    3. Rhumerie de Saint Aubin

      A quelques kilomètres au nord de Souillac en direction de Rivière des Anguilles se trouve cette très belle demeure coloniale du 19e siècle. Habitation d'origine des propriétaires de la plantation sucrière, elle fut construite en 1819 à proximité de l'usine, avec du bois provenant de navires démolis. L'escalier menant à l'étage fut d'ailleurs agence autour d'un mat de navire, et la charpente du grenier est celle d'une ancienne coque. En 1970, et en raison de la pollution sonore générée par une usine sucrière de plus en plus imposante, les propriétaires décident de reconstruire la maison quelques centaines de mètres plus loin, sur le site qu'elle occupe aujourd'hui

    4. Gris Gris Beach

      Far away from the idyllic setting of calm seas and the tranquil scenery, is the Gris Gris beach, at the southernmost point of Mauritius. It is a few kilometers southeast of the village of Souillac- a historical village that dates back to the French colonial period. Gris-Gris is well known for its sea cliffs and offers visitors a magnificent view from the top- this is definitely a sight worth seeing. Coral reefs do not surround this part of the island, which allows large waves to crash directly on the cliffs, creating big splashes of water. At the southern end of Gris-Gris, you will have a great viewpoint on the cliffs and will see the crashing of waves against the flanks. There is a small garden offering many quiet spots for you to relax on one of the many benches, while having a view of the sea, waves and rock cliffs. From the garden, a path leads to a small beach where you can admire the view of the sea up close. Despite the white sandy beach, the waves and currents are extremely strong, so it is not advised to swim, but rather to have a stroll, admiring the view.

    5. La Vanille Nature Park

      La Vanille Nature Park previously known as La Vanille Crocodile Park was created in 1985, and its name honors the old vine cultivated in the valley where the reserve of 5 hectares is located.

    I don't think this is a...

    I don't think this is a great tour. First of all, I had to select it on Sunday and the operator didn't inform me that the tea plantation wasn't open for tours on Sunday. The main issue I have is the driver. He didn't really explain very much. Didn't have good command of English and basically just dumped me at the sites and left me to figure everything out on my own. The beach was absolutely amazing. I also had to twist the driver's arm to take me to the tea plantation even though they were closed and the grounds are beautiful and worth worth looking around. Overall I thought the tour was just okay and could have been much better had I had a better driver/gide

    Fine but nothing in Spanish

    I have to say the driver's fine. The only thing we booked in Spanish and have not found a guide in Spanish in any of the sites visited.

    Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trou d'Eau Douce.

    How much does Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day cost?

    +

    Prices start at $154 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 Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 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 Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day?

    +

    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 Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day?

    +

    Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day 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.

    What is included in Mauritius Tea Route - Full Day?

    +

    Included: free wifi; Bottled water; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
