Description
Begin your adventure with a private pickup from your hotel or Airbnb. Head to Grand Bassin, a sacred volcanic crater lake situated 550 meters above sea level. As the most holy Hindu site on the island, it features temples, shrines, and massive 33-meter statues of Lord Shiva and Durga Maa. This crater lake features towering trees, abundant wildlife, and numerous statues and sacred temples that perform daily worship ceremonies.
Next, visit Bassin Blanc, a serene, secluded crater lake situated in the mountainous Savanne district of Southern Mauritius. This area is a former volcano crater rich in biodiversity and endemic plants, offering scenic, natural, and mysterious views surrounded by dense forest.
Continue your exploration with a visit to the 23 Coloured Earth, a natural, multi-hued geological phenomenon located at La Valley des Couleurs Nature Park. Created by the erosion of volcanic ash over millions of years, the sand dunes display 23 distinct colors, including red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow. Take part in popular activities at your own expense, such as quad biking, ziplining (including a 1.5 km line), traversing the thrilling longest Nepalese bridge in the Indian Ocean, and luge karts.
Next, head to Gris Gris Beach, a rugged, scenic, and non-swimming beach on the southern tip of Mauritius near Souillac, known for its dramatic black basalt cliffs, powerful, untamed waves, and the famous La Roche Qui Pleure (The Crying Rock). Unlike the calm, reef-protected lagoons elsewhere on the island, this area has no coral reef, making it a popular spot for scenic photography and coastal cliff-top walks.
Finally, conclude your journey by discovering the charm of Saint Aubin Rh Distillery, a historic estate in southern Mauritius. Explore how traditional agricultural rum is made from fresh sugarcane, stroll through tropical gardens, and enjoy a tasting of locally crafted rums infused with island flavors.
