A riot of colour welcomes you to the glorious isle of Mauritius, where you have ample time to explore breathtaking mountains and waterfalls; swim in blue lagoons and savour its unique island culture.
Mysteries of the Mascarenes Cruise
On neighbouring La Réunion, where you spend two days, you can tour through ancient forest to the active volcanoes of Piton de la Fournaise, before relaxing from your adventures with two days at sea. Next comes perfumed Nosy Bé, with time for an optional boat trip to see the black lemur of tiny Nosy Komba, before cruising back to Mombasa via the coral island of Mayotte and exotic Zanzibar.
