Chamarel Geopark, home of Mauritius’ famous Seven Coloured Earths and the Chamarel Waterfall, is a brilliant stop for families because it blends wow-factor scenery with easy, stress-free exploring. Children will enjoy meeting the resident giant tortoises, and the small interpretation area keeps curious minds busy without overwhelming them.

Depuis le site de la Terre des Sept Couleurs, vous aurez l'occasion d'admirer les chutes de Chamarel. Nichées au cœur d'une végétation dense, elles constituent la plus haute cascade d'un seul tenant de l'île Maurice.

Curious Chamarel is a playful, hands-on attraction that turns science into family fun. From the moment you step inside, kids and grown-ups are encouraged to touch, test, and giggle their way through rooms that bend the rules of reality. What makes Curious Corner especially good for families is its blend of learning and laughter. Each illusion hides simple physics and perception tricks, prompting curious “how does that work?” conversations.

The World of Seashells Museum is a great stop for families who like to learn while they explore. Inside, thousands of shells are arranged by shape, colour, and habitat, turning the galleries into a treasure hunt for curious eyes. Exhibits also gently introduce ocean stewardship, prompting great after-visit conversations about responsible shell collecting and marine life.

Note: this beautiful viewpoint is a quick stop (not for swimming) La Prairie Beach is perfect for a short, family-friendly stop. Views of the UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant rise dramatically behind the lagoon, and this is the perfect place to take a family photo!
