The wild side. Cliffs, gorges, waterfalls and sugarcane rather than lagoon and sand — the south is where the island stops looking like a brochure and starts looking like a volcano. Almost everything on the South Tour sits in or above this region: Grand Bassin, Trou aux Cerfs, Chamarel, Black River Gorges.

Nature-first travellers, photographers, repeat visitors, guests who found their last beach holiday boring.
Pairs with

Watch out
Fewer hotels, longer drives to everything else, and the surf on the exposed southern coast is not the calm lagoon guests are picturing.
