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 in 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.

South-West of Mauritius Private Full-Day Scenic Tour - Had a great day with Mevin - who texted us in Whatsapp to confirm everything before we got off the ship at Mauritius port. Mevin was super flexible with the itinerary but made sure we didn't miss anything. Great to see everything but avoid the masses. Lunch was awesome, views spectacular and company excellent. Now we we to book Mevin to see the north !

Disappointing trip and overpriced - The weather was poor so couldn't see much. Was disappointed in the guide as he stayed in the car and just pointed to where we should go. Also trip was a lot shorter than advertised. Poor value for money.
