See Mauritius beyond one beach: Port Louis's city heritage, Grand Baie's north coast, Flic en Flac, the scenery of Black River Gorges, Le Morne's cultural landscape and Mahébourg. Six days link the coast with the island's inland views; boats, water sports and longer hikes are yours to arrange separately.

Mauritius Public Heritage & Coast Loop is a 180 km loop (mixed transport). It works best as a 6-day trip; the plan below is the 6-day version for September, built from 161 verified places, with planned transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.
