Mauritius packs volcanic craters, rainforest, tea plantations and colonial history into a small island. A private full-day tour with a local driver is the easiest way to see the best of it. Here’s how our three tours compare.
South West Tour: nature and waterfalls
The South West Tour is the favourite for nature lovers. You’ll walk around the Trou aux Cerfs crater, visit the sacred lake of Grand Bassin, look out over Black River Gorges and Alexandra Falls, and finish at Chamarel Waterfall and the Seven Coloured Earth.
South East Tour: tea, history and wild coast
Choose the South East Tour for culture. Learn how tea is made at Bois Chéri, explore the naval museum in Mahébourg, discover sugar heritage at Saint Aubin and watch the waves crash at Gris Gris and La Roche qui Pleure.
North Tour: capital city and gardens
The North Tour combines Port Louis’ market and Caudan Waterfront, the view from Marie Reine de la Paix, Pamplemousses Botanical Garden and shopping in Grand Baie.
