Highlights
- Trou aux Cerfs - One of the renowned natural tourist spots in Mauritius is the dormant volcano Trou aux Cerfs, situated roughly 1 kilometer from Curepipe town. This inactive volcanic crater stands about 605 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 350 meters and a depth of approximately 100 meters. Interestingly, Trou aux Cerfs is also known as ‘Murr’s Volcano’.
- Curepipe - Curepipe (Mauritian Creole pronunciation: [kiːəpip]), also referred to as La Ville-Lumière (The City of Light), is a town in Mauritius located in the Plaines Wilhems District, with its eastern part extending into the Moka District. The town is governed by the Municipal Council of Curepipe. Curepipe is situated at a higher altitude, often called the “Central Plateau”.
- Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth Geopark - The seven-colored earth is a natural wonder and a major tourist draw. The colors emerged from the transformation of basaltic lava into clay minerals.
It is a relatively small area of sand dunes featuring sand in seven distinct colors (approximately red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow).
- Rhumerie de Chamarel - Located in the South West region of Mauritius, in the heart of a lush valley, lies the Rhumerie de Chamarel, surrounded by extensive sugarcane fields that coexist with nearby pineapples and other tropical fruits.
Exuding a unique sense of warmth and authenticity, the Rhumerie de Chamarel Distillery invites visitors for a comprehensive tourism experience, including a guided tour of the distillery, rum tasting, and a delightful meal at Petite Rivière.
Rhumerie de Chamarel was crafted to offer guests a complete tourism experience. As a visitor to the Rum Distillery, you can admire its distinctive design, which harmonizes with the stunning surroundings where wood, natural stone, and water create a sense of unity with nature.
- Grand Bassin - Grand Bassin in Mauritius is a must-see attraction. This sacred lake, also known as Ganga Talao, symbolizes the mighty Ganges River of India. Nestled in the mountains of the South West, it is surrounded by vibrant Hindu temples and deities.

Wonderful - All the amazing sites we're spectacular. Yhe driver shan was very helpful with ideas and photography .
It was however flawed with regards to the payment. The cyclone changed my plans and the driver shan came up with this south island tour. I spent the whole day when i was in the car trying to pay for it yhrough you site and through yhe operator. It would not allow me
This ruined some of the experience as i could not relax. I felt that i was also on the back foot as i started the tour late at 10am and it was rushed for me as i had late evening plans.
It was also codt me more than if i had booked it in england. I thought i booked that morning the full day south tour but the tour operator put me in for the picturesque south tour. No difference apart from price. But I was glad to be doing something since casela park was cancelled.

It was just a nice... - It was just a nice experience with a kind and knowlegable driver. The lunch in the Chamerel Rhumerie was nearly perfect. We did have an opinion of the Mauritian countryside
