Island Tour
A great day! Sarah helped us arrange the tour and was great. We knew her from a few years ago and was as professional as ever. Our driver/ guide was Hughes and whilst I am sure all the guides are excellent I would recommend Hughes as he was great. Excellent driver, and we were given a complete history lesson of the island which was very interesting. The only downside was the lunch. Whilst the location was amazing, the food was disappointing. I would give guests on this tour the opportunity to choose from the A La Cate Menu as an alternative. Once again, many thanks to Sarah and Hughes for a great day
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your excellent review and your ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating! We sincerely appreciate you choosing to book your tour with Coquille Bonheur, and we are delighted to hear that you had a great day discovering Mauritius with us.

Sarah’s professionalism and dedication, together with Hughes’ excellent driving skills, knowledge, and passion for sharing the history of our island, truly reflect the quality of service we aim to provide to our guests. Thank you as well for your honest feedback regarding the lunch. We are pleased that you enjoyed the beautiful location, and we will certainly take your comments into consideration as we continuously look for ways to improve our guests’ experiences. It was a pleasure welcoming you back, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in Mauritius for another memorable experience. Thank you once again for your trust and recommendation!

Mauritius Island Tour
We had two full day private tours in the south and the north of the Island. Both were excellent and very different in that the south was a nature tour and the north a city tour. We enjoyed both of them. Our driver guide Vijay was one of the best guides and person that we have met in a long time. A thoroughly decent man and also very knowledgeable. I would recommend him every time. Black river Gorges National Park was especially good.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted that you enjoyed both the South and North tours and experienced the diversity of Mauritius. Your kind words about Vijay mean a lot to us, and we will be sure to share your compliments with him. We are especially pleased that Black River Gorges National Park was a highlight of your visit. We hope to welcome you back to Mauritius again soon!

Very Bad Service!
You book, they accept, you wait they don’t turn up. And then cancel because it’s a holiday. Why accept the booking at all?

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day South Guided Tour Mauritius: Including Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trou d'Eau Douce.
How much does Full Day South Guided Tour Mauritius: Including Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Trou d'Eau Douce usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day South Guided Tour Mauritius: Including Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Trou d'Eau Douce is not rushed.
Is Full Day South Guided Tour Mauritius: Including Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Trou d'Eau Douce, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day South Guided Tour Mauritius: Including 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 Full Day South Guided Tour Mauritius: Including Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day South Guided Tour Mauritius: Including Lunch?
+
Around 17 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 Trou d'Eau Douce 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 Trou d'Eau Douce and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day South Guided Tour Mauritius: Including 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 Trou d'Eau Douce 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 Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
On Outty we rank every Trou d'Eau Douce experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mauritius full day : Private north tour, Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks, Southern Tales Tour: Crocodile Park, 23-Colored Earth & Lunch. 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 Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
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 Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
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.
