What To Expect
Trou aux Cerfs
Begin your 7-8 hours southwest scenic tour with a hotel pick-up anywhere in Mauritius. You will meet & be greeted by our certified guide and after boarding to your comfortable vehicle, then 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.
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.

5.00Despite the weather being atrocious during our day out, we still managed to have a great day. The main reason for this was our driver/guide Daren who kept the mood buoyant with his extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for everything to do with the itinerary of the day and also his own stories/experiences. We would definitely recommend this trip to others-if you don’t enjoy the variety in this trip then you have no soul!!
To do without hesitation

5.00Beautiful comprehensive tour with all the great attractions of the South. Spontaneously we could add the Valley of color to the tour. In particular, the tour was also particularly successful because of our guide Sahil, he had a friendly nice manner, explained something about everything without it being too much or too little. Highly recommended!
Great day in Mauritius

5.00We were contacted the day before to confirm pick up time and contacted ehen Daren arrrived at the hotel in the morning. The tour was perfect, gave us the opportunity to see lots of sights (and potentially return to some if we wish on another day). It was a private tour so we got the chance to ask anything we wanted. Daren (our tour guide) was knowledgeable and friendly, we did not feel rushed at all. Perfect day, highly recommend.
Definitely worth a trip!

5.00Daren was a fantastic guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable about the island. Any questions that we had, even when not related to the planned visits at each location, he was able to answer. He is very passionate about the island and you can tell. Each of the stops were wonderful and just as good as we had hoped for. We didn't feel rushed around and took our time at each of the places. The lunch that was part of the four was wonderful and catered well for my wife who requires gluten free food as she is a coeliac. This tour is not to be missed if you want to see what the south of the island has to offer.
Incredible experience
