Chamarel: Seven Coloured Earth & Waterfall Private TourYou're driven to Chamarel's Seven Coloured Earth Geopark and Chamarel Falls in a private vehicle with an English or French-speaking guide. Entry to both attractions and lunch are included. The full day keeps you off the road to other parts of the island and focuses on the southwest's main draws, returning you to your hotel in the late afternoon.Is it for me?Book this if you want the southwest's main attractions in one day without arranging your own transport or paying separate entrance fees — the private vehicle and included guide mean you move at your own pace and don't wait for other groups.
Chamarel: Ebony Forest Hike & Mid-Canopy WalkwayYou walk a raised platform through ebony forest, spot endemic birds, visit a museum about the island's ecological history, then hike 1.1 km along the ridgeline to Sublime Point for views across the south coast. The whole visit takes 2–3 hours and includes a guide and museum entry, so you don't have to arrange transport or figure out what you're looking at.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see what Mauritius looked like before the clearing, and you'd rather have a guide explain the birds and the forest history than figure it out alone. The 3pm arrival deadline means you can do it on a half-day from your hotel without losing the whole afternoon.
Chamarel: Curious Corner Optical Illusions TicketYou get self-paced access to a gallery of optical illusions and visual tricks housed in a deliberately disorienting building opposite Chamarel's Seven Colored Earths. Wander through tilted rooms, impossible reflections, and confusing staircases at your own speed, with no guide or time limit. The building is wheelchair accessible and public transport is nearby, so you can visit whenever it fits your day.Is it for me?Right for travelers visiting the Seven Colored Earths who want a quick, self-guided activity that doesn't require a guide or transportation arrangement. Plan for 45 minutes to two hours depending on how long you linger with each illusion.
Mauritius: Ile Aux Cerfs Catamaran, Waterfall & BBQ Lunch TripYou’ll cruise by catamaran from Trou d’Eau Douce to Ile Aux Cerfs with a local guide, see the Grand River South East waterfall up close, and share a Mauritian BBQ lunch under palm trees. Snorkel in clear lagoons or just relax on white sand before heading back — this trip lingers in your memory longer than you’d expect.
Mauritius Airport - Hotel: Private transfer with driverStep off your flight in Mauritius and meet your driver at Counter 24 for a private transfer straight to your hotel. You’ll get water, a cold towel, and an easy ride in an air-conditioned car with a local driver who knows the island well. It’s simple comfort after travel — one of those small welcomes you’ll remember long after landing.
Swim with Dolphins & BBQ Lunch at Benitiers Island, MauritiusYou’ll swim with wild dolphins, snorkel at Crystal Rock, and enjoy a BBQ lunch on Benitiers Island—all with a local guide who knows every hidden spot. If you want a real taste of Mauritius’ sea life and island vibes, this tour’s hard to beat.
Mauritius Airport to Chamarel: Private Transfer with Meet & GreetYou get picked up at the airport with a sign, driven to Chamarel without negotiating a fare, and returned to the airport the same way. The driver waits if your flight is late, stops for essentials on the way, and handles parking. Book this if you want the transfer sorted before you land so you can focus on the trip itself.Is it for me?Right for travelers arriving at Mauritius SSR without a rental car or local transport arranged, since the driver meets you at arrivals and the price is fixed before you land. The 90-minute drive to Chamarel is part of the service — that's what lets you skip the taxi queue and start your trip organized.
