South Tour

Volcano, sacred lake and coloured earth — the scenery day.

The scenery day

The South Tour has more upsell inside it than any other day on the island — most of it sitting in the Valley of Colours.

Entrance to the Valley of 23 Coloured Earth is included in the tour. Around forty optional activities are not.

Green volcanic landscape in the south of Mauritius
  • Valley of 23 Coloured Earth — entrance included. Around forty optional activities sit inside it.
  • Trou aux Cerfs — a dormant volcanic crater at Curepipe with wide views over the island.
  • Grand Bassin / Ganga Talao — a sacred crater lake with roughly fifty temples around it and a 108-foot Shiva statue. For Indian guests this is often the emotional high point of the trip; give it proper time in the itinerary rather than treating it as a photo stop.
  • Plaine Champagne — the drive up through the highlands, with viewpoints on the way.
  • Souvenir shopping at Floréal — notably cheaper than Caudan. Souvenirs from roughly MUR 80 to 500.
