An incredible experience!

Published on Jun, 2024

We had an amazing day exploring the south of the island. Our driver, Raj was brilliant, he made us feel very safe on what can be dangerous roads in Mauritius, he was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The highlight for us was feeding the giant tortoises at La Vanille, we felt we had just the right amount of time at each stop too.

A great, enjoyable day.

Published on Oct, 2023

The 23 Coloured Earth, the giant tortoises and the Nepalese suspension bridge were the highlights of the day.

Incredible Zipline Experience

Published on Jun, 2023

Amazing Zipline Adventure! We did the Extreme Tour with Dirish - very nice and funny Tourguide! Thanks a lot!

Great tour to see nature and animals

Published on Apr, 2023

First of all - great tour! It recommend it :) We were travelling from the east side of the island, so we were sick after the long road when we arrived to La Vallée Park, we did a walk inside which is around 2h with all stops, you could do lots of different activities there (i very regret not doing a zip lining), so such a wonderful time! Then we headed to Gris Gris which has very lovely views and finally The Vanile Park - was great to see so many turtles and to be able to feed them.

A very long day

Published on Jul, 2022

We felt that Gris Gris was a waste of time. We certainly didn’t see the waterfall going into the sea. It was just a very small beach and lots of waves and rocks. The vanilla nature park was nice - giant tortoise were in abundance but that was pretty much all. The crocs were meant to be fed at 11.30 but we waited 15 minutes but needed to meet our driver so ended up missing the crocs being fed. We then went to Vallee des couleurs. There was a lot of hard sell. We just wanted to see the coloured earth but ended up doing the zip wire, Nepalese bridge and quad bike at a cost of £237!! Had we been made aware we could just walk to the coloured earth we would have done that - the quad bike was definitely not worth the money or the wait. When visiting this place and taking part in activities make sure you take your wallet and credit cards and that your driver has plenty of time to hand around. It was nice to have the same driver throughout the day but there is a lot of waiting around for them. It was a very long day with an awful lot of driving.
