Day 2. July 7, 2026. SPERM WHALES — CRYSTAL ROCK — BEACH BARBECUE

After breakfast, we set out on a marine excursion with the primary objective of encountering sperm whales and swimming alongside them. These colossal marine mammals boast phenomenal physiology, where the head of the animal constitutes one-third of its entire body. Adult males can reach an impressive length of 20 meters with a weight of up to 40 tons, and in rare cases, 50 tons or more. Females, on the other hand, exhibit more modest dimensions, but their food consumption is significantly lower. The extraordinary coexistence of these marine predators creates a captivating seascape, revealing the beauty of nature right before your eyes, within arm's reach.
Following this, we enjoy swimming with dolphins and snorkeling around the "Aquarium" - a coral reef. Next, we head to lle aux Bénitiers island. En route to the beach barbecue, we make a stop at Crystal Rock, a famous geological wonder. After lunch, we return to the shore. Back to the hotel around 5:00 PM. Free time. Relax at the hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Accommodation: TAMASSA HOTEL BEL OMBRE or similar

Day 3. July 8, 2026. UNDERWATER WATERFALL ON LE MORNE MOUNTAIN (trekking 3 – 4 hours) — CASELA PARK

After breakfast, we set out for the beginning of our trek to Le Morne Mountain. This expedition takes us to the summit of the mountain, where we will witness an extraordinary spectacle – the underwater waterfall. During this excursion, we will stroll through Le Morne Brabant. This mountain has been declared a UNESCO "World Heritage Site." Our guide will delve into the reasons behind the cross placed there, the origin of the mountain's name, and the historical ways people took to reach this point. As you ascend, breathtaking views of both the coastal and inland areas of the island will unfold. Following the trek, a seafood lunch awaits us at a local restaurant.
But that's not all for today! Just 15 km away lies the amazing Casela Nature and Leisure Park (Casela Park). Stretching across 250 hectares on the western coast of Mauritius, just a few steps from Flic-en-Flac resort, this park was established in 1979 in response to the need to preserve unique vegetation and protect rare bird species from agricultural development. Over time, the park's collection of animals and plants has grown richer, making it one of the most visited places in Mauritius.
We'll hop on our Segways and head out on safari. We'll feed giraffes, ostriches and skulls, pet zebras and take photos of lions.
After a busy day, return to the hotel.

Day 4. July 9, 2026. 23-COLOURED EARTH OF CHAMAREL – SACRED LAKE – GANESHA STATUE – RETURN FLIGHT (OR FLIGHT TO MADAGASCAR)

Today we dive into one of the island’s most surreal landscapes — the legendary 23-Coloured Earth of Chamarel. Over millions of years, volcanic minerals and natural chemical processes painted the sand into a spectrum of reds, browns, purples, greens, blues, yellows and deep violet hues. What fascinates geologists to this day is the structure of these formations: even if you mix handfuls of sand from different colours, they naturally separate back into distinct layers. It’s a natural phenomenon that feels almost impossible — a rainbow shaped into dunes.

The next highlight of our captivating journey involves a visit to the Sacred Lake and the Ganesha Statue. This small symbolic lake on the island of Mauritius serves as an ideal pilgrimage site. Nestled in the heart of the Savanna crater, it attracts tourists from all corners of the globe. Also known as Ganga Talao, the Grand Bassin serves as a Hinduism propagation center, being the predominant religion on the island.

According to legend, Shiva poured water from the Ganges River into the extinguished crater, transforming it into this sacred lake, imbuing it with special significance for pilgrims.
Furthermore, the lake's water color resembles the shade of the Ganges. Perhaps we will be fortunate enough to catch sight of small monkeys grazing along the road and even savor local delicacies such as Creole-style pineapple with pepper.
Transfer to the airport. International flight back home.
