Trou aux Cerfs

Explore the southern part of Mauritius in a 7hrs private day tour. The tour begins with pick-up anywhere in Mauritius. You will meet & be greeted by our driver/guide, then you are ready to set off for your first stop. You'll be heading to Trou Aux Cerfs which is one of the famous natural tourist attractions in Mauritius. The dormant volcanic crater is around 605 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 350 meters & a depth of around 100 meters. Unlike the typical volcanic features, Trou aux Cerfs’ crater is surrounded by a vast area of lush forest consisting of indigenous plant species and some giant green pine trees. It is believed that the Trou aux Cerfs erupted once and has remained dormant for the last 700 000 years; experts believe that there is a potential chance for it to become active again. Definitely, one of the main highlights is the 360-degree view of the town, Curepipe & the majestic view of Rempart Mountain, Trois Mamelles, and the Port-Louis-Moka Mountain range.

Afterward, head to Mare Aux Vacoas reservoir which has the honor of being the largest reservoir on the island with a capacity of almost 26 million cubic meters and is simultaneously a rather popular stop for tourists visiting the south of the island. Although nothing as fancy as the other attractions in Mauritius, Mare aux Vacoas is a gem hidden between lines of thick forests. It is the perfect place to spend a relaxing few minutes away from the usual hustle and bustle of the country. The reservoir even offers a rather amazing view worth several clicks.

  • Fab tour of the South

    Joy W,,Sep 27, 2025

    Having never been to Mauritius before we wanted to see a little of the island. The tour Ridwaan took us on of the south was fantastic. Along the way he gave us so much information regarding the history of the island as well as the places we were visiting. He allowed us time to see each place, took photos of us and stopped at the side of the road to allow us to taste some sugar cane juice which was delicious. If we had had more time in Mauritius we would certainly have done the tour of the north too. Ridwaan was a very polite young man and a very careful driver.

  • Good experience, but don’t accept going to the “rum tasting”

    The guide has been excellent and explained many things during the tour, not only related to the tour but also to the politics and history of the island. I give it 4 stars because it led us to a “rum tasting” that commented that it was free and neither was it tasting nor was it free, it was a full-fledged tourist. They only let us try a minimum sip of 2 types of rum and the manager put a lot of pressure on us to buy something (it was all quite expensive). We out of shame bought something and she was upset to see that it was not a good scam she had done. At the airport we found the same rum at half price, so that rum place is a scam and they should not take tourists there.
