THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE COLOURFUL SOUTH TOUR

After you are picked up from your accommodation, you will head to Trou aux Cerfs volcanic crater in Curepipe, Mauritius famous crater from Floreal heading to Curepipe, you will stop on the way to visit the Trou aux Cerfs.

The huge natural volcanic crater, 85m deep and 200m wide, was formed millions of years ago. Here you will have a beautiful panoramic view of the crater and the town of Curepipe, and when the sky is clear it is possible to see all the way to Reunion Island.

STOP AT: Grand Bassin also known as Ganga Talao. It is a tourist favourite a place that oozes out a deep sense of spirituality, surrounded by forestation that gives a feeling of calmness and contentedness. Grand Bassin is about 1,800 ft above sea level and is considered as one of the most sacred and spiritual places for Hindus in Mauritius. With the main revered deity being Shiva, you will find at its entrance Mangal Mahadev, the 33 ft tall, giant Shiva Statue, standing with his trident, a worthy copy of the one of Sur Sagar lake in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. During the pious month of Maha Shivratee, piligrims from all over the island walk from their home to the lake, carrying “kanwars” (colourful and sometimes awesomely creative masterpieces, built usually to resemble a temple) to gather sacred water from the lake.

STOP AT: Black River Gorges National Park is a mostly endemic park abounding of endemic fauna and flora, many of which are treated as endangered species and are actively protected as Park of a national conservation effort of the NPL from the Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries. To name few: The Mauritius kestrel, Mauritius Parakeet, Pink Pigeon & Bulbul.

STOP AT: Chamarel`s Seven Colored Earth Geopark. The 7 Colored Earth (Terres Des Sept Couleurs In French) intrigues many. Located in the Chamarel plain of Black River District in the Southern – part of Mauritius, this small area of sand dunes attracts and fascinates everyone. The work of mother nature shows an astounding spectrum of colored sand dunes that have occurred due to the natural phenomenon of chemicals in the soli, with patterns having been carved by the rain over time. This phenomenon can also be observed on a smaller scale, if one takes a handful of sands of different colors and mixed them, since they will eventually separate into a spectrum of layers.

We booked our airport transfer with Mauritius Taxi Tours for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect welcome to the island. Our driver was waiting with a smile, the car was spotless, and the ride was so relaxing. It really set the tone for a beautiful trip.

As a Mauritian, I was impressed by the professionalism and service! I booked a tour for visiting family, and everything was perfect — clean vehicle, polite driver, and great timing. They really showed my guests the best of our island. Highly recommend for both locals and tourists!

We were a group of six friends exploring Mauritius and booked multiple tours with Mauritius Taxi Tours — every single one was amazing! The drivers were super friendly, the vans were spacious and comfy, and the tour stops were breathtaking. It felt like a private VIP adventure every day!
