Full description
Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of Mauritius with the Port Louis City Tour, a comprehensive exploration of the capital's rich tapestry of history, culture, and contemporary allure.

Next, visitors immerse themselves in the spiritual and architectural grandeur of vibrant Hindu temples adorned with intricate carvings and vivid colors. The Caudan Waterfront presents the modern face of Mauritius—a bustling promenade featuring shopping, dining, and entertainment with stunning harbor views. The journey continues through Chinatown's narrow streets and traditional shops, the historic bazaar with its colors and scents, and museums providing deeper cultural understanding. The Citadel Fort, perched atop a hill, offers panoramic views spanning the cityscape and harbor. The tour concludes at the Odysseo Oceanarium, a state-of-the-art facility showcasing diverse marine life and aquatic ecosystems. Throughout the experience, visitors gain profound understanding of the island's past and present through a private, personalized journey with an English/French-speaking driver.

We were lucky to meet Roni because we could not find a rental car anywhere else. And I mean ... lucky! Roni helped us with many things. He organized a tour to the local Flacq market, he found us a rental car, secured a boat excursion around the main islands (with a great guide Roy), made a special rum delivery in the evening the day before our departure. Well, to be brief, if you need to organize something on this island, just call Roni :)
Thank you for everything Roni, we'll be back and reach out to you for sure.

Went on a northern island trip with Belle Mare Tours. It was fun. The crew was an entertaining, fun loving group. All our needs were tended to. Will recommend this tour if you are looking for a catamaran tour to the northern islands. Also, bring your party shoes

After a disappointing experience with the villa we had rented in Trou D'eau Douce and a not so honest guide, my group of friends and my partner were blessed by discovering Bella Mare Tours. They were incredible, offered affordable options, adapted to last minute changes for a group of 7 and were available to respond within minutes. This was my first time receiving such excellent services and I have traveled to over 60 countries. Noorani was a gem and I am grateful that he made our trip unforgettable.

We did both the 5 islands tour and the south tour with belle Mar tours. Prices are so much cheaper than the travel companies and hotels offer and definitely get a great experience. These two trips have been the highlight of our honeymoon here in Mauritius. We contacted them through WhatsApp once we were in resort. Arranging was simple and you can pay cash on the day. Pick up from hotel. Would not hesitate to recommend this company. 👌

Brilliant! We did two of the tours with Belle Mare - North tour and South tour. We also used them for a day trip to Curepipe. Much cheaper than the hotel taxis. Our driver for all three was Roni who was fabulous. Very friendly but relaxed and he took the time to understand what we were looking to see and geared the day towards that. Some nice stops to try some local snacks and he even guided us round Vanilla Park as he clearly has a passion for animal conservation. I cannot fault the service we got for the price we did and would highly recommend Belle Mare tours to anyone looking to explore the beautiful island of Mauritius.

Nooraini and Greeja helped to piece up our itenarary for a family of 14 which include seniors, teenagers and kids under 6. They took very good care of us and was very flexible in rearranging transportation and day trips when our flight got very delayed which affected the pre-planned programs. They also arranged for us to have the same driver to take us around when possible and we all had a great time, especially the private catamaran trip which was the highlight for us.
