Mauritius: Exclusive South West Tour

1.Exclusive South West Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 523 reviews · 7 hours Our pick

Spend seven hours with a private driver-guide exploring southwest Mauritius. You’ll see Trou aux Cerfs, Curepipe, Grand Bassin, Alexandra Falls, Black River Gorges, Chamarel’s Seven Coloured Earths, and the island’s highest Shiva statue. Guides such as Raj, Nishal, Baboo, and Vikash are known for flexible routes, local insight, and helpful photo stops.

“Baboo was a fantastic guide. We were able to arrange a customized itinerary with all the sights we wanted to see. He planned everything himself, so we never had to wait long. His information was excellent. We also didn't visit any expensive souvenir shops or boutiques. It was a wonderful, personalized tour that I, as someone with mobility issues, was able to manage easily. Many thanks and a 100% recommendation. Greetings from Jürgen in Germany”

“Loved the mix of culture with museum visit, lots of street art, temples and street food. Guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I was vegetarian and had made the guide aware but at one location the vegetarian option was to just not have the meat/fish - no substitute which was a bit poor. That aside all the food we had was great - and there was lots of it.”
