WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Start your 7-8 hour tour in the southwest of Mauritius. We'll pick you up at your hotel. You'll meet our guide, hop into a comfy vehicle, and head to your first stop, Trou Aux Cerfs. It's a famous natural attraction - a dormant volcano. It's 605 meters above sea level, 350 meters wide, and about 100 meters deep. Unlike most volcanoes, it's surrounded by lush forest with native plants and giant pine trees. Experts think it erupted long ago and has been quiet for about 700,000 years, but there's a chance it could wake up. The best part? You'll get a 360-degree view of Curepipe, Rempart Mountain, Trois Mamelles, and the Port-Louis-Moka mountain range.
2.
Next, we'll go to Mare Aux Vacoas reservoir, the island's biggest, holding almost 26 million cubic meters of water. It's a popular spot for tourists in the south of the island, nestled in thick forests. While not as fancy as other attractions in Mauritius, it's a hidden gem. It's a great place to take a short break from the usual busyness of the country. The reservoir also offers an amazing view that's perfect for photos.
3.
Next, we'll head to Ganga Talao, also called Grand Bassin, a crater lake in the mountainous Southwest of Mauritius, about 550 meters above sea level. On the shore, there's a temple and small shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and other gods. When you visit this sacred place, you'll be amazed by the huge statue of Lord Shiva, which stands 33 meters tall, the tallest statue in Mauritius. Don't worry, though, Lord Shiva is smiling and peaceful. Ganga Talao is a popular spot in Mauritius where people come to pray, meditate, or simply enjoy the beautiful views. The lake is about 18 meters deep and home to a variety of fish.
4.
Our next stop is Alexandra Falls, located about 700 meters above sea level. It's one of the most famous natural sites in Mauritius, and you've probably seen its pictures on postcards or in videos showcasing the beauty of the island. Alexandra Falls is not just known for its stunning beauty but also for the unique nature experience it offers. When you're there, don't miss the chance to capture the panoramic view of the turquoise ocean on the South-East Coast with your camera. You can climb up a wooden platform to get the best view. To your right, you'll see Alexandra Falls, resembling a serene white stream flowing over rocky formations. You'll also have a bird's-eye view of Mauritius's lush green valley, home to many unique bird species and plants. It's a soothing sight for sore eyes.
5.
Next, we'll visit the Gorge Viewpoint, where you'll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of lush green landscapes. In the pristine rainforests of Mauritius, there are nearly 17,000 acres of rolling hills, deep valleys, stunning waterfalls, and an exceptional array of plants and wildlife in the southwest. You'll be amazed at how high the viewing area is above the gorge. To the right of the viewpoint, you'll see a mesmerizing waterfall. The path leading to the viewpoint has a unique atmosphere and some souvenir stalls. The Black River Gorges Nature Reserve was created to preserve the island's natural vegetation, making it one of Mauritius' most significant attractions. This national park safeguards much of the remaining rainforest on the island and is home to various wild animals and birds.
6.
Our next stop is the seven-colored earth, a natural wonder and a popular tourist attraction. These colors are the result of basaltic lava transforming into clay minerals. You'll witness a surreal and almost otherworldly sight of rainbow-colored sand dunes, set amidst lush green surroundings. It's one of those astonishing gifts of nature that make you say "Wow." This area consists of sand with seven distinct colors - red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow. What's even more fascinating is that if you mix the colored sand, it will eventually separate into distinct layers. The colors may even play tricks on your eyes and appear as shadows. There's also a Tortoise Park and a Souvenir Shop with local Chamarel products, while the Coffee Shop offers a delightful cafe experience.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Posted By : 378a_chae
The organizer is dishonest, he does not cancel the excursion in case of bad weather, and leaves you like idiots in the rain until you get sick. He refuses any reimbursement even though it is his responsibility. He does not respond to messages and ignores our requests once the money is collected. Move on, there are much better people on this island. You tainted our stay with your crook behavior.
