All things are bright and awe-inspiring from the viewpoints!

Our tour expert has combined some of the most breathtaking spots so you can experience the best of the Wild South West of Mauritius. Witness awe-inspiring views from the viewpoints dotted on the coast and taste our authentic Mauritian cuisine at one of the most famous restaurants.

Don’t forget your camera and enjoy the very best of nature that the Island has to offer.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
The peaceful surrounding of Alexandra Falls offers a feel of the island’s past as it’s sheltered with a rich and untouched rainforest with around 200 species of trees, species, shrubs, plants and wildlife. Unwind with your loved ones as you listen to the falls from a distance comforted by melodious sounds.
2.
Located on one of the highest parts of the National Park, is a viewpoint which is sure to take your breath away as you gaze towards the valley rich with bright green vegetation along with the occasional majestic Paille En Queue, which happens to be the national bird of Mauritius, gliding merrily about in its home.
3.
The rhumerie of Chamarel has been making its best-selling rum products at its own distillery since 2008. They grow their own sugarcane, which are subsequently harvested by hand and carefully selected for the production of the Chamarel white and old rums. Freshly harvested sugarcane is transferred within four hours to the distillery to preserve its freshness and aromas. Visitors will have the opportunity to observe the distilling process before they taste some of the finest rum, some of which is carefully purified by a special process using the cognac method, which makes it a unique product full of aromas.
4.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at ‘L’Alchimiste’ restaurant that specializes in a unique cuisine, prepared with local products sourced from the estate itself. (Located at Chamarel Rhumerie)
5.
Flowing in the Black River Gorges and originating from the river of St. Denis, the Chamarel Waterfall is the highest one on the island falling from a height of about 83m. You will love the unforgettable visit to the Chamarel Waterfall with its breathtaking location surrounded by lush landscape.
6.
Renowned as being the most popular tourist attraction of the whole island, the Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel is an essential on the list of anyone visiting Mauritius. Origination of volcanic basalt rocks, the rain and sun transformed them into the clay minerals they are today. Due to weather conditions, the rain washed away any water soluble substance leaving only compounds which give the soil its unique colour. The different quantity of these coloured compounds is what results in the soils to have distinctly different colours. What is even more impressive is if you mix the 7 earths together, they will end up separating and re-joining their unique colour.
7.
The Chamarel Viewpoint is a family friendly spot for you to get an amazing panoramic view of the whole chamarel village laid beneath your eyes. We recommend you to bring along a pair of sunglasses and a camera, in order to capture the splendid view of the green hilly region as well as an aerial view of Ile Aux Benitiers.
8.
Our next stop will take us back in time with a visit to ‘Martello Tower’ located on the beach of La Preneuse. The Martello tower was constructed under the British rule of Mauritius as a means of locating any invaders from far and to protect the beach. In the 90s, the tower was converted into a museum demonstrating the weapons which were being used by the British Empire. *On this tour, Martello Tower Museum visit will be on Wednesday and Friday only. During closure, a photo stop will be made instead.
9.
The last place in Mauritius to produce salt by the traditional method, the Tamarin Salt Pans is a place rich in local culture and history. Although all the current modern methods of producing salt, Tamarin salt pans still account for about a third of the salt produced in Mauritius. The salt water is pumped from the sea into large basins covering an area of 30 hectares where they are then left to evaporate. In the early mornings and evenings, experienced workers come and collect the salt cubes before they are crushed into smaller pieces if needed and packaged for use.
10.
Located on the west coast of Mauritius, the lighthouse of Albion is an extremely popular destination amongst many tourists as well as locals. Although the lighthouse itself is not open to the public, it is still worthwhile to feast your eyes on one of the rare lighthouses on the island. Several meters after the lighthouse, you will find a viewpoint over the sea to the left of Mauritius. Watch calmly as the strong waves hit the rocks and sprinkle fine drops of water all over the place. Spend a few minutes taking in the natural calm and serenity of the whole setting of this special place.

