What To Expect
L'Aventure du Sucre
Once lusted after as much as gold, as much sought after as Indian spices, as sweet on the palate as silk is round a woman’s neck, sugar has enjoyed an extraordinary existence, leaving a profound impression on the history and identity of Mauritius. Travelling through the museum, visitors learn about the deeply intertwined history of sugar and Mauritius, how it has all led to the harmonious, smiling and multicultural society it is today.

Good but very overpriced for what it was.

3.00Very interesting and well presented museum but overpriced for what it was, as it was just a museum and only took about 1.5 hours to go round it. Should have been half the price really. The other thing was that we bought a bottle of rum in the shop (not cheap…) and they had nothing to wrap it up with! Ridiculous bearing in mind that most of their customers will be tourists who will need to pack it in their checked baggage going home (too big to put in hand luggage). They just said ‘get the bubble wrap from your hotel’, which I thought was very poor bearing in mind the price of the museum (1200 rupees each) and the rum!
Beautiful discovery

5.00The museum is well organized and tells the history of Mauritius, showing how sugar has marked and continues to mark this Island. At the end, there's a tasting of some varieties of sugar, rum, honey, jams, etc. The staff is very friendly. It's worth the visit!
Very informative museum and excellent restaurant on site

4.00A very informative, albeit old fashioned museum giving information about the history and processing of sugar. There is masses of information to read, if you go to every section and read all the captions. This is definitely not a family activity, there wouldn’t be enough to interest children. At the end you are given lots of sugar samples, a nice idea but perhaps a bit pointless. After this it’s rum tasting, 5 samples. We only had four as we simply could’t tell the difference between them one after the other! No criticisms really, the museum was extremely interesting and the food in the restaurant first rate.

3.00This place explains the entire journey of sugar and its making process. One can also experience rum, honey and sugar tasting in this place. It is a part of the north island trip in mauritius. It is worth an experience.
The world of sugar

4.00Such a huge place with so many informations! It could take the whole day for you to read and explore every corner of the sugar museum. We took the audio guide which is an app that you download via your phone. It leads you throught museum points explaining about Mauritius history, start od sugar production and impact on the social life. At the end od the tour you have a shop where you can taste whole bunch of different kinds of sugar and rum. Enjoy! P.S. it is a perfect activity to do when its a rainy day
Very interesting. Not to miss.

Plan your day, a museum with everything

4.00Visited here whilst on honeymoon as we had been recommended it by a few people. Firstly this place is huge and filled with a lot of information. You could visit here and not need to visit any other museum on the island. With that said though it is a lot of text to read so plan your time wisely as you could spend the day reading absolutely everything. At the end of the museum path is a gift shop and a rum section which we looked forward to however if you’re driving keep in mind you won’t be able to taste them all. We had excellent service by the gentleman at the bar. Would recommend.
A must see

5.00A magnificent place where the history of the island and sugar cane mix. Essential to understand all the stages of sugar but also of rum and the epic of the population. Sugar tasting at the end of the visit, but be careful expensive but also honey and rum
100% recommended.

5.00We visited as part of the scheduled excursion to visit the north of the island. We really liked the factory/museum, the sugar tasting and the rum tasting. We were lucky enough to eat at the factory restaurant and we ate very well.
