Explore the Tea Route
The oldest tea estate in Mauritius, which began its operations in the year 1918 has been attracting visitors from all over the world during their stays at Mauritius resorts. This tea route tour begins at the colonial houses of Domaine des Aubineaux and ends at a plantation house named St. Aubin, which is now a dining spot for the visitors of the Bois Cheri tea plantation, factory and museum.
The Chamarel Village
A trip to Anantara Iko Mauritius will not be complete without trekking the lands of the Chamarel Village. The village is notable for its earth, coloured in seven different shades, and the striking piece of a natural wonder; the Chamarel Waterfall. The coloured earth is a result of volcanic rocks that have been cooled at various degrees of temperature. Do not forget to make a pit stop at the Rhumerei de Chamarel distillery and sip a sample of Mauritian rum.
An Ocean Deep Experience in a Submarine
While vacations to island nations are quite common in the Indian Ocean, not all of them offer a ride in a submarine to explore the deep blue ocean. However, the Blue Safari Submarine trips offer a 40-minute ocean deep ride of absolute euphoria. Reaching 35 metres deep, you can witness the Star of Hope inside the only leisure submarine in the Indian Ocean.
Walk through a Rainforest
Stretched across 6,574 hectares, the Black River Gorges National Park is a protected rainforest of lush greenery swaying to the rhythm of the waters streaming down its waterfalls. This magnificent landscape was once home to the Dodo which is now an extinct creature, and shelters nine unique bird species along with 311 endemic flora.
