Highlights
  • 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.

All in all a very nice tour 😍 - Very nice driver who picked us up at the hotel and then the private tour started 😁 Unfortunately we didn't have such good weather, but every single location is really beautiful 🥰 We had enough time to see everything and the best part was the Casela Park, where we went on a safari tour. In total we were on the road for about 8 1/2 hours, of which about 3 hours were in the Casela Park 😁 Very polite driver and a great tour 😊

Private Day Trip. Inc Casela Park. - Mevin picked us up on time and was a fantastic guide. We started our day at a small coffee shop on the way to Casela Park . As promised we were whisked pass the queues and spent three hours in the park. The African Safari was brilliant with the drivers feeding the animals to bring them close to us. Lunch was authentic and so tasty. Two of us had chicken and two fish. The staff were friendly and spent time explaining the dishes to us. We went on up to the Hindu Temple and sacred statues. Through the whole day Mevin was friendly, informative , and nothing was too much trouble. Really recommend this trip.

If you want the best adventure of your life Mauritius gives you that experience like no other - A trip of a lifetime made even more special because of our tour guide who was the best tour guide we have ever experienced. We did walking with lions and it was truely amazing, plus we hadn’t booked ahead and the staff did there best to facilitate that for us. Honestly a day to remember, deeply in our hearts for a lifetime one experience out of this world made truely special by the kindness of our guide and the safari staff.

Nice island, beautiful safari - The trip was ok , especially the safari was very nice, but the driver is below our expectation, he is driving very fast, overtake the cars, speak in the phone all the time, he is uncomfortable driver…

Average - Average. We got no less and no extra. Daron our driver kept it to basics and wasn't very chatty or informative but he was pleasant. Safari park was rushed and needed more time. Lunch was tasty and was hi light. The temple, waterfall and statues was interesting. Shame didn't include the coloured sands and trip felt very rushed.

South Mauritius tour - Nice to see this area of Mauritius however Casela park is dated and needs a lot of maintenance. The safari tour trucks are dangerously old. The lunch was great, however despite the tour listing that non alcoholic drinks are included, we were charged for them. The Grand Bassin, the temples were great, and the views of the Black River Gorges are fantastic. Our guide was good, it did seem we were in a rush to get back after the gorges, and there was little or no volunteering of information about the area or mauritius in general.

Very disappointed - Got to Casela park at opening time 9am with our driver to find no ticket had been purchased or booked and the park would not let us in unless we paid. Driver tried to ring company but did not Answer. We waited 1 hr at the entrance to the park but finally decided to go back to our start point. Lunch was planned for a Resturant a long way from our start point but as it was still only 10am and we were now heading back to our pick up we could not use the lunch. Very disappointed as we had looked forward to our day. Viator refused to refund us.