We enjoyed a whole day all inclusive outing to South West of Mauritius Island. We were met by our most amicable guide for the day a real knowledgeable polyglot and the taxi driver equally talented linguist and safe driver! We enjoyed the day fully packed sight seeing. First we visited a shop that sold many varieties of different flavoured Rums even a bottle with a dodo within! It was a pleasant rum tasting experience. This shop was very elegant well stocked with local merchandise most tempting unusual cushion covers with dodos long since sadly extinct! Scarves, t shirts, dresses, shorts, shirts, swimwear, nik naks and more. We then visited the Hindu Temple Ganga Talau with Nandi Bull and other impressive Deity Statues as well as the sacred lake with waters from the Ganges River. We received the blessing on the forehead as well as the red cotton thread blessing from the Sanyasi . Within the Temple we received another blessing on the forehead Tilak. The hoot of this visit for me was seeing the several cats watching fish swimming tantalisingly close to them so cute! The next visit was to the amazing model boat making factory in which local artisans displayed their craft of so many varieties of vessels all accurately created in varying model sizes. Our guide and some workers were amazed and delighted as we were too on seeing the Amerigo Vespucci model and our photos of us having actually been invited to visit this very same life size training Clipper. This was followed by a tea tasting we felt so honoured as the Late Queen Elizabeth II had done amongst other famous world leaders. Suitably refreshed after delicious leaf tea tasting we headed for the lunch at the Avalon Golf Course. This was a real treat a served lunch Nouvelle Cuisine Style but with generous portions and artistically very beautifully presented. Earlier we had visited the Trou aux Cerfs extinct Volcano 2 million year old crater which we viewed in safety from a viewing platform .We then visited the Three Gorges National Park with the double waterfall, the 7 coloured earth, the pond with the congregation of giant turtles some seemingly burying their heads in the earth ready for hibernation maybe. The day ended with a welcome visit to a rum factory and more rum tasting most deliciously flavoured Rums also a new departure of various rum flavoured jams. Then a long drive back to our Hotel feeling tired, happy and relaxed as we drove through beautiful scenery mountainous planes, fields of cane sugar, tea plantations, and more.

We had a superb day out with our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Sandeep. He was flexible and planned the day to arrive at specific places at the best times. A proud Mauritian, he was keen to show us his country and conveyed extensive knowledge on everything from culture to food and wildlife.

Some of the roads in Mauritius are very tight with sharp turns. This can be uncomfortable for people who may suffer from travel sickness.

Overall, we thoroughly recommend this trip, especially if you want to get out of the resort and see Mauritius.

Also, the inclusive lunch at the Chamerel rhumerie is superb. The chicken and prawn curry is very nice.

We booked this trip mainly on the reviews on tripadvisor and we were not disappointed, but it actually exceeded our expectations.
Avi picked us up at our hotel, he explained the itinerary for the day and checked what we would like to see. We set off, stopping at various stops and photo viewpoints along the way.
His knowledge and passion of Mauritius comes across throughout the day, it’s like spending a day with a new friend.
We stopped at Rhumerie De Chamarel for some rum tasting and a 3 course lunch.
So, if finally I can give you some advice, it is to just book a tour with Unwind Mauritius, you will have a fabulous day out taking home many memories of beautiful Mauritius 🇲🇺

Our day with Avi and Jaya was amazing! If you’re coming to Mauritius, do yourself a favor and book a tour with them on your first full day. He is effortlessly knowledgeable about everything Mauritius. He started the day by understanding what our groups interests were. He then came up with a tour that would hit the things we would be most interested in. Also plan to leave a couple days of your trip open because Avi was able to help us plan the rest of our days to make sure we were maximizing our time. I can’t recommended Avi and his tours enough!!

We had an amazing trip with our amazing guide, Avi! We ate street food which was a delight and recommend everyone to taste. The shipbuilding factory was one of the highlights including seven coloured sands and Chamarel distillery.

Our lovely guides showed off this part of their magical island - including Mountain and ocean views, temples, and lunch at the rum distillery. A lot packed in without feeling rushed. Very nice car, we had a lovely day. They have a deep understanding of their island and culture and we loved hearing the stories.
