We did the North Taxi trip and also the South. The South was more of a disappointment. We did not go to all these places listed on the itenarary. We did go to La Vallee des Couleurs which is quite average and expensive. We went to some ship factory which was ok and then some small shop that had Rum and Cashmere for sale and the Shop people were really pushy trying to get us to buy things. We went to Alexander Waterfall which was nice but again that was not as per listed Itinerary (which says its Chamarel Waterfalls). We did not go to the Rhumerie de Chamarel either, so I feel like this isn't quite how its advertised. The photos you see here as well are literally from La Vallees de Couleurs. They have Zip lines and Quad bikes (just on a normal walking path is where you quad bike). The cost was approximately $650 Australian dollars for the 2 of us, and we managed to avoid that cost as you can actually enter the park and walk around it (it's about a 1 - 1.5 hour round trip so it's not even huge). I wouldn't recommend the South island Taxi tour, you are better off just hiring a car and doing your own trip (it's really easy to get around in Mauritius if you have a car).
