Top Mauritius Day Trips

Our private day trip in Mauritius through Viator was better than we could have hoped for. Our guide, Raj, was fantastic. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about the history and sites. We saw everything that was listed on our itinerary plus more and he catered our timing to what we wanted to spend more or less time doing. He was prompt and flexible on our timing as well. Our lunch stop was a wonderful restaurant and the food was an excellent sample of local food. A great choice for our only day spent on the Island. We were so excited to see Mauritius and our Viator tour worked perfectly for our schedule.

We took a private tour through the southwest of Mauritius. Kevin, our driver-guide, was punctual at the designated pickup location and time. As he explained to us, he is a native of Mauritius and is well-versed in its history, which allowed him to provide us with detailed explanations regarding the areas we visited. He also agreed to make some adjustments to the itinerary to accommodate my mobility challenges.

This is a marvellous way to see the North of Mauritius and our guide, Hans will tailor your experience depending on your wishes and needs. Hans speaks 6 languages and was fluent in English for us. He is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We could not have asked for more.

Our guide and driver David arrived on time and he was very friendly and informative. He was very patient and very attentive. The tour itself was full of great content, sights and activities at the Valle AdvenNature park. Great vista views and waterfalls. Lots to see and great atmosphere. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Island for the first time.

We were up at our hotel by our driver Vicky who chauffeured us on both legs of our journey. Vicky was professional and friendly and when we arrived at our destination, located the jetty for us and explained the return journey arrangements. He was there to meet us ready for our trip home too. The crew were fantastic (3) and made the trip one to remember. The catamaran was very spacious with lots of shaded area for those that required this - for those that wished for the sailing experience there was plenty of space on the front, including lounging on the nets. The details were expertly explained both when boarding and during our trip. There were about 30 sailors in total which worked well and still allowed lots of space. Two toilets were on board if needed. The food was superb - sausages, chicken skewers and tuna were bbq’d by the crew on our journey and these were accompanied by lovely salads - plenty for everyone. Breakfast was fresh croissants and hot drinks. There was a good selection of both alcoholic and non alcohol beverages - the jungle juice packs a punch so be warned!! We saw the waterfall, monkeys, had a great time snorkelling in shallow seas and beautiful fish and spent just over an hour on the island. Nothing felt rushed and timings worked for us. All in all a fabulous day which we would totally recommend. Our intial trip had been cancelled due to ‘catastrophic’ weather conditions but we soon rebooked and felt reassured that safety was key. Our initial trip had been booked some weeks before travel but Viator honoured our original discount code, which was very appreciated.

Amazing scenery on this tour of the south west. Our driver Robin gave us lots of information en route as we visited Chamarel, the Black River Gorges National Park, the Grand Bassin Temple and the Trou aux Cerfs volcano crater. We had time to look around the various places and also had several stops along the way to take pictures at viewpoints. We even saw a Macaque monkey! We had brought a picnic lunch from the hotel and Robin found us a picnic spot by a lake so we could eat it. As it was a Sunday there weren’t many shops open but we visited a shop in Curepipe and bought some T shirts as souvenirs. All in all a great way to see a bit more of the country outside of our hotel. Thank you!

Amazing experience hiking with Rowin on a Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the top section is currently closed and safety first! We met other hikers who headed up anyway but Rowin brought us to another lookout instead which more than made up for the disappointment of not being able to go to the top. An amazing option as we had the place to ourselves. The loop around the mountain was definitely a great option, and we were given history of the place etc, and we stopped at another lookout with views to the underwater waterfall as well. Highly recommended!

It is a catamaran tour by ocean cruise (company name) covering dolphin watching, crystal rock, snorkelling and beneteirs island from 9 to 3 Pm. Ocean cruise is big company and has many catamarans. Their service is top notch and guys are professional. We were couple and catamaran can accomodate 20 persons. Buffet lunch was served and they have veg options like pasta, green salad, bread and fruits. For non veg they have fish/chicken. Overall very nice tour.
