A Mauritius south tour is the best way to experience the wild, untouched beauty of the island. The south is home to some of the most iconic landmarks in Mauritius, including the Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth – a geological wonder of rainbow-hued sand dunes formed from ancient volcanic rock – the 100-metre Chamarel Waterfall, and the Black River Gorges National Park. Your dedicated driver collects you at 09:00 for a full day of breathtaking scenery.
Stand at the rim of the Trou aux Cerfs dormant volcano with 360° panoramic views, then marvel at the cascading Alexandra Falls. Explore the lush trails of Black River Gorge National Park — home to rare endemic birds. Enjoy lunch at a scenic restaurant before visiting the famous 23 Coloured Earth, a unique geological phenomenon where the soil displays vivid rainbow hues. Optional activities include ziplining, quad biking and more.
What is the Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth?
The Seven Coloured Earth is a geological formation in the Chamarel plain of southwest Mauritius. Sand dunes display seven distinct colours – red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow – created by the decomposition of volcanic basalt into iron and aluminium-rich clay. It has been one of the top tourist attractions in Mauritius since the 1960s and is now part of the Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth Geopark, which also includes the tallest waterfall on the island and a giant tortoise park.
