About Trou aux Cerfs in Mauritius

Trou aux Cerfs is a dormant volcano, located more or less in the center of the island country of Mauritius in Curepipe.

The dormant volcano features a well-defined cone and a giant crater clogged by water, rocks, and silt. Trou aux Cerfs volcano is one of the many cones responsible for the birth and evolution of the island of Mauritius. The crater it holds is a result of the several Trou aux Cerfs eruptions during the second phase of volcanic activity that led to the creation of the island in the Indian Ocean.

Although the Trou aux Cerfs in Curepipe has been dormant for years and years, it can still be active and erupt into flames, lave, and ash within the next thousand years. The greenery around the crater is a favorite jogging destination for the locals. The nearest attraction here is the Casino de Maurice, which is the oldest casino parlor of Mauritius, set up in the year 1970. With multiple jackpot slots, roulette tables, blackjack, and poker slots, this is a great location for some night time fun, after taking in the raw natural beauty of Trou aux. A little further away, at an hour’s drive distance is Ile aux Cerfs, which the white sand beach, turquoise blue water, and coral-reefed lagoons will set you up for a perfect day at the sea. Try any water sport like parasailing, speed boating, and water skiing. Also try your hand at zip lining and Accrobranche at the Adventure Park here.

Shrija's 7 days trip to Mauritius

The trip was well organized. We did not face any delays/issues.

Darshan's 5 days trip to Mauritius

The sharing van to travel around was small and cramped up. A mini bus would be preferred if we have to constantly board in it. Also, do not pick up from the other resort just to fill up the seats. It takes additional time to reach 1 destination.

Prathmeshshirsat's 6 days trip to Mauritius

Our recent Mauritius trip was an unforgettable experience, and we’re truly glad we booked it through TravelTriangle and Aga Holiday. We stayed at Tropical Attitude Hotel, which was exceptionally clean, neat, and had a breathtaking sea view that made every morning feel refreshing and peaceful. The hospitality at the hotel was top-notch. Karen, the hotel representative, greeted us with a warm smile and was always available to help with anything we needed. A big shoutout to Patricia, the room attendant, who went above and beyond with room service—she was incredibly polite and made our stay extra comfortable. Dining at Bor Lamer and Taba-J was equally delightful. The food was delicious every single time. Special thanks to Chef Vikash and Sunil, the restaurant server, who ensured that not just the taste but the whole dining experience was perfect. They genuinely cared about our satisfaction and service. The highlight of our trip was the romantic dinner organized by the hotel. It was a magical experience that we’ll always cherish. Highly recommend this hotel and TravelTriangle for a peaceful and memorable Mauritius holiday!

Anmol's 5 days trip to Mauritius

This was our first vacation as a couple, and TravelTriangle made it memorable for us. With zero hassles, it made every step of the tour seamless. Great property and tours agent connect. It was really special for both of us. Intercontinental is a recommend from our side for any couple who is going to Mauritius (North-West coast). The country is great place to just relax and experience the true beach side calm and peace. This resort has a lagoon which gives the right opportunity for the visitors to explore the scenic beauty of the coast.

Samata's 6 days trip to Mauritius

It was awesome holiday All days were filled with fun

Naveen's 5 days trip to Mauritius

Overall a great trip, except for the following: Pickup cab was missing, there was no one with the placard at the airport. One driver even made me load the luggage and then asked me to unload it as he didn't have enough seats. No drinking water bottle provided anywhere - during meals at hotel, transfer cabs and during the tours. Most tours end at 4-5pm and dinner starts at 7pm only, it's important for the hotel to provide some fruits / snacks at the room for full board booking.

Trou aux Cerfs has so far erupted only once, around 700,000 years ago during the second phase of volcanic activities that birthed Mauritius. It is believed to become active again sometime in the next 1000 years.

From the main viewpoint, a clear 360°C view of the surroundings can be clearly seen. If the sky is clear, Rempart Mountain, Trois Mamelles and the Moka Mountains of Port Louis can be spotted too.

The Trou aux Cerfs crater is around 100 meters deep, now covered with stagnant water and weeds. In diameter, it runs for about 350 meters.
