Self-Drive 30KM Mauritius Tour: Gris Gris, Waterfall Swim & LunchIf you want to get off the beaten path in Mauritius, this self-drive tour lets you explore wild southern landscapes, swim under a hidden waterfall, and taste real local food—all in one day.
Mauritius: South West Tour with Chamarel Waterfall & Rum TastingYou get picked up from your hotel and driven through the south west, stopping at Trou aux Cerfs volcano, Black River Gorges National Park, Chamarel Waterfall, and the Seven Coloured Earth. Lunch and rum tasting at the distillery are included, along with all park entry fees. You're back at your hotel by late afternoon without having arranged transport, timing, or entry tickets yourself.Is it for me?Right for travelers staying in Mauritius without a rental car who want to see the south west's main natural attractions in one day without arranging transport or entry separately. The full-day format is what makes fitting the volcano, gorges, waterfalls, and distillery into a single outing possible.
Catamaran cruise Ile aux Cerfs with waterfall & snorkelingYou’ll sail from Trou D’eau Douce by catamaran toward GRSE waterfall, with time for snorkeling in clear waters before enjoying a BBQ lunch on board. After lunch you’ll reach Ile aux Cerfs island to relax on white sand or swim in turquoise sea—ending your day sun-warmed and salt-tangled.Is it for me?Book this for a full-day escape from Trou d'Eau Douce when you want the main stops — waterfall, reef, island — without arranging separate boats or timing the connections yourself.
Mauritius Southeast Catamaran: Île aux Cerfs, Waterfall & SnorkelA 7-hour catamaran tour from Mauritius's southeast coast visits three destinations: Île aux Cerfs for beach time, the turquoise lagoon for snorkeling, and the Grand River South East waterfall. The boat carries a live English or French-speaking guide, and includes snorkeling gear, lunch, drinks and snacks on board. Children from age 1 are welcome.Is it for me?At 7 hours, this tour fills most of a day but leaves the morning or evening free for other plans. The three stops — island, lagoon and waterfall — mean you move between different landscapes rather than staying in one place, so it suits someone who wants variety in a single outing.
Catamaran Cruise Trou d'Eau Douce: Snorkeling & WaterfallA seven-hour catamaran cruise from Trou d'Eau Douce takes you to Grand River South East to snorkel at a waterfall flowing into the Indian Ocean, then to Ile aux Cerfs Island for two hours of swimming, sunbathing or watersports. The boat carries lunch prepared on board, an open bar with beer, wine and rum cocktails, snorkeling equipment, and a guide who speaks English and French. Watersports like parasailing and tube rides are available at the island for an extra cost.Is it for me?This is a shared boat tour, so you're with other travelers and the pace is set by the itinerary—good if you want the stops and the logistics arranged, and the company of other people makes the day livelier. If you prefer to move at your own speed or skip the snorkeling, the two-hour island time gives you room to do your own thing on the sand.
Snorkeling in Mauritius: Lagoon, Island & WaterfallA full-day snorkeling tour in Mauritius that combines four distinct stops—a protected lagoon with marine life, a guided wildlife island, a scenic mangrove cruise to a waterfall, and leisure time on a lagoon beach. The tour includes hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, a live English-speaking guide, bottled water, and all entrance fees. Children from age 6 are welcome; the day runs eight hours.Is it for me?Book this if you want to visit four separate lagoon spots in one day with all transport and timing handled for you, rather than piecing together individual excursions.
