16 Day Tour – Dubai, Mauritius & Seychelles

New day, new vibe - travel back in time in Old Dubai! Ready for a throwback? If you want to get away from the glitzy high life, check out the Al Fahidi district in the north of the city. Between sandy colors, narrow alleys and old mud houses, you'll feel like you're in an open-air museum. Dubai shows you its roots here - without any filters. The Al Fahidi Fort (yes, the one with the tower!) takes you directly to the Dubai Museum and gives you a really good insight into what everything looked like before the oil era. And then: boat time! Hop on a water cab across Dubai Creek (costs next to nothing) and cruise over to colorful Deira. Souks that really have everything are waiting there: Gold, spices, fish - and lots of character. Just let yourself drift, you'll be amazed at how many sides Dubai has.

Start the day full of flower power! It gets colorful in the Miracle Garden: over 70,000 m² full of flower sculptures - from hearts to airplanes. Here in Dubai, everything is simply next level. Everything that follows proves this: first the Burj al Arab, one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. Shopping vibes? Dubai Mall is calling - over 1,200 stores plus highlights such as a giant aquarium with a glass tunnel, an ice skating rink, a house of horrors and a real dinosaur skeleton - simply amazing. And the cherry on top of the cream cake! The Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world! Platforms on floors 124, 125 & 148 (optionally bookable, costs extra) offer mega views over the city. And in the evening? Don't miss the Dubai Fountain Show - best enjoyed from the Apple Store terrace on the 1st floor. Pure magic!

Good morning, Dubai! You wake up one last time in the metropolis of millions. What items are still on your Dubai bucket list? Now is the last chance to tick them off. You haven't taken a photo of the Dubai Frame yet? Then let's go - the photo must not be missing from your collection! Is your stomach growling? How about a delicious lunch in one of the many restaurants (optional, payable on site)? Sit back and enjoy the beautiful, almost royal view of the city skyline.
Then it's time to let your driver take you to the airport. Accompanied by the stars, you fly off into the night sky towards Mauritius. Sweet dreams!

When you open your eyes early in the morning, you are still on the plane. You stretch and look out of the window and discover it - an island straight out of a picture book!
Mauritius - one of the most beautiful natural jewels on our planet. Fantastic beaches, mountain peaks, rainforest and waterfalls - all on this little piece of earth! Grab your rental car, step on the gas and head for your accommodation. Once there, it's time to Put your feet up, enjoy the sun and relax. And where better to do that than on the beautiful white sandy beach?

Your spirit of discovery is awakened: What's there to see here? The lodge offers you countless opportunities to explore nature. Grab a stand-up paddleboard or a kayak and set off on the Grand River South East. Pass beautiful mangroves on your way to a majestic waterfall. You know that feeling when you've reached your destination and it's even more beautiful than you thought? Pause for a moment and enjoy the picture-book panorama. Back at your accommodation, you are drawn to the sea - the salty scent in your nose and the soft sand between your toes as you stroll along the beach. Fancy cooling off? If your toes are tingling again after sunbathing in the afternoon, pedal off and explore the mountain landscape on a mountain bike (available to hire free of charge on site). Along the river, you are always surrounded by sugar cane plantations and discover small hidden waterfalls on the way to Mahébourg - that's Mauritius!

You could really get used to your alarm clock of birdsong and the sound of water - what's on the agenda today? How about authentic vibes, local produce and lively city life? Jump into your rental car - Mahébourg's hustle and bustle beckons you on a tour of discovery. Visit the market, which offers all kinds of exotic street food, and soak up the genuine, colorful life of Mauritius. You can already see Lion Mountain from the city's promenade - do you recognize the lion's silhouette? If you would like to pay a visit to the king of the animals, lace up your hiking boots and walk over his back right up to his head. Even if the hike costs you a bead or two of sweat - the effort is worth it! Once you reach the top, a unique panorama and a magical moment await you: your gaze wanders over the entire east coast to the turquoise blue sea and glistening white sandy beaches. Wow! Would you rather work on your complexion and have a really good time on the beach? Then head on to the beautiful Pointe d'Esny beach. Mauritius has something for everyone.

Looking for a contrasting program? No problem, Port Louis is calling! The island's capital is literally pulsating with life and lures you into its alleyways full of colorful delicacies and must-sees. Your motto: always follow your nose! At the Central Market, you can get everything your heart desires, from fresh fruit to wild spice blends that will conjure up the taste of Mauritius on your tongue. Be sure to try it: Pineapple with salt and chili! Sounds unusual, but tastes heavenly! Your next stop: the small coastal town of Flic en Flac. Walk along the palm-lined promenades down to the beach and plop down on the first sun lounger you come across. Enjoy the sound of the waves, the warmth of the sun on your cheeks and the feeling of timelessness in your own personal paradise. Even the most beautiful paradise has to say goodbye at some point - but not without a stopover at the impressive Tamarind Falls!

