WHAT YOU VISIT
Trou aux Cerfs
Rising 1,985 feet off the forest floor, this dormant volcano offers some of the best views on the island. Almost 1,000 feet in diameter, it was formed millions of years ago and is one of the island's most stunning wonders. A steep climb up to the crater's rim affords 360-degree views of Curepipe, Rempart Mountain, Trois Mamelles, and the Port-Louis- Moka mountain range.

Voiliers de l'Ocean
Only five workers create up to 15 unique ship models per month out of teakwood. Watch as these master craftsmen create 18th century caravels, frigates, galleons and ordinary brigs in miniature.

Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth
The moon-like landscape of red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow sand dunes were created millions of years ago of mineral-rich volcanic ash.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Get your camera poised for Grand Bassin, a secluded lake that rests in the crater of an extinct volcano. Considered the most sacred Hindu place on the island, the crystalline lake is dotted with colorful temples and Hindu deities.

LUNCH
Relax with a delightful lunch following your visit to Voiliers de l'Ocean and stop at Grand Bassin.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
During the day, you'll journey past sugarcane fields, along forest roads with stunning views over the West coast.
