7 Walking Tours in Mauritius to Build a Day Around

1.Port Louis Street Food Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 93 reviews · 2 hours · from $70Our pick

Start at Le Caudan Waterfront and follow an English or French-speaking guide into Port Louis for about eight tastings. Try dholl puri, jalebis, gâteau piment, and Hakka Chinese-inspired treats while learning how Indian, Chinese, and African influences shaped Mauritian food.

“The tour was fun and Christopher is a knowledgable, authentic and very nice guide. It was a mix of „I wouldn‘t dare to try this if I was alone“ and well known food but „the best in place“. The portions were regular size and I couldn‘t finish all of it, but I took my leftovers with me for dinner - so very good value for money. We walked a lot and learned much about Mauritian history. Would recommend 👍🏼”

4.Guided Walking Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 20 reviews · 4 hours · from $76

Spend four hours walking Grand Baie with an English or French speaking guide such as Rudi or Adrien. Stop at four seated tastings for rougaille, Creole curry, drinks and dessert, then see the town beyond its beach resorts.

“Our tour guide Rudi was absolutely brilliant and took us in a food cultural tour of all things Mauritius! He was really friendly and told us so much about the country and it's people and the influence on its food. We went to food sellers that we probably would have been way too wary of trying and had some very good food.. The only problem was we needed bigger stomachs as there was so much food to eat... You really need to come hungry for this tour as its such great food so skip dinner the night before and skip breakfast and enjoy every mouthful. Really enjoyed seeing the fish…”

7.Coastal Cuisine & Culture Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3 reviews · 3 hours · from $57

Meet Adrian near Happy Rajah and Super U for a three-hour, 3km food walk through Grand Baie. You’ll try Mauritian and Réunion-style dishes, seafood, dessert, and local street food, then visit the bazaar, beach, and one of Grand Baie’s oldest buildings.

“Adrian was a great guide telling us about Grand Baie and food in Mauritius. Food we tested was amazing. However there weren’t that many food stops only four which considering the price of the tour per person is quite little. As there isn’t much to see in Grand Baie thought this would have focused more on food. I would have hoped we would have tried out more street food in Grand baie. The food we did taste were amazing so in this case quality went over quantity.”
