- Trou aux Cerfs - Discover the southern region of Mauritius with a 7-hour private day tour. The journey starts with a pick-up from any location in Mauritius. The driver/guide will warmly welcome you, and then you’ll embark on your adventure. The first destination is 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 highlight of this site is the 360-degree view of Curepipe town and the stunning vistas of Rempart Mountain, Trois Mamelles, and the Port-Louis-Moka Mountain range.
- Mare aux Vacoas - Next, visit the Mare Aux Vacoas reservoir, the largest on the island, with a capacity of nearly 26 million cubic meters. It is a popular stop for tourists exploring the island’s southern region. While it may not be as extravagant as other attractions in Mauritius, Mare aux Vacoas is a hidden gem nestled among dense forests. It offers a peaceful retreat from the usual hustle and bustle, with a view that is truly worth capturing.
- Grand Bassin - A short drive will take you to Grand Bassin, also known as Ganga Talao, a crater lake situated about 550 meters above sea level in the mountainous southwest of Mauritius. Along the lake’s shore, you’ll find a temple and several small shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and other deities. Visitors to this sacred site are often captivated by the enormous statue of Lord Shiva, which stands 33 meters tall, making it the tallest statue in Mauritius. Ganga Talao attracts many visitors who come to pray, meditate, or simply enjoy a walk by the lake, taking in the beautiful surroundings. The lake is approximately 18 meters deep and is home to a thriving population of fish and eels.
- Alexandra Falls - The next stop is Alexandra Falls, where you can admire the cloud forest of Mt Cocotte and the waterfall, along with views of the south coast. If you are a waterfall enthusiast, this is a must-see! Alexandra Falls is nestled in the dense jungle of the Black River Gorges and resembles a scene from a movie. Exploring this enchanting setting is a truly unique experience. The sound of cascading water, surrounded by lush greenery and the calls of local birds and wildlife, creates a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. Don’t miss the opportunity to capture the panoramic view of the South Coast with its turquoise ocean. The area around the falls offers a real jungle book experience, promising tranquility and peace while you enjoy one of Mauritius’s top attractions.
- Black River Gorges National Park - The tour continues to Gorge Viewpoint, where you’ll be treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of endless green landscapes. In the pristine rainforest of Mauritius, you’ll find nearly 17,000 acres of rolling hills, deep valleys, spectacular waterfalls, and unparalleled flora and fauna in the southwestern region. The height of the viewing area above the gorge is truly impressive. To the right of the viewpoint, a stunning waterfall can be seen. The path leading to the viewpoint has its own unique charm, with souvenir stalls along the way. You might even encounter a group of monkeys that greet you as a friendly welcome. The Black River Gorges Nature Reserve was established to preserve the island’s natural vegetation and is one of Mauritius’s most significant sights. The park protects most of the island’s remaining rainforest and is home to numerous species of wildlife and birds.
- Bassin Blanc - The scenic route to Bassin Blanc in Mauritius offers a breathtaking journey through the island’s lush forests. The road winds through dense vegetation, providing stunning views of Mauritius’s natural beauty. A highlight of the road is an almost 180-degree bend, offering a dramatic and exhilarating experience for travelers. The photography of this scenic route captures the essence of Mauritius’s natural beauty. The dense forest creates a canopy of greenery over the road, offering a sense of serenity and tranquility. Tall trees and thick underbrush provide glimpses of vibrant wildlife, with birds chirping and small mammals scurrying in the undergrowth.
- La Vallee des Couleurs - Conclude your adventure with a final stop at La Vallee des Couleurs in Chamouny, where the 23 Colored Earth marvel awaits, along with a variety of local activities. La Vallee des Couleurs Reserve is home to diverse species of flora and fauna and is an excellent place to enjoy nature trips and fun activities.
