What To Expect
Trou aux Cerfs
Travelers will visit Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcanic crater located in the heart of Curepipe. Rising about 605 meters above sea level, this natural wonder offers breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of Mauritius, including the central plateau, surrounding towns, and distant mountain ranges. Visitors can stroll around the crater’s rim, take memorable photos, and learn how this ancient volcano helped shape the island’s geography. On clear days, you can even spot the shimmering coastline in the distance. The peaceful setting and cool mountain breeze make Trou aux Cerfs a perfect first stop on your South Mauritius adventure.
Grand Bassin
Travelers will visit Grand Bassin, also known as Ganga Talao, one of the most sacred Hindu sites in Mauritius. Nestled in the lush highlands, this serene crater lake is believed to be linked to the holy River Ganges in India and is surrounded by beautiful temples and towering statues of Hindu deities. Visitors can explore the temple grounds, observe traditional offerings and rituals, and admire the 108-foot-tall statue of Lord Shiva, one of the tallest of its kind in the world. The peaceful atmosphere and spiritual significance make Grand Bassin not only a religious landmark but also a place of reflection and cultural discovery for travelers of all backgrounds.

5.00A beautiful discovery of the south-west part of the island. A trip with a young guide who has the passion to transmit the colors of his island and a fabulous meal with the 7 carry! Solo trip with possibility of having a female driver for those who are more fearful. Total security and beautiful discovery. I recommend!

5.00Jevin is an experienced and very friendly and helpful guide, and a reliable driver. He was also flexible and made it possible to us to see all highlights of this tour that we liked to see. Also we wer told by him a lot of background information about the sites we visited and about Mauritius in general. My partner and I are visiting Mauritius for the first time, and this tour was ideal for us to discover different aspects of the south-southwest of this beautiful island. Thank you so much!

5.00I had such a great day trip visiting South Mauritius, learning about it's history, culture, and getting the best scenic views thanks to Tropical Taxi Mauritius and my driver Jevin. They were able to squeeze in my last minute booking and communicated with me right away. Jevin was very nice and informative and recommended an amazing restaurant for lunch. Everything was beautiful to see, 10/10 I recommend them for your adventure in Mauritius!

5.00On holiday in Mauritius from France, we met Aniket a taxi from cop to cop who is kind and very friendly. Always with little care, drives very well, car very very clean! I highly recommend it 😄 On top of that we took it over several days and when we had only one activity it propose us with a little complement of activities to make our day the best 😁😁 When we get back we'll take him back! If you are ever in the corners I leave you his card, do not hesitate to contact him he will be delighted 🤩 And frankly between car rental and taxi you have to do 50/50 because they can teach you a lot about Mauritius 😃 Aniket Chucky 😄 See you soon for a new adventure!
Great experience
