South-West tour on Mauritius
The south-west is the green, hilly side of Mauritius: volcanic craters, a sacred lake, rainforest and the colourful earths of Chamarel. On the south-west tour I show you these places privately and at your pace.
The tour combines nature, culture and craftsmanship in one day. Which stops you would like to experience in more depth and where you would like to stay longer, we decide together.
