Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Eau Bleue Reservoir, Mauritius
Our first stop will be at Eau Bleu Waterfall located on the central plateau of the Island. Relish the curious effects the light plays on your eyes, giving the body of water a blue like appearance. The azure colours coupled with the calm and soothing sounds of the waterfall, gives this ‘secret’ little pocket of nature a near heaven like atmosphere.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Pont Naturel, Coastal Route Le Souffleur, Mauritius
Translating into “Natural Bridge”, Pont Naturel is not such a well-known attraction. This only plays into your favour as you will be able to enjoy this experience with little to no disturbance, and trust us when we say this is not an experience anyone with a sane mind would want to miss.
Found on the southern coast of Mauritius, Pont Naturel is a beautiful beach, but with a twist. This beach is not about white sand and calm blue lagoons but rather about rocks and extremely rough waves. The main attraction of the beach is a bridge which might appear man made but has been formed through years of huge waves beating on the volcanic rocks. Sit back and enjoy the view of the rough sea striking this magnificent natural formation surrounded by only the noise of the sea and barely any disruption.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Le Souffleur, Sud Est, Mauritius
Based in the Savannah Sugar Estate in the south, Le Souffleur is yet another amazing natural phenomenon occurring on the southern coast of the island. When the seas are rough and the waves extremely strong, they crash into the rock formation at “Le Souffleur” and pass through tiny holes from which they emerge with extreme force as the water rises to heights up to 20 m.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Amma Tookay Temple, Riche Bois, Britannia, Camp Diable, Mauritius
Burrowed in the village of Camp Diable, stands erected one of the most beautiful temples of the island. Legend goes that, during the 19th century, when all rocks were being removed at that spot for the plantation of sugarcane, one specific rock proved impossible to lift or even break, despite also the owner trying different methods. The locals then started to deem the rock holy and began to worship it. Some say that the rock was a statue of Amma Tookay. The Tookay temple was then built around this rock.
Standing several meters tall with impressive sculptures of vibrant colours, Tookay temple is a favourite of many tourists as well as locals.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Andrea Lodges, St Aubin, Mauritius
Enjoy lunch with a view at Andrea Lodge
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Gris Gris Beach, South Coast, Souillac, Mauritius
The southernmost beach of Mauritius, Gris Gris, is far from the habitual white sandy ones with a calm blue lagoon but is still magnificent albeit in a different manner. Instead of white sand, you are greeted by a rocky cliff which descends steeply into the rough sea where huge waves are king. The absence of coral reef in this part of the island means the ocean waves reach the coast undisturbed, with all their might.
Take a stroll along the cliffs as you watch the waves crash and send showers of water. On the furthest right end of the cliff, you are offered a panoramic view of the cliffs and waves dancing violently off them.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Souillac, Souillac
Visit La Roche Qui Pleure
Literally translated into the weeping rock, La Roche Qui Pleure is an extremely popular natural phenomenon which occurs along the coast of Gris Gris. Easily accessible through a path cutting through lush greenery and numerous signs pointing the way, this area is frequently visited by a large number of tourists who are curious of observing this optical illusion.
The lack of coral reefs resulting in the strong oceanic waves reaching the coast undisturbed is the root cause of this phenomenon. The huge waves hit the rocks in such a way, that the remaining water flowing down produces a tear like apparition on the rocks, hence the name ‘Weeping Rock’.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Rochester Falls, Savanne River, Souillac, Mauritius
Discover the spectacular 33-foot waterfall with multiple cascading falls hidden in the region of Souillac. The falls draws its charm into the Savanne River and with its magnificent rectangular rock, Rochester is famed as the widest fall on the island at an elevation of 152 meters above sea level.
When the currents are favourable, you might also find some daring locals jumping off the 10 m cliff into the water, but bear in mind that they are experts and know the waterfalls inside out.
The best feature of Rochester Falls is the ability for visitors to experience the falls from the front, bottom, side, and top! Refresh yourself with cool coconut water and unwind in the idyllic atmosphere surrounded with greenery and sugar cane plantation. If you are lucky, you will be amazed to see the locals dive into the water.
