Explore the stunning south of Mauritius on a full-day guided tour that blends nature, culture, and adventure. Enjoy hotel pickup in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, with a professional driver-guide—and a lady driver available on request for travelers who prefer this option. Begin your journey with a scenic drive through lush landscapes as your guide shares insights into the island’s history and geography.
Your first stop is Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcano offering panoramic views of Curepipe and its surrounding towns. Walk along the crater rim, take in the dramatic scenery, and capture unforgettable photos of this natural wonder. Continue to Mare aux Vacoas, one of Mauritius’ largest reservoirs, where calm waters and serene greenery create a peaceful atmosphere.
Next, visit Ganga Talao (Grand Bassin), a sacred Hindu lake and temple complex nestled in the highlands. Admire the towering statues, wander the temple grounds, and experience the deep spiritual significance of this revered site. The tour then leads you to Alexandra Falls, where cascading waters drop into a lush valley, followed by the Black River Gorges Viewpoint, offering sweeping views of dense forests and untouched natural beauty.
Your adventure continues at the Rhumerie de Chamarel, a traditional rum distillery surrounded by sugarcane fields. Enjoy a guided tour to learn about the transformation of sugarcane into artisanal rum, followed by an optional tasting of locally crafted varieties. Afterward, explore the famous 7 Colored Earths of Chamarel, a unique geological formation displaying layers of vibrant red, brown, violet, and yellow sands. Alternatively, you may opt for the 23 Colored Earths Adventure Park, offering additional colors, viewpoints, and immersive outdoor activities.
The day concludes with a visit to Le Morne Beach, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set against the majestic Le Morne Brabant mountain. Depending on timing, relax on the soft white sand, swim in the turquoise lagoon, or simply enjoy the breathtaking scenery before your return transfer. (optional due to time)
