**Note: This tour is private except for the horse riding portion, as there may be other people in the group.

Set out on an unforgettable excursion, beginning with a horse ride in the wild south of Mauritius, near the village of Riambel. After a 30-minute briefing, spend an hour riding along an almost deserted beach, hooves splashing through the shallows as the turquoise lagoon stretches to the horizon.

After the adventure, stop at Grand Bassin, the sacred Hindu lake, where towering statues and serene temples are mirrored in the still water.

You'll have the chance to visit the Black River Gorges National Park viewpoint, and witness a sanctuary of native forest and sweeping mountain vistas. Listen for birds in the canopy, breathe in the cool, fresh air, and take in panoramic views that reveal the untamed heart of Mauritius.

A tour of the Southwest wouldn't be complete without to visit Chamarel 7-Coloured Earth, one of the most famous attractions in Mauritius.

Grand Bassin

Grand Bassin is a tranquil and serene crater lake considered sacred by the Hindu population.
