- in 1770, and it covers an area of around 37 hectares.
In addition to its giant waterlilies, the garden also features spices, ebonies, sugar canes, and 85 varieties of palms from Central America, Asia, Africa and the islands around the Indian Ocean. Many trees have been planted by world leaders and royalty, including Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, Indira Gandhi, François Mitterrand and Robert Mugabe.

It is this fabulous saga that is told at L’Aventure du Sucre and that made Mauritius what it is today, a harmonious, smiling, multicultural island.

Excellent day tour from cruise ship - From getting off cruise ship. Asleem our taxi driver was waiting ready with our name on it. He was polite and friendly and quickly showed up around all north attractions. Answered any questions we had and even had a joke to the story. He took us to a nice seafood restaurant for lunch after visiting botanical gardens. Local beaches and red Catholic Church were our last stop before making our way back to cruise ship in plenty off time. Would thoroughly recommend chucky and Asleem if doing a day tour from cruise ship. Thanks.

Great day around North Mauritius - We had a great trip around the North of the island last week. Our driver was punctual and friendly throughout the day, telling us about the various places we stopped at or passed on the way. We had time to explore each of the stops on our own, the main ones being Port Louis, the botanical gardens and the sugar factory. All the stops felt like they had enough time other than the sugar factory - around an hour here didn't feel like enough to be able to take everything in and do the tastings.

A wonderful day tour of Mauritius with Mr Rakesh Sob - The car was very clean, and the driver Mr Rakesh Sob is a wonderful guy. Rakesh was very patient with us, helpful during the tour we had to book a hotel room for the night plus confirming our flight ticket back to the US. And took us to places not even in the original itinerary. I’d rate the tour 5+.
