The Scenic Road to the Wild South

The Wild South Road Trip

Duration: 5–6 hours
Experience level: Easy, with short walks and optional swimming
Price: From €70 per person ( Approx Rs 3500)
Group size: Private or small group
What’s included: Transportation, light snack, drinks, local tastings and a traditional Mauritian lunch.


This is not simply a drive through the south—it is a privately hosted journey through some of Mauritius’ most meaningful and spectacular landscapes.
Over the course of the day, we travel from the west coast to the island’s wild south, combining nature, local culture, coastal scenery and carefully selected stops away from the usual tourist circuit.
Expect encounters with endemic wildlife, peaceful mangroves, hidden viewpoints, local flavours, an optional snorkeling break and a traditional Mauritian lunch. The exact route is adapted to the weather, sea conditions and the rhythm of the group, allowing every journey to feel personal.
No rigid checklist and no rushed sightseeing, just a slower, more authentic way to experience the real Mauritius with a local host.
