• Trou aux Cerfs - Discover the southern part of Mauritius on a 7-hour private day tour. The journey starts with a pick-up from any location in Mauritius. You’ll meet our driver/guide and set off for your first destination. Your first stop is Trou Aux Cerfs, a renowned natural attraction in Mauritius. This dormant volcanic crater stands about 605 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 350 meters and a depth of around 100 meters. Unlike typical volcanic features, the crater is encircled by a vast forest of indigenous plants and giant green pine trees. It is believed that Trou aux Cerfs erupted once and has been dormant for the last 700,000 years, with experts suggesting it could become active again. One of the main highlights is the 360-degree view of Curepipe town and the majestic 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’s a popular stop for tourists exploring the south of the island. Though not as extravagant as other attractions, Mare aux Vacoas is a hidden gem nestled between thick forests. It’s an ideal spot to spend a few relaxing minutes away from the hustle and bustle. The reservoir also offers a stunning view worth capturing.
• Grand Bassin - A short drive will take you to Grand Bassin, also known as Ganga Talao, a crater lake about 550 meters above sea level in the mountainous southwest of Mauritius. On the shoreline, you’ll find a temple and several small shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and other gods. The site features a gigantic 33-meter-high statue of Lord Shiva, the tallest statue in Mauritius. Ganga Talao attracts many visitors who come to pray, meditate, or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The lake is about 18 meters deep and teems with fish and eels.
• Black River Gorges National Park - Next, head to Gorge Viewpoint for a stunning panoramic view of the endless green landscape. The park spans nearly 17,000 acres of unspoiled rainforest, rolling hills, deep valleys, spectacular waterfalls, and diverse flora and fauna. The viewpoint offers a breathtaking view of a waterfall and a unique ambiance with souvenir stalls along the path. You might even encounter a group of welcoming monkeys. The Black River Gorges Nature Reserve was established to preserve the island’s natural vegetation and is one of Mauritius’ most important sights, protecting much of the remaining rainforest and its wildlife.
• Alexandra Falls - Your 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. Hidden in the deep jungle of the Black River Gorges, Alexandra Falls is like a scene from a movie. The lush greenery, local bird species, and other creatures create a perfect setting for relaxation. Don’t miss the chance to capture the panoramic view of the South Coast with its turquoise ocean. The surroundings promise tranquility and peacefulness, making it one of the best places to visit in Mauritius.
• Bassin Blanc - The scenic route to Bassin Blanc offers a breathtaking journey through Mauritius’ lush forests. The road winds through dense vegetation, providing stunning views of the island’s natural beauty. A dramatic 180-degree bend adds to the exhilarating experience. The dense forest canopy creates a sense of serenity, with glimpses of vibrant wildlife like birds and small mammals.
