What To Expect

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.

30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

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.

We had a wonderful tour with our driver Paul. The island of Mauritius is stunning and not to be missed. Paul provided us with an abundance of information about every location and points in between. If we ever have the pleasure of returning to Mauritius it will be for an extended stay to enjoy all that this country has to offer and we will most certainly be hiring Paul as our private guide. Thank you Paul for spending our day with us and ensuring we had the best time.
A fabulous Day Out in Mauritius

Flexibility to explore places at your pace as there are no set timings for your itinerary. Your driver gives you facts before letting you roam. Our driver was Feroz who was informative and funny. Received clear messages before the trip of collection time and who your driver will be plus car reg… very well organised.
Highly recommended- from Nathalie

I can't say enough about how helpful this company was during my stay in Mauritius. Upon arrival, I learned there was a religious festival on the island, which would block off many roads, and I also came down with a bad case of food poisoning which did not come from Mauritius but my previous stop. So, my schedule was shattered. But calmly the company worked with me, so I got so see all the important stops in Mauritius both North and South. The drivers were informative, courteous and always on time.

We booked two tours at Ridwaan. Both were conducted by Noraani and were magnificent. Communicating in advance was also straightforward. Ridwaan made us suggestions and responded to our wishes during the planning. Noraani was absolutely on time at our hotel both mornings. He drove us there as it was agreed, explained a lot to us and always discussed the daily routine step by step with us. He also always had great recommendations for lunch. We arrived back at the hotel happy and satisfied on both evenings and always felt completely comfortable. Ridwaan was always trying and always asked if we were satisfied. That was us! It was quite great and we can recommend the Service without restriction.
Even private tours organized quickly and reliably

Ridwaan was a really aimable guy, knowledgeable about Mauritius and showed us a number of sights more off the road, which added to the experience. Highly recommended.
