Explore the Best of Mauritius: Guided Full Day Tour in Car｜Mauritius

Begin with a scenic drive to Trou aux Cerfs, the dormant volcanic crater near Curepipe, offering panoramic views across the island. Walk along the rim with your guide, who will share stories about Mauritius’ volcanic origins.

Continue toward Bois Chéri Tea Plantation, where you’ll take a short guided visit through lush tea fields and taste freshly brewed Mauritian tea with a view of endless greenery — a local favorite rarely included in standard day tours.

Next, visit the sacred Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao), a revered Hindu pilgrimage site surrounded by statues and serene waters. Your guide will share cultural stories about Hindu traditions and why this spot holds deep spiritual meaning for locals.

From here, head to Black River Gorges National Park. Instead of just stopping at viewpoints, take a short guided forest walk where you may spot endemic birds like the Mauritius kestrel.

Enjoy a relaxed local lunch in Chamarel village (at your own expense) where you’ll get to try Creole flavors in a small family-run restaurant.

After lunch, marvel at the Chamarel Seven Colored Earths and the nearby waterfall, capturing the natural beauty unique to this region.

For something special, your day continues with a visit to a traditional fishing village near La Gaulette. Walk through narrow lanes, meet local fishermen, and see how traditional pirogues (wooden boats) are made. This authentic stop is almost never included in mainstream itineraries.

Finally, end your day with a peaceful stroll at Le Morne Peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Your guide will share stories of the mountain’s history as a refuge for enslaved people, giving cultural depth before you relax on the sandy beach at sunset.

Return comfortably to your hotel in your private AC car.
