One island, four very different coasts, and a booking list that runs from first-light mountain hikes to sundowner catamarans. Below are the 15 tours that beat everything else in Mauritius right now: what each one costs, how long it takes, and which coast it starts from, with the full catalogue underneath if none of them suits your week.
Catamaran cruise from Trou d’eau Douce to Ile aux Cerfs with snorkeling, waterfalls, and a 3-course lunch plus drinks in 7 hours.
“It was very nice trip from the beginning till the end. The crew on the boat was very friendly and helpful, answered every our question. We liked snorkeling so much and also the beautiful waterfal. We enjoyed the trip much.”
Full-day catamaran to Mauritius Northern Isles, with BBQ lunch and snorkeling at Flat, Gabriel, and Coin de Mire.
“Pristine destinations of each stop, beautiful snorkeling, delicious lunch, lots of room on the catamaran for everyone, plenty of drink options post lunch! Very easy, relaxing, warm, beautiful day 😊”
Swim with wild dolphins, snorkel Crystal Rock, and enjoy a beach BBQ lunch on Île aux Bénitiers with hotel pickup in Mauritius.
“It was a great trip and a wonderful experience. I really liked that our guide was taking care about nature. We saw Dolphins and the stops for swimming were nice🌞 Our Captain did have a lot experience. A wonderful day!”
Private southwest Mauritius day trip to Chamarel, Grand Bassin, Alexandra Falls, Trou Aux Cerfs, and Black River Gorges, with flexible stops.
“Atish was the best guide there could be - answered our every question, had a vast knowledge of the island and let us discover places at our own pace! Thank you so much for this experience!”
Private South-West Mauritius day with Chamarel waterfalls, Seven Coloured Earth, Black River Gorges, Grand Bassin, Curepipe crater views, and lunch.
“We were really lucky with our guide - Raj - and also the weather! Great explanation of all details and good driving. Very patient and empathetic. Would do it again for sure! ☺️”
Mauritius 5-island speedboat in 6 hours: lighthouse history, monkeys, snorkeling with turtles, and Ile aux Cerfs BBQ.
“Highly recommend the speedboat tour of the 5 islands. Our Captain Derrick ripped across the waves (probably the best bit) - we got to see dolphins, turtles and monkeys over the course of the journey (recommend bringing a banana to feed monkeys). Great snorkelling opportunities, delicious BBQ lunch and free flowing rum throughout. There's an opportunity to go para-sailing out of sea for two people which I definitely recommend and is cheaper than organizing on the island.”
Private South Mauritius day trip with hotel pickup, Trou aux Cerfs crater, Grand Bassin temple, waterfalls, and Chamarel 23 colored earth.
“Amazing day with Feroz exploring the south of the Island, he was a wealth of information and made sure we had a great trip Can highly recommend this trip we saw so much”
6-hour catamaran cruise from Trou d'eau Douce to Ile aux Cerfs with Cascade Diamamouve waterfall, snorkeling, and BBQ with unlimited drinks.
“Amazing! Such good hosts constantly providing refreshments. Very good value for money, would recommend to anybody. A beautiful and comfortable day at sea. Snorkelling spot could have been better and would have been good to see the dolphins but that’s not in control I guess!”
Grand Baie catamaran cruise to Ilot Gabriel and Ile Plate, with a close pass at Coin de Mire, plus BBQ lunch and drinks.
“Really good day, brilliant and super happy and friendly crew, good vibes. Recommneded.”
Guided sunrise hike to Le Morne summit, with rainforest birds, rocky scrambling, history, snacks, and photos. $75, about 4 hours.
“Kevin is a Great Guide with Lots of experience. Can highly recommend the 5am tour to Le Mourne with him.”
Guided hike up UNESCO Le Morne Brabant in Mauritius, with small-group safety and big views, plus sobering history and endemics.
“Steve, our guide was amazing. When we arrived at the bottom of the mountain, we thought we would never do it. He made the hike enjoyable, telling us about the history, giving us tips on how to climb and taking wonderful pictures along the way. Will be a wonderful experience I will never forget”
Speedboat dolphin swim and coral snorkeling in Mauritius, with respectful whale watching for sperm and humpback whales.
“Alan made us feel extremely safe and well looked after. He explained how you should not go too close to the whales as it distresses them, and he obeyed all the correct procedures. We were able to see amazing whales without emotionally harming the animals, unlike other companies we saw. As for the dolphins, again they made sure it was safe for us to enter the water and the experience was utterly magical.”
Hike to Tamarind Falls on the Rivière Tamarin, swim in rock-carved pools, and learn the rainforest and volcanic canyon story with a local guide.
“The guide Henri was great. The tour was not too difficult, although you need good shoes, as it gets slippery.”
Private 8-hour Mauritius tour with hotel pickup to Umbrella Square, Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, Ganga Talo, 7 Colored Earth, and Chamarel Falls.
“Great day out our driver /guide was an absolute credit to your company .”
Private south west tour from Port Louis: Trou aux Cerfs, Grand Bassin, Alexandra Falls and Chamarel Seven Coloured Earths.
“Baboo was a fantastic guide. We were able to arrange a customized itinerary with all the sights we wanted to see. He planned everything himself, so we never had to wait long. His information was excellent. We also didn't visit any expensive souvenir shops or boutiques. It was a wonderful, personalized tour that I, as someone with mobility issues, was able to manage easily. Many thanks and a 100% recommendation. Greetings from Jürgen in Germany”
