Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: The tour is a full-day excursion of about 8 to 9 hours. We’re flexible on the start time – many guests choose around 8:30 or 9:00 AM to make the most of the day, but we can adjust to your schedule.

Vehicle Options for Every Group Size
Whether you’re traveling as a couple, a family, or a larger group of friends, we have a comfortable ride just for you. To ensure everyone has plenty of room—and that your suitcases aren’t playing Tetris in the back—take a look at our private vehicle options for your full-day adventure:
Standard Car: Perfect for up to 4 passengers, with room for 2 suitcases—ideal for couples or small families wanting a cozy ride with air conditioning and easy access.
SUV: Also seats 4 people, but allows for 4 suitcases—choose this if you like a little more luggage space, or plan to bring extra travel gear.
Family Vehicle: Great for groups of up to 6 people, with space for 4 suitcases. A spacious and practical choice for bigger families or friends traveling together.
Minibus: Traveling with a party? Our minibuses can comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests, each with their own seat. Plus, there’s plenty of room for 14 suitcases, ensuring everyone and their essentials fit in with ease.

Just let us know your group size and luggage needs when you book, and we’ll pair you with the perfect vehicle for your day in South Mauritius.
Q: Can we customize the itinerary or skip certain stops?
A:Absolutely! The suggested itinerary is based on popular highlights, but since it’s a private tour, you’re in charge. Feel free to tell your guide if you’d like to spend more time in one spot, skip another, or even add a stop nearby. We’ll do our best to accommodate your wishes. This full-day tour is meant to be flexible and personalized for you.
Q: What should we bring with us?
A: Bring comfortable shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and a camera to capture the views. It’s also good to have some cash (MUR) for entry fees, lunch, or souvenirs. If visiting the Grand Bassin temple, please dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) as a sign of respect.
Q: Are entrance fees and lunch included in the price?
A: No, entrance fees and meals are not included. This allows you to decide what you want to visit and eat. For example, the entrance to the Seven Coloured Earth park is about MUR 600 per adult, paid on site. Lunch is also pay-as-you-go: you choose the restaurant or food stall you prefer (with our guidance) and pay them directly. We find this gives our guests more freedom to enjoy exactly what they like. (On average, a nice lunch in the Chamarel area might range from MUR 300–600 per person, depending on your appetite and restaurant choice.)
Q: Is the tour suitable for young children and elderly travelers?
A:Yes, very much so. We tailor the tour to be family- and senior-friendly (as described above). We have child seats available for kids, and we plan the day with plenty of breaks. The stops themselves are easy to access – no long hikes or strenuous activities, just short walks and scenic views. If anyone in your group has mobility issues or special requirements, just let us know in advance so we can accommodate. Our goal is to make sure everyone has a comfortable, enjoyable day.
Q: How do we pay for the tour, and do we need to pay anything upfront?
A: Payment is made in cash at the end of the tour. There’s no upfront deposit required. After your day of exploring, you’ll pay the driver-guide the agreed amount in Mauritian Rupees (or EUR/USD equivalent). This way, you only pay once you’ve experienced the tour to your satisfaction. If you need a quick ATM stop during the day, just ask your guide.
