Great tour to explore the sights of the south.
Overall a great day visiting the sights of the south of the island. By far the best part was the jeep safari through the Ebony forest. The guide was very knowledgeable and it was great finding out about the conservation work they are doing to help preserve the indigenous species. Breathtaking views throughout! We missed a visit to the temple, although unsure why. Communication from the driver wasn't great, with little to no explanation when we started the day about the itinerary. Our first stop at 9am was to a local shop for Rum tasting, which turned out to be a shop full of cashmere etc. We didn't think this was appropriate and ultimately led to us missing a stop on our tour. Local restaurant for lunch was great, with tasty local food on offer. Would recommend Ebony Forest but perhaps not the full tour.

Not impressed
We were looking forward to this trip. The taxi picked us up early but took us to a Zoo instead of where we should have gone. After I phoned they confirmed we were on the wrong trip, we wasting two hours, we eventually ended up on the correct tour. However having wasted the best part of the morning we failed to make up the time so didn’t end up missing 40% of the excursion. We requested a refund and have yet to get confirmation from the operator of trip advisor that this will happen?
Response from the operator: Greetings, indeed the mistake did happen due to a confusion, but your resort was 30 mins away from the trip and when you called us,we requested you to go back to the car immediately, you replied yes. But you returned 2 hour later and told our driver,that you were already there, why waste the tickets we paid? thats fair for us . we took you to the second park and at 5pm(already 1 hour exceeded) how do you expect us to bring you to the other parks when they close at 4hr30 ? Our driver told you we would give you till 7 pm to visit at 9hr30 am but you returned to the car at 11.42 (as per the dashcam recording). Unfortunately,had you not abused the time given, everything would have been fine. We even gave you free beers and wine during lunch to compensate the mistake. Still thank you for the trust best regards Hans

BEST
The places we visited were breathtaking each stop had its own unique charm. Mauritius definitely has beatiful beaches and the nature views are simply worth seeing. Not only the views but the local food culture was also a highlight of the trip. It’s diversity gave us so many options to choose from and nothing disappointed.
Response from the operator: Greetings from the team, as a small private company we always focus on guests satisfaction and really hope to see you again on the island. Best regards..

Excellent tour with Hans
We really enjoyed our day with Hans, our driver/guide. The Hindu temple at Grand Bassin was amazing, and Hans answered our many questions as he accompanied us as we walked round. The Ebony Forest jeep safari and Chamarel coloured earths were well worth visiting, and the lunch was both tasty and filling.

Monkeys are aggressive but I was given the best service
Major road to chamade is closed and this is the only company I found willing to do the tour with an affordable budget. Again great trip and wonderful service by our driver who had a complicated Hindu name but was a lovely person. Cheers to the team. The monkeys we saw was an amazing experience although they seemed aggressive . Would book with them anytime am back.
Response from the operator: Greetings, indeed we are one of the few thats still providing tours to the incredible CHAMAREL and also providing 3 course lunch in one of the finest restaurant in Chamarel village. The monkeys are indeed very aggressive and i can tell you because i own one myself as a pet. Be careful with them at all time Best regards Hans

EXOTIC South West Mauritius with Ebony JEEP Forest Safari & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Louis.
How much does EXOTIC South West Mauritius with Ebony JEEP Forest Safari & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Louis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does EXOTIC South West Mauritius with Ebony JEEP Forest Safari & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Louis is not rushed.
Is EXOTIC South West Mauritius with Ebony JEEP Forest Safari & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Louis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule EXOTIC South West Mauritius with Ebony JEEP Forest Safari & Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is EXOTIC South West Mauritius with Ebony JEEP Forest Safari & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book EXOTIC South West Mauritius with Ebony JEEP Forest Safari & Lunch?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Louis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Louis and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does EXOTIC South West Mauritius with Ebony JEEP Forest Safari & Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Louis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Louis?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Louis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Port-Louis Street Food Tour, Private taxi : North guided tour of mauritius., Private taxi : South west guided tour of mauritius.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Louis?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Louis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
