Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Mauritius

Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark

6.8
4.5/5
434 reviews

Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark is located in the Black River District near Chamarel in southwestern Mauritius. It is a rare natural colored sand dune. The debris and volcanic ash left by ancient volcanic activity have weathered over many years in the hot, humid climate. The iron, aluminum, and other minerals they contain have oxidized in varying proportions, gradually creating layers of red, brown, purple, blue, and green bands. These bands spread out along the undulating hills, resembling, from a distance, a piece of colorful silk wrinkled by the wind, cascading down from the lush forest. The sand dune area is small and enclosed by railings and boardwalks. Visitors can walk along the viewing platforms to look down. From different angles, they can see the subtle changes in the direction and intensity of the color bands, which are especially distinct when sunlight shines obliquely. The sand dunes themselves are barren, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding lush vegetation and adding a touch of mystery.

Baie du Cap
No. 7 of Best Things to Do in Mauritius

Baie du Cap

6
4.6/5
57 reviews

Baie du Cap is a small headland on the southwest coast of Mauritius that juts into the South Indian Ocean. It is named for its remote location facing the open ocean, as if one has reached the end of the land. The coastal road here makes a sharp U-turn around the giant rock at the tip of the headland. Taking a photo from above the rock, capturing the road and the blue sea in the same frame, is a highly recognizable scene on the southwest coastline. Climb the stone steps to the small observation deck on top of the rock to enjoy the sea breeze, with the deep blue Indian Ocean on one side and the winding coastline on the other. In the evening, this is a great spot to watch the sunset over the sea as the sun slowly sinks into the Indian Ocean on one side of the headland. The beach is also scattered with round reefs of various sizes. At low tide, as seawater flows through the crevices between the rocks, it creates a series of wonderful sounds.

Bel Ombre · 10.6km from Chamouny
Black River Gorges National Park
No. 13 of Best Things to Do in Mauritius

Black River Gorges National Park

4.6/5
107 reviews

Black River Gorges National Park is located amidst the mountainous gorges in the southwest of Mauritius and serves as the primary sanctuary for the island's remaining native rainforest, protecting a significant portion of its natural heritage. It preserves a rich native forest ecosystem and is an important habitat for various endemic flora and fauna of Mauritius, including rare birds, endemic plants, and other wildlife. The park features multiple hiking trails and viewpoints, allowing visitors to trek through the forest and enjoy views of valleys, waterfalls, and distant mountains. Some high-altitude viewpoints offer panoramic views of the vast green gorges, providing expansive vistas when the weather is clear.

Chamarel · 6.5km from Chamouny
Chamarel Waterfall
No. 14 of Best Things to Do in Mauritius

Chamarel Waterfall

4.9
4.7/5
47 reviews

Chamar Falls is located on the southwest side of Mauritius Island, adjacent to the famous Seven Color Earth Scenic Spot. This is the filming location of the movie "Jurassic Park". While viewing the scene, think of the shock of being in the age of dinosaurs! Chamar Falls is formed by the convergence of two rivers, with a drop of nearly 100 meters, which is equivalent to the height of the Statue of Liberty. In the rainy season from November to April of the following year, two water columns can be seen galloping down. Going to the seven-color soil, after driving into the scenic spot, you must pass this place along the road, and there is a free parking lot on the side. The waterfall has two viewing platforms, one near the parking lot and the other on the hillside, accessible by stone steps. More tourists will choose to take a photo at a higher viewing platform, because there is a full view of the waterfall. Looking around, there are mountains all around, and there are no traces of rivers, lakes and seas, and this clear spring on the top of the mountain is very intriguing.

Casela Nature Parks

4.8/5
296 reviews

Located on the west coast of the island of Mauritius, the park is an excellent soil that can be close to nature. There are a large number of birds, as well as rare giant tortoises and other animals in the park. Against the backdrop of African-style vegetation and scenery, it can be described as a "miniature Kenya". Walking with Lions One of the must-see experiences in Mauritius is "Walking With Lions" in the Casela Natural Park. Accompanied by professionals, you can experience the thrill of walking side by side with the king of the jungle, and even play in the streams and grasslands together to stage a live-action version of "Tarzan." Afterwards, you will be awarded a bravery certificate as a souvenir. Four-wheel drive You can also choose to rent a four-wheel drive or a more maneuverable two-wheel Segaway to travel freely through the lush tropical forests, waiting for unexpected encounters with zebras, tortoises and ostriches. A more exciting experience is the ropeway gliding project through the valley in the park. You will experience a wonderful journey like a bird soaring in the sky in the gliding distance of hundreds of meters. In addition, the park has free parking lots, restaurants, grocery stores, 4D cinemas, souvenir shops and other service facilities for tourists' leisure and entertainment needs. The park is very large and rich in content. If you want to play it all, it will take at least half a day.

Big Wave Bay is a bay located in the southern part of Mauritius Island. Due to its geographical location, it is easy to form big waves. It is a free 270° large viewing platform. Here, lush tropical forests are close to the coast, and white sandy beaches come and go under the caress of the waves. The sometimes high waves in the distance came downwind, hitting the reef, making a shocking cry, breaking the tranquility nearby, and people couldn't help exclaiming with excitement.

Pont Naturel

4.3/5
140 reviews

Pont Naturel is located on the southern coast of Mauritius and is a natural stone arch bridge made of black basalt. It is famous for its natural arch structure formed by the long-term erosion of coastal rocks by waves. The dark volcanic rock contrasts with the azure seawater, creating a unique coastal landscape in Mauritius. Waves constantly crash against the rock walls, passing through the underside and crevices of the rocks, creating layers of white spray and showcasing the powerful natural force of the Indian Ocean coast. The view here is affected by tides, wind, and sea conditions, so you may see different wave patterns and seawater colors when visiting at different times.

Vallé Advenature Park is located 1 km southeast of the Bassin Blanc volcano. This volcano erupted 100,000 years ago and is a natural wonder in Mauritius, sculpted by nature from unique volcanic lava. The soil contains various metal elements that react over time with moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to form different colors, which appear vibrant under sunlight, making it a representative landscape of Mauritius.

The volcanic terrain of Mauritius has created a natural landscape with a low mountain but strange shapes. The seven-colored soil in Chamarel was discovered by a Frenchman who was planting sugarcane fields here. Among the sugarcane fields here, only this piece of land is barren. After geologists went there to develop and study, this magical and magnificent seven-colored soil was revealed to the world.

The Cape of the End of the Earth in Mauritius has many large reefs protruding from the sea on the coastline, forming irregular angles. Some are like natural lighthouses standing on the sea, and some are like two pliers extending deep into the sea. The scenery is very beautiful and worth a visit.

Black River Gorges National Park is a very important national park in Mauritius. I came here during the rainy season. Although we couldn’t see far away, it had a different kind of hazy beauty. Because of the rain, there were fewer tourists and the entire national park was our world.

Looking from a distance on the Xiamar Plateau of Heihe Mountains, three waterfalls fall from the cliff, which is very spectacular. This is the first place of Mao Tour and one of the famous scenic spots. The waterfall is hanging on the cliff of a huge stone cave, more than 100 meters high. From a distance, we can see two fine white exercises, swaying with the wind and facing the scene. It really feels like flying down 3,000 feet. The scenery around Shamal Falls is beautiful, and the vegetation is very good.

Mona Mountain is steep and extends to the sea. There are many resort hotels on the mountain. The beach is very beautiful, with white sand and warm sea water. I recommend wearing shoes when going to the sea, which is suitable for a leisure vacation
