What You Can Expect:

Southern Mauritius Day Trip: Nature Reserve, Saint Aubin Sugar Estate with Rum Tastings, and Lunch

Encounter the idyllic beauty and natural wonders of south Mauritius on a day trip. Start your experience with a pickup from your hotel in the north, east, west, or south of the island and head to Mauritius’ verdant southern region. Enjoy the scenery and learn about the area’s flora, fauna, and history from your guide as you go.

Your first stop is Le Vanille Réserve des Mascareignes, an idyllically lush nature reserve famous for its exotic wildlife. Walk the nature trail and see the giant Aldabra tortoise and Nile crocodiles at the breeding centers. There are more than 1,500 crocodiles of different ages here and, as you watch them feed, the reserve guide will explain each stage of their development and how they came to be on Mauritius.

Continue to the Saint Aubin Sugar Estate, where tropical gardens surround a 19th-century colonial house. Admire the vanilla and anthurium plantations, see the old sugar factory and explore the gardens and mansion. Also, visit the quaint rum distillery to taste and learn about the delicious rum still produced here.

Afterward, take in the views at Gris Gris, the island’s most southerly point. Here, the Indian Ocean batters the basalt cliffs with incredible force due to the absence of barrier reefs. Capture the camera views and then board your coach for your return journey.

Your experience ends in the late afternoon with a hotel drop-off.
