Trou aux Cerfs - Discover the southern region of Mauritius with a 7-hour private day tour. The journey begins with a pick-up from any location in Mauritius. The driver/guide will warmly welcome you, and then you’ll embark on your first destination. The tour takes you to Trou Aux Cerfs, a renowned natural attraction in Mauritius. This dormant volcanic crater stands approximately 605 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 350 meters and a depth of about 100 meters. Unlike typical volcanic landscapes, Trou aux Cerfs is encircled by a vast expanse of lush forest, featuring native plant species and towering green pine trees. It is believed that Trou aux Cerfs erupted once and has been dormant for the past 700,000 years, with experts suggesting a potential for future activity. A major highlight is the 360-degree view of Curepipe town and the stunning vistas of Rempart Mountain, Trois Mamelles, and the Port-Louis-Moka Mountain range.
