Book a Private South Tour in Mauritius with Taxi Service Mauritius
The south of Mauritius is different from the rest of the island. The north is busy and has a lot of resorts, but the south is where the island’s true beauty shows through. There are volcanic landscapes, sacred temples, lush forests, dramatic cliffs, and charming coastal villages.
Many travellers quickly learn that it can be hard to plan everything on their own. Distances between attractions, mountain roads, and roads that aren’t well known can make what should be a relaxing day of exploration into a stressful day of navigation.
That’s why a lot of people who visit Mauritius choose to book private tours with Taxi Service Mauritius. You don’t have to worry about the road; you can just relax and enjoy the scenery while a professional local driver takes care of everything.
We want our private south tours to give travellers options and freedom. Different people like different things. Some people like waterfalls and mountains, while others like cultural heritage, tea tasting, or coastal landscapes. We offer four preset tour itineraries, each focusing on a different part of southern Mauritius, to make the experience more personal.
These tours quickly become one of the most memorable things to do in Mauritius for many travellers who want to see the real side of the island.
Of course, you can also create your own tour.
