasting of 7 rums! We had lunch at a lovely location, local Mauritian curry, and again the hospitality was superb! Thank you Bonjour Mauritius for making our trip so memorable.

Driver around island

Published on May, 2023

They were excellent. They honored my request to cancel one of the activities we booked with 24 hour notice and I appreciated that. I went with my parents on a 2 day excursion checking out sights around the island. The driver was flexible with taking us to destinations we ended up wanting to go to (nature hikes weren’t for us, so we did more of the sightseeing activities). There wasn’t a guide, but there was a driver who was great.

A good start for our stay on the island

Published on Nov, 2022

At the start of our holidays we wanted to explore Port Louis and some other points. Unfortunately, it was Sunday and many attractions had been closed. But San, our driver found good alternatives. The lunch was very tasty! We enjoyed the day very much.
