Discover the natural beauty and scenic wonders of southwest Mauritius on this full-day tour. Explore the scenic coastline and climb near the Chamarel waterfalls, where you can admire views of the Seven-Coloured Earths. Visit the peak at Black River Gorges and breathe in the island's fresh tropical air.

Your tour starts with a scenic drive along the west coast. Stop to enjoy sweeping views and admire the picturesque shoreline. Continue through snaking, hilly roads and absorb even better views of the Indian Ocean as you make your way up to Chamarel – home to the magnificent Chamarel Falls and the Seven-Coloured Earths. Along the way, make a stop at Case Noyale – home to a traditional coffee house where you can try freshly roasted Mauritian coffee.

Upon arrival at the 83-metre (270-foot) tall waterfall, marvel at the dramatic waters and surrounding lush vegetation of the Black River Gorges – an amazing photo opportunity. See the unusual volcanic rocks that have cooled at various temperatures to form patterns of colour on the exposed hillsides.

Enjoy lunch before venturing past the Black River Peak, the island's summit; this is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Visit the sacred lake, Grand Bassin – an important place of worship for Mauritian Hindus. Your tour is complete with a visit to Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcano. From here, absorb the far-reaching, panoramic views of this magnificent island. Finish your tour, with a last visit of the amazing Ship Model Factory.
