6. 7-hour scenic tour of southwest Mauritius with lunch

“This tour of the southern part of the island was fantastic. Our guide, Ben, was exceptional in ensuring we experienced everything listed, while also including additional stops that catered to our interests. The sights were impressive, and even with a rainy day, Ben's timing allowed us to avoid the worst of it. Lunch offered a great variety and was more than sufficient. Highlights for me included the Gorge, the alternative double waterfall, and the tortoises, along with some beautiful overlook spots. We also visited a shipbuilding factory and explored more overlooks. The rain did dull the vibrant colors of the 7 colored spot, but there were ample bathroom breaks, water stops, and enough time at each location. I never felt rushed throughout the day.”— linda_m
