The excursion begins with 1 hour horse ride along the beautiful beach of Riambel, in the South of the island. After a 30 minute briefing, you'll have the opportunity to ride along a 2.5km stretch of deserted, sandy beach. As you walk along the water’s edge, watch your horse's hooves print fresh tracks in untouched sand, while admiring the turquoise lagoon. Connect with nature, and enjoy the magic of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. All skill levels, from first-time riders to experts, are welcome. Children 4 years and older are welcome. Please note that the maximum weight per rider is 95kg.

You will also be amazed by the tall statue of Shiva and the view from the highest temple. Be sure to watch out for the monkeys and wildlife. Note: It may not be possible to make this stop in the month of February or March as the area is also a pilgrimage site during the festival of Mahashivaratree.

About Port Louis

Port Louis is the capital of Mauritius, a working harbour city with a big central market, a hilltop citadel and a waterfront of shops and cafés.

Port Louis lies on the north-west coast of Mauritius, at the foot of a ring of volcanic peaks. Founded in the 1730s by the French governor Mahé de La Bourdonnais, it is a mix of colonial buildings, mosques, temples and glass towers. The Central Market sells spices, fruit, vanilla and tea, and the Caudan Waterfront has shops, cafés and the Blue Penny Museum, which holds the island's rare early stamps.
