Tours & attractions

The three standard tours, Casela, and the coloured-earth question.

Tours & attractions

Three standard tours, one adventure park

SIC tours run on set days. Private removes the constraint — with one exception that catches people out.

The Saturday / Sunday North Tour trap

Private basis removes the fixed-day constraint for Île aux Cerfs and the South Tour — but not for the North Tour. Most North Tour sites are closed on Saturday and Sunday. A guest on private transport still cannot do it. Check the day before you confirm the itinerary.

Full day

Île aux Cerfs

The flagship excursion — and the one that generates the most complaints, almost entirely because of a misunderstanding about what is included.

Half to full day

North Tour

The cultural day out, centred on Port Louis. Not a beach day, and should not be sold as one.

Full day

South Tour

Volcano, sacred lake and coloured earth — the scenery day, and the one with the most upsell inside it.

7 vs 23 Coloured Earth

The distinction that separates a seller who knows Mauritius from one who has read a brochure.

Full day

Casela Nature Parks

The most visited attraction in Mauritius, and the single biggest missed upsell in our current selling.
