Description

Experience the scenic beauty, culture, and natural wonders of Mauritius’ South West on this full-day guided adventure. From volcanic craters and sacred lakes to rum tastings and optical illusions, this tour reveals the very essence of the island’s tropical charm. Trou aux Cerfs Volcano Begin your day with a convenient hotel pick-up anywhere in Mauritius. Meet your certified guide and set off for Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcanic crater about 605 meters above sea level. With a diameter of 350 meters and a depth of 100 meters, it offers a sweeping panoramic view of the island’s central plateau and mountain ranges. Mare aux Vacoas Reservoir Continue to Mare aux Vacoas, Mauritius’ largest freshwater reservoir. Surrounded by dense forest, this peaceful lake reflects the serenity and untouched beauty of the island’s southern highlands. Ganga Talao (Grand Bassin) Journey to the sacred Ganga Talao, a tranquil crater lake nestled at 550 meters above sea level. Dotted with temples and shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and other deities, it’s the spiritual heart of the island and a must-see cultural landmark. Alexandra Falls & Black River Gorges Viewpoint Venture into the Black River Gorges National Park and stop at Alexandra Falls, surrounded by the misty cloud forest of Mount Cocotte. Admire the scenic waterfall and enjoy the Gorges Viewpoint, where sweeping vistas of the island’s lush valleys and forests unfold before you. Chamarel Viewpoint Head toward Chamarel Viewpoint, a peaceful spot offering panoramic views of Chamarel village and the coastline below — perfect for photos and quiet reflection. Rhumerie de Chamarel Continue to the Rhumerie de Chamarel, one of Mauritius’ most famous rum distilleries. Nestled amid sugarcane fields and tropical gardens, this elegant estate showcases the art of rum-making — from fermentation to distillation. Enjoy a guided visit and rum tasting, discovering the flavors that make Mauritian rum world-renowned. Curious Corner of Chamarel Right opposite the Rhumerie lies the Curious Corner of Chamarel, a fun and interactive house of optical illusions. Explore rooms that challenge your senses with mirrors, mazes, and mind-bending visual tricks — a delight for both adults and children. Mauritian Lunch Enjoy a three-course Mauritian lunch at a local restaurant. Relish a variety of island flavors — fresh salads, soups, rice, and your choice of chicken curry or fish and vegetables, lovingly prepared with local spices and hospitality. Seven Colored Earth & Waterfall Discover the famous Chamarel Seven Colored Earth, a spectacular natural phenomenon of rainbow-hued sand dunes formed by volcanic activity. Nearby, marvel at the Chamarel Waterfall, plunging over 100 meters amid dense tropical vegetation — a breathtaking sight and one of the island’s most iconic landmarks. Return to your hotel in comfort after a day filled with discovery, natural wonders, and the beauty of the South West.
