Admire spectacular views of the Trou aux Cerfs volcanic crater, mountain landscapes, cascading waterfalls, the flora and fauna of the island, the Grand Bassin Hindu Temple, and experience a delicious rum tasting.
Start your adventure at your hotel with a convenient pickup service. Depending on the location of your accommodation, you will head to the Trou aux Cerfs crater to see the extinct volcano, now taken over by lush forest. Marvel at indigenous plant species, giant green pines, and be mesmerized by the 360-degree view of the city of Curepipe and the Mountain ranges.
Proceed to the Grand Bassin to explore the Hindu Temple which is surrounded by the crater lake. Learn about the Hindu culture in Mauritius in the presence of the Ganga Talao.
Continue on to the Black River Gorges viewpoint to admire the scenic and panoramic view of the island's southern landscapes and mountains, coupled with the splendid view of the Alexandra Waterfall.
Stop and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant as you savor a 3-course Mauritian meal comprising fresh salads, rice, soups, chicken curry, or fish and vegetables.
Enjoy a final stop at the 7 Colored Earths at Chamarel to see the 100-meter drop waterfall, the highest waterfall in Mauritius.
