Fabulous day out hiking the sept cascades and through the forest with great views over the water falls and valley. Our guide Paj was very friendly and caring. Really enjoyed the swim in one of the water falls. Highly recommend the experience.

Our guide was very...

Georsadd_G, Apr 2026

Our guide was very talkative, interpret that as you will! I did the Le Morne hike in the morning and this tour in the afternoon, and it worked out well. I was even able to swim in one of the waterfalls, despite not being a strong swimmer. The water there is a bit murky, though, as it seems not many people swim in that spot.

Great hike and swim in the water falls with our guide Paj

The wild nature of Mauritius

Pavlina_M, Sep 2025

One of the best trips in Mauritius. Everything went according to our expectations. Guides were waiting for us at the meeting point, who divided us into smaller groups and told us how the whole trip would go. We then moved to the place where the hike started. Our group was led by guide Paj. He was very friendly and nice. I speak a little English and I was afraid to understand him. His English was great and understandable. We walked at a leisurely pace and we all waited for each other. Paj advised us what we should pay attention to during the hike so as not to injure ourselves. The waterfalls were fantastic. It rained for a while, but we still had a beautiful view of the island. I definitely recommend it to everyone who likes nature and nice views. Paj was the best guide.

Awesome Hike!

Sanjay_P, Oct 2024

What an amazing hike! Our guide, Yudish, was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. He was very nice and was extremely knowledgeable in the local history. He took time to teach us about the landscape and it was greatly appreciated to learn more about the beautiful country. The hike was so beautiful and we had a very fun time. We were able to capture long lasting memories and soak in the Mauritius landscape. Thank you so much Yudish for an amazing day!

Beautiful waterfalls

Charlotte_W, Sep 2024

This was a fantastic guided hike and the waterfalls are absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend! The descent can be slippery at times so a moderate level of fitness is required, but it is absolutely worth it for the view.

Stunning hike with a great guide

Gracie_R, Aug 2024

Stunning hike with a great guide. Rowan was able to help us all navigate safely and find the best spots for photos.

Great hike with waterfall rewards

Simon_G, Apr 2024

Great hike! Need moderate to good level of fitness, but worth the afternoon heat! Saw 6 waterfalls and had a 30 minute stop near the end to swim under one of the falls. Our guide Jeremy was very professional & looked after our group brilliantly. There were some slippery / steep sections but he was patient & careful with the slower members. He showed us good photo oppprtunitues. Take bug spray! The meeting point (bus station) was towards the very end of the road.

It was a nice short hike...

Liliana_A, Nov 2023

It was a nice short hike with spectacular views. It was little slippery but our guide help us to manage it. I recommend it.

Incredible 10/10

Logan_C, Sep 2023

Most memorable part of the trip was 100% swimming in one of the natural pools. Was amazing! The views, spectacular. Marc was great and full of facts about certain plants we would come across during the descent into the trees and cave. Give this a go on your trip to Mauritius!👌

Best and Most Challenging Hike Ever

Sheema_S, Jul 2023

Johnathan was amazing! The tour was the highlight of our vacation here In Mauritius. You definitely need to be at least moderately physically fit to make it through this hike. It was slippery and VERY steep at points. If you’re afraid of heights or not physically fit, then I wouldn’t recommend. I exercise everyday and was soar the next morning. But I was was soooo worth it! The views were amazing and the waterfalls were all breathtaking! I would definitely do it all over again!

Very nice experience

kristina6, Dec 2021

Very friendly knowledgeable guide. Took care of everyone in the group,gave us clear instructions, some techniques on how to get down slippery steep hills and gave us information about the plants.

Absolut empfehlenswert

Jana_S, Oct 2024

Ein wunderschöner Ausflug zu den Tamarind Falls. Unsere Guides Rowin und Charles von Yanature waren sehr gut drauf, haben auf jeden in der Gruppe geachtet und geholfen, wenn es notwendig war. Festes Schuhwerk ist vonnöten, da es über Stock und Stein geht und teilweise auch sehr steil, sowohl nach unten als dann auch wieder nach oben. Insgesamt absolut empfehlenswert. Sollte man gesehen haben, wenn man auf der Insel ist.

Randonnée 1 cascade

Deborah_L, Jul 2024

L’organisation est très bien et mention spéciale à Frédérick d’une grande bienveillance ! Hélas je n’ai pas été au bout car c’est assez physique pour moi (ne faisant aucun sport et n’étant pas une fan de rando) il faut aimer ça et avoir les cuisses solides ! Et savoir s’accrocher aux branches ahah sinon la vue top

Mauro_V, Aug 2023

La ruta fue excelente, lo suficientemente exigente y al mismo tiempo, divertida. El guía (Yumesh) fue muy agradable y atento.

Perfect adventure Tour for healthy und fit persons. (Germans)

Tim_B, May 2023

Wir waren bei strömendem Regen mit 6 Teilnehmern und 2 Guides unterwegs. Fabrice und Miguel waren sehr professionell und sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir haben uns jederzeit sicher gefühlt, auch wenn die Wege nicht einfach und nass waren. Vorab wurden wir informiert, dass es schlammig sein wird und hätten kostenlos stornieren können. Wir sind sehr froh die Tour gemacht zu haben und danken den Guides sehr! Sie erklären viel über den Weg, die Pflanzen usw. und sind sehr gesprächig und interessiert. Bitte buchen Sie nicht, wenn Sie nicht trittfest, gesund und fit sind.

Randonnée nature rafraîchissement

VINCENT_T, Mar 2023

Randonnée super sympa avec Luca guide local de Yanature. Le seul européen avec un accent créole car né à Maurice. Sympa et plein de bonne humeur. À faire !!

Vue incroyable sur les cascades

Morgane_T, Oct 2022

C’était vraiment une superbe expérience. La randonnée était simple, parfois glissante par moment mais il suffit de prendre son temps et tout se passe bien ! Je n’ai pas l’habitude de faire des randonnées et je ne suis pas non plus une grande sportive pourtant j’ai beaucoup apprécié cette expérience. Notre guide Lucas a pris le temps de voir si tout le monde suivait et si tout le monde allait bien. Je vous le recommande !
