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. 40 minutes
Mare aux Vacoas, Mauritius Afterward, heading to 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. 30 minutes
Grand Bassin After some time, continue to Ganga Talao (commonly known as Grand Bassin is a crater lake, about 550 meters above sea level, located in the mountainous Southwest of Mauritius. On the shoreline sits a temple along with a collection of small shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and other gods.
During your visit to this sacred site, you will inevitably be awestruck by the gigantic statue of Lord Shiva. However, fear not about your doom, at Grand Bassin you will find the Hindu God Lord Shiva, smiling and as peaceful as ever. The statue is 33 meters high & is the highest known statue in Mauritius. Ganga Talao is a major draw of crowds in Mauritius, with many people visiting the site to pray, meditate, or simply to walk by the lake and enjoy the gorgeous surrounding views. The lake of Ganga Talao is thought to be around 18 meters deep with a healthy population of fish in the lake. 30 minutes
Alexandra Falls, Union Park The next stop is Alexandra falls which is Situated some 700m above sea level & is one of the most popular nature sites in Mauritius.
You must have definitely seen many of its pictures on postcards or in videos venting the beauty of Mauritius. Alexandra Falls is indeed one of the most emblematic & popular sites of the island. Famous not only for its breathtaking beauty, Alexandra Falls also offers visitors the chance to live a unique experience with nature.
Once you are there, do not miss the chance to admire and capture on your camera the panoramic view of the South-East Coast with its turquoise ocean. If you want to take in the full view, you can climb up a wooden platform.
On your right is the Alexandra Falls. From where you are, the waterfall looks like a silent white stream cascading over the rocky outcrops. You will also have a plunging look on Mauritius’s virgin green valley which is home to many endemic avian species and flora. You will need nothing more to soothe the eye. 35 minutes
Black River Gorges National Park Next, you'll head to Gorge Viewpoint, where you will stop for a stunning panoramic view of the endless green stretches. Amidst the unspoiled rainforest of Mauritius, there are almost 17,000 acres of rolling hills, deep valleys, spectacular waterfalls, and unparalleled beauty of flora and fauna in the southwestern region. You will be amazed to discover how high the viewing area is from the gorge. On the right side of the viewpoint, you can see a breathtaking waterfall. The path leading to the viewpoint has a unique ambiance of its own with some souvenir stalls. The Black River Gorges Nature Reserve was constructed in order to save the natural vegetation of the island and make it one of the most important Mauritian sights.
The Black River Gorges National park protects most of the island's remaining rainforest and is home to many species of wild animals and birds. 30 minutes

Um dia cheio de atividades interessantes.
Gostamos muito de visitar o Casela Park, tem imensos animais, alguns podem ser vistos em contexto de um mini-Safari e outros estão dentro de vedações.
Também gostamos de ver as paisagens naturais e de conhecer o templo hindu.

Excellent, knowledgable driver. Roshan really looked after us. The lunch at Chamarel was delicious but we were told that our package only included one soft drink, to be shared between two! Extremely odd, cosindering the cost of the excursion. It was raining in the afternoon, so it was difficult to fully enjoy some of the views, although we still did. Casela park and the Hindu temple were the highlights of this trip but in hindsight, we would have been better to spend a couple more hours at Casela. Overall, too expensive but a good experience, thanks to Roshan.

We had the best driver (his name was Daren), he didn‘t hurry us, he said always to take our time to visit, extra he brought us to Chamarel which was not included in the package because we wanted to visit it. We had a wonderful day, lunch was great and tasty at one of a popular local restaurant (huge portion). The company is very great and very respectful, we wanted to book another trip with Cruise with them but was a bad weather and they advised us when is the best time. All I can say are very good things! The tickets to Safari were also included and on the Roller Coaster as well.