The best thing about Mauritius: despite its small size, the island combines many natural phenomena. See for yourself today! You decide where to go: at the island's holiest Hindu temple, the Grand Bassin, also known as Ganga Talao, you look directly at a huge statue of Shiva. The lake behind it, which according to legend contains healing water, is surrounded by majestic statues of gods - simply impressive! Or is the Black River Gorges National Park on your bucket list? You shouldn't miss the view from the Gorges Viewpoint in particular! Do you prefer colorful instead of green? Stand at the top of the platform in La Vallee des Couleurs Nature Park and you'll be overwhelmed: In the middle of dense forest lies a rainbow-colored sand dune - the "Seven Colored Earth". What a sight! Another must-see on the island: the Chamarel Waterfall. The natural masses of water plunge into the depths here as if painted.

Today we are heading to the Seychelles, more precisely to the island of Mahé. Hand over your rental car at the airport and take to the skies. After experiencing and doing so much, you can now treat yourself to some well-deserved time out. And the beautiful sandy beaches of Mahé are just what you need! You will be picked up at the airport and taken to your next special accommodation.
Spend a few relaxing beach days on the Seychelles' largest island. Longing to relax and cool off in the sea? Nothing could be easier: on Mahé, one dream beach beats the next! On a headland in the southwest of the island, you will find Anse Soleil and Petite Anse, two sandy beaches that are hard to beat in terms of beauty. Dive into the gentle waters of the Indian Ocean and let yourself be carried away by the tropical vibe. Toast to the adventures ahead with a delicious cocktail at your accommodation - cheers!

A must-do that should definitely not be missing from your Seychelles bucket list: a trip to Sainte Anne Marine National Park! And what's the best way to get there? In classic island style, you hop on one of the many boats that depart daily from Victoria's harbor in the direction of adventure (optional, payable locally). Full speed ahead! The unique marine reserve makes your long-awaited snorkeling dreams come true and takes you between the islands of Sainte Anne, Cerf, Long Round and Moyenne into a colourful underwater world (national park fee payable locally). The variety and quantity of colorful fish and other sea creatures is overwhelming! A big plus: your chances of encountering eagle rays, seahorses and sea turtles are extremely good here! So, what are you waiting for? Put on some sunscreen, grab your snorkeling goggles and dive into the colourful reef!

All day beach day is all well and good, but Mahé doesn't just have beautiful beaches and an enchanting underwater world to offer. Today you are drawn to the green side of the island towards the mangroves and mountain forests - a trip to the Morne Seychellois National Park is just what you need! You can explore the extensive park on numerous hiking trails. On the Sans Soucis Road, which runs through the national park, is the Trois Frères Trail, which leads up to the Trois Frères, the second highest point on Mahé. Past the carnivorous pitcher plants and exotic flowers, you follow the path through the dense jungle until you reach a huge granite rock that offers you a great view of Victoria and the small islands off the coast. Still haven't seen enough? Then hop on a bus at sunset (optional, payable locally) and drive past picturesque villages through untouched nature to Cap Lazare, a stretch of beach with sparkling turquoise water. What a view!

The smallest capital city in the world has simply taken your fancy, so hop on the bus (optional, payable locally) and head towards Victoria! Past colorful facades, shutters and balustrades, you drift through the streets that smell of exotic spices. Experience the tropical side of the island on a walk through the Botanical Gardens. With a bit of luck, you might even spot a few giant tortoises leisurely going about their business. Back in the city, you will notice the colorful street art that shines out at you from everywhere. The artistically designed stained glass windows of St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral are a particular highlight - every window is a perfect postcard motif! And while you're strolling along the waterfront at the end, you'll start to feel your stomach rumbling. Take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the local specialities in the nearest restaurant: fresh seafood, spicy curry and kat kat banana are waiting to delight your taste buds!

After the island adventures of the past few days, you've really earned some time out on the beach! Which beach you choose for today's idleness is entirely up to you. You still have the West Coast Road in your head and here you will find Baie Lazare, a stretch of beach with turquoise waters like no other. But beware: at high tide, the beach virtually disappears completely. If it's not low tide, you don't have to bury your head in the sand. Just a few kilometers away, you'll find Anse Takamaka, a sandy beach that many consider to be the most beautiful of all Mahé's beaches - and how extensive it is ... Are you missing the granite rocks typical of the Seychelles? Then head to Anse Intendance, which not only has the finest sand, but also the famous smooth rock formations - Seychelles at their best! In the warming sun, on the gentle beach, listening to the sound of the waves, you can reflect on everything you've experienced - it's hard to believe everything you've seen!

Today is the day: the last day on your island paradise has begun and you're not going to let it go to waste! What do you feel like doing today? Relax again and soak up the sun so that you can take a good portion home with you or explore a completely different corner of the island and plunge into the lush greenery once more? Enjoy the island vibes to the full before heading home. As you wave goodbye to the islands once again, countless images of the islands packed with natural wonders, picturesque beaches and colorful cities will be buzzing around in your head. What an adventure!

You arrive back home with a smile on your face and a tear in your eye and can hardly wait to tell your friends and family about all your adventures!
