Mauritius honeymoon, tailor made

Planet

The eco-tents you will stay in on the East run with power & water provided from natural sources and meals are a 100% vegetarian, mostly sourced from the organic garden. The tents are built in harmony with nature, easily moveable and designed to leave no trace behind. Your Guest Houses use furniture from upcycled woods and are decorated by local artists, offering an authentic feel of Mauritian art and crafts.

All of our tours and excursions are non-motorized, proposing eco-conscious alternatives to commercial boat trips and day-tours by car; we bring our travelers on offbeat adventures to discover Mauritius' secret gems by sea-kayaking, mountain biking, walking tours and hikes.

Our tours and excursions happen either in exclusivity or in small groups of
maximum 6 people, to minimize the impact on the environment while maximizing safety and interaction with local guides.

We are committed to defend animal welfare, discarding activities that deprive animals from their natural rights or are invasive to their natural habitats, such as:
- the walk with lions and the crocodile park
- the overcrowded "swim with dolphins"
- the underwater walk and submarine, which damage greatly the coral reef

Our hikes & treks excursions include individual cleaning kits (in collaboration with "My Green Trip" NGO) for travelers to proactively help us clean-up debris left behind in nature. When possible, the collected trash is deposited in the segregated bins of "Mission Verte" local NGO for recycling purposes.

Our trusted partners for scuba diving promote the use of biodegradable and reef-friendly sunscreens, by including them free of charge in their excursions or by selling them at their shops.

All of our nature-based excursions aim to raise awareness of the places' flora and fauna and its relevance to the natural and social environments, ranging from rainforest (Black River National Park) to coral reefs (scuba diving) and beach & coastal forests (South Coastal trek).

People

We are committed to offer authentic holiday products with a direct link to Mauritian culture, heritage or history.

We support & empower small to medium businesses, set up independently and run by the local community, such as the two family-run Guest Houses and the two locally owned Eco-Lodges in this itinerary.

All of our tours and excursions are led by certified and licensed local guides from the areas visited.

Our proposed tours and excursions leak financially to the local community,
creating jobs or alternative revenue streams for those who need it most (such as the walking tour of Poudre d'Or and the meal preparation at Rosemonde's home).

Travelers are advised, before their cultural immersions, of the cultural norms, dress codes and formalities to follow to act respectfully within places of worship or ethnic minorities.

Our itinerary includes a the stay in a small village (Guest House on the West) to buy authentic and handmade souvenirs, eco-conscious crafts and fair-trade products.

Our local team will be in touch with you via WhatsApp to advise you on our favorite family-run Restaurants to eat authentic Mauritian meals, as well as farms and markets to buy local organic produce.
