About this experience
**Note: This tour is private except for the horse riding portion, as there may be other people in the group. Set out on an unforgettable excursion, beginning with a horse ride in the wild south of Mauritius, near the village of Riambel. After a 30-minute briefing, spend an hour riding along an almost deserted beach, hooves splashing through the shallows as the turquoise lagoon stretches to the horizon. After the adventure, stop at Grand Bassin, the sacred Hindu lake, where towering statues and serene temples are mirrored in the still water. You'll have the chance to visit the Black River Gorges National Park viewpoint, and witness a sanctuary of native forest and sweeping mountain vistas. Listen for birds in the canopy, breathe in the cool, fresh air, and take in panoramic views that reveal the untamed heart of Mauritius. A tour of the Southwest wouldn't be complete without to visit Chamarel 7-Coloured Earth, one of the most famous attractions in Mauritius.

Why this scores 42
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Tour: Beach Horseback Riding & Explore the Southwest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Louis.
How much does Full Day Tour: Beach Horseback Riding & Explore the Southwest cost?
+
Prices start at $254 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 Full Day Tour: Beach Horseback Riding & Explore the Southwest 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 Full Day Tour: Beach Horseback Riding & Explore the Southwest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Full Day Tour: Beach Horseback Riding & Explore the Southwest?
+
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 Tour: Beach Horseback Riding & Explore the Southwest suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour: Beach Horseback Riding & Explore the Southwest?
+
Around 0 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 Full Day Tour: Beach Horseback Riding & Explore the Southwest 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 Private taxi : North guided tour of mauritius., Port-Louis Street Food Tour, 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.
