Highlights
  • Trou aux Cerfs - Begin your 7-8 hours southwest scenic tour with a hotel pick-up anywhere in Mauritius. You will meet & be greeted by our certified guide and after boarding to your comfortable vehicle, then set off for your first stop. 

You’ll be heading to Trou Aux Cerfs which is one of the famous natural tourist attractions in Mauritius. The dormant volcanic crater is around 605 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 350 meters & a depth of around 100 meters.

Unlike the typical volcanic features, Trou aux Cerfs’ crater is surrounded by a vast area of lush forest consisting of indigenous plant species and some giant green pine trees. It is believed that the Trou aux Cerfs erupted once and has remained dormant for the last 700 000 years; experts believe that there is a potential chance for it to become active again.

Definitely, one of the main highlights is the 360-degree view of the town, Curepipe & the majestic view of Rempart Mountain, Trois Mamelles, and the Port-Louis- Moka mountain range.

Additional Information

On this 8-hour private expedition across the South-Western landscape of Mauritius, you will start by visiting the inactive Trou Aux Cerfs volcano - a favourite among tourists - and Mare Aux Vacoas Reservoir where you will be greeted with an amazing view of the lake.

The journey continues to Grand Bassin where you can observe the crater lake and marvel at the massive statue of Lord Shiva. Hereafter, you’ll proceed to the impressive Alexandra falls that promises a unique encounter with nature, serene waterfalls and a profound valley. Next, make a stop at the Gorge Viewpoint to take in the breathtaking and distinct beauty of local flora & fauna.

Later in the day, you’ll be treated to a traditional Mauritius 3-course feast before delving into the Rum-making processes at Rhumerie de Chamarel. The journey goes on to the Seven Colored Earth, noteworthy for its sand with variations of hues.

You’ll then visit the striking Chamarel waterfall, touted as the tallest single-drop waterfall, followed by a trip to the Chamarel viewpoint. Your adventure concludes at the Maconde viewpoint where you’ll feel as if you’re in the heart of the ocean.

Well put together tour, amazing sights - A great day and really well put together tour. Manu was happy to answer all our questions and was super flexible, going out of his way to make our trip the best it could be. We went on a pretty rainy day, but actually it made several of the sights all the more impressive. Thanks Manu 🙂

An amazing exploration of the south. - It was an amazing day, visiting many different locations. Tour guide Agi showed us all the special spots where we best could experience all the breathtaking views. Weather was not on our side but thanks to the tour guide that borrowed us an umbrella, we could enjoy all the memorable moments.

Perfect start to the holiday - Excellent trip, where Agi provided lots of background information not only about the site’s visited but also life in Mauritius. He also demonstrated that he was a very driver given the tree clearing operations taking place following the recent stormy weather.

Natural Beauty of South West Mauritius - This was a day trip to give us an overview of the natural beauty of Mauritius. We visited many different sites on our whistle stop tour. The day had been planned well by our guide Mangesh. We were collected at the arranged time and the sights were well chosen. It was a very full but wonderful day with memorable experiences.
