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.

  • Wonderful tour of beautiful Mauritius with our driver Ajay!

    What a wonderful tour of Mauritius! Ajay, our driver was waiting for us at the Cruise Terminal with a sign with our name on it, as promised, at the appropriate time. He made us comfortable in his air conditioned car and we headed off for our first destination. Ajay shared with us the history of Mauritius and many other interesting facts. We visited all the promised locations on the itinerary. Each location was beautiful and very interesting! Our favorite was the Black River Gorges overlook! It is one of the most beautiful valleys I have ever seen! We also enjoyed our visit to the Hindu Temple. Ajay explained about the Hindu Gods and beliefs. We stopped at a lovely restaurant for lunch (at our own expense). The local food was plentiful and delicious! We were able to buy lovely souvenirs at a nice shop. Then back to our ship in good time. This was a fantastic tour and we highly recommend it and especially Ajay!

    Great trip we can absolutely recommend. The AIDA excursion was identically only considerably more expensive and we were of course much more flexible by car.

    Wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable driver/guide Bilall showed us a beautiful Mauritius. Attentive to our preferences, adjusted the itinerary to include the stop we wanted at Casela. Careful to drop us back at the ship in time, even though the traffic was very busy.

  • A good introduction to what SW Mauritius has to offer.

    Good driver, good conversations and interesting sites, although one of the objectives had to be replaced because of road closure.

    I have to thank very much for this tour. I was travelling alone and Ridwaan was a perfect driver and made me feel safe. He is professional, has a great communication, punctual and very reliable. Ridwaan gave me many information and was a pleasure to talk to. We stopped for food in a local food restaurant and I loved. I totally recommend Ridwaan and say he is the best! Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏿

  • Easy and enjoyable way to see the south west

    Our guide Ridwaan got a great knowledge about Mauritius, and all the things, that are worth seeing, easy to talk to and flexible about the route and pickup. He was very welcoming, and told us all the history about all the sights, no homework needed to be done, because he will teach it all in a nice and friendly manner, and are open for any questions you might have! Would recommend whenever it's just one of his tours or a lift to the airport! (Also one of the cheapest!)
