Visit Mauritius - We visited the South of Mauritius by private taxi and it was an incredible day! I invite you to contact Harish Hurbunsee 0023057530597! Visit of the Sacred Lake, of Chamarel via roads that he knows by heart, we had lunch in a Saveurs Otentik restaurant, very good cuisine and Mauritian cuisine. I wanted to buy real vanilla from Mauritius and find local crafts, he took me to Dodo craft in Phoenix, great service and not at all a tourist trap. A thousand thanks Katia and Didier

Perfect - Our visit was punctuated by poses and magnificent views!! We couldn't do Chamarel because the road was blocked but everything we visited already kept us busy for the day. The restaurant was super good!! It was just the 2 of us with our guide, Rishi, who I highly recommend!! He was very interesting and also gave us moments for two. A perfect rhythm between intimate moments and very interesting explanations with our guide which made for an excellent day!! We recommend ++++

A great day out - The coloured earth was something to see you won't see anywhere else. The Hindu temple on the lake was very interesting. Our guild was excellent informative and knowledgeable.

A good day out - This is an efficient way to see most of the main sights on the island. The road to Black river gorges is closed so we substituted that stop with La Vallée des Couleurs, which was a lot of fun.

Nice overall tour - We were picked up from the cruise terminal for this private tour. We didn't get to go to Chameral geo park because of road closures. Instead we went to Valles des Couleurs Park which I thought was just a tourist trap. We had the entrance fee paid but then they tried to sell additional activities such as jeep rides, ATVs, ziplining, etc. We just wanted to see the colored rocks so we walked there and back. It was not impressive. The lunch was good and we were able to spend time watching the waves. Our guide was good and made sure we got to the airport on time for our flight.

Good - But not what it says ! - The driver was great. But we went to different places from the itinerary ! This was a bit confusing. However the service offered was still fantastic, just not what it says !

tour unfortunately not as described - Unfortunately, the trip was not as described. It started with a taciturn driver, whose name we still don't know, in the oldest broken car. No water for the passengers (as described in the offer) He simply let us get out at the sights and waited until we came back. We didn't learn anything about the country or the people. As the road to the 7 colored earth was closed from this side, we were offered to see the 23 colored earth. Unfortunately, we had to pay an extra charge of 20 euros per person. We don't think that's right.

Unable to properly appreciate - We recently used this tour with Paradise in Your Palms that focused primarily on visiting the Chamarel Waterfall. However, we were informed that the road to the 7 Colored Rock area is currently closed, and the itinerary was subsequently changed. Prior to the tour, another agency had warned us that some operators may alter their itineraries to visit the 7 Colored Rock due to a lack of licenses, which seems what happened with our tour. Furthermore, the package advertised a guide, but we were accompanied by a driver who dropped us off at various locations and allowed us to explore on our own. He often seemed impatient and restless, rushing us through each site. At the end of the tour, he became argumentative, stating that his working hours had finished and he needed to go home, while we were still waiting to collating our photos from photographer.
