Mauritius · THE WILD SOUTH
44 reviewed
The south is the unprotected coast: cliffs at Gris Gris, no reef to flatten the swell, sugar villages and a long empty road round the bottom of the island. Below are the south Mauritius day tours worth the drive, with what each covers, where lunch happens, and which collect you from the north without stealing two hours.

Private 13-hour tour of South Mauritius with flexible stops at Trou aux Cerfs, Grand Bassin, Black River Gorges, Chamarel and Seven Colored Earth.
“Our driver told us about each of the sights before we arrived and then gave us the opportunity to explore at our own pace. The sales pressure at the model boat museum was intense and it felt like they wouldn't leave you alone until you'd agreed to buy something. Everywhere else was really relaxed in comparison with little/no pressure.”

Private 8-hour South Mauritius tour with La Vanille crocodiles, giant tortoises, Chamarel seven-colored sands, waterfall viewpoints, and lunch.

“A long but worthwhile day out to see the South part of the island, this is especially good if you're based in the North East like our hotel was and allowed us to see a lot of sights without being crammed in a tourist bus and let us take the day at our own pace. The nature park was fantastic and feeding the tortoises is a must!”
Guided Bel Ombre Nature Reserve 4x4 safari in Mauritius, 2 hours of off-road views, endemic bird spotting, and a waterfall walk.
“nice little adventure on a 4x4 car that seats 9 people but we were only 4, so very comfortable. Our guide Guyle (or Gayle) was chill and laid back and even offered us water bottled which weren't seemingly included in the tour. we were also offered to take a dip in the natural pool by the waterfall. The ride is bumpy and fun and has about 5 stops in total. There are some breathtaking views which include lush grasslands, mountains with clouds touching them, dense forests and blue beaches - sometimes all in the same 360 panoramic view. then there are abt 2 mild mannered watetfalls. all in all, if…”
