We had a wonderful hike at the 7 Cascades. Our guide, Shameen, was fantastic—knowledgeable, helpful, and full of great stories about the area. We felt completely safe the entire time and really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!

Our Hilbig Trip with Shameem was incredible. Yes, the route was difficult, but the views of five waterfalls of the river Tamarin were breathtaking and beautiful. Shameem did a very good job, we felt very taken care of. We thank him and Mauritius hiking a lot!

It’s a very challenging...

Christina_N, Jun 2026

It’s a very challenging hike. Stephano was great at helping us in the rough parts. The swimming was great and refreshing.

Strongly recommend my tour guide.

Eric_J, Apr 2026

Great tour guide! Took time to explain how to get down a wet slippery slope safely. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Stephano was knowledgeable kind and gave us all the help we needed navigating the tougher parts of the hike. He took great pictures of us that my girlfriend loved. 10/10 experience.

We're delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with Stephano and we're glad the photos were a hit too! Thank you for hiking with us, and for taking the time to share your experience.

Amazing exoerien e

Annette_T, Nov 2025

I recently completed the 7 Waterfalls hike and the scenery was absolutely spectacular — truly the highlight of the experience. Each waterfall had its own charm, and the lush surroundings made the journey feel wonderfully immersive. Our guide, Shameem, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about the area. His insights added so much more depth to the experience. That said, the hike was definitely not moderate. I found it extremely difficult, with very slippery and steep downhill sections, followed by some tough, deeper uphill climbs. Anyone considering it should be prepared for a demanding trek and wear proper footwear. Beautiful, but far more strenuous than advertised.

Response from Host, May 2026

What a wonderful review to read. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the 7 Cascades Waterfalls and had such a positive experience with Shameem. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to him. Thank you as well for sharing your perspective on the difficulty of the hike. While the waterfalls make every step worthwhile, some sections can certainly be more challenging than people expect. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you on another adventure in Mauritius.

Wonderful hike with Shameen

uncomfortable experience

nawal6alamri, Oct 2025

I had an uncomfortable experience with the guide, Mohamed. He behaved in a discriminatory and condescending way towards my country, which made me feel unwelcome. I came to enjoy my time, not to hear comparisons about whose country is better or who has more money. Also, he was constantly far ahead of me, even when something happened or I needed assistance — he showed no concern or support. The area we were in had several risky and slippery spots where it’s easy to fall, and he was nowhere to be seen if anything were to happen. I didn’t feel safe or comfortable with him throughout the experience.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. Mohamed has been one of our most appreciated and reliable guides for years, so this feedback comes as a real surprise to us. That said, we take your comments very seriously and will conduct an internal review to understand exactly what happened. We never want any of our guests to feel uncomfortable or disrespected, and this is certainly not the standard of service we stand for. Please reach out to us at contact@mauritiushikes.com so we can look into this more closely and make it right for you. We genuinely hope the rest of your time in Mauritius has been enjoyable, and we’d like the chance to ensure your overall experience — both with us and on the island — is a positive one.

This experience was...

Alia_A, Jun 2025

This experience was amazing. The guide (mohammad) was extremely helpful! He made sure our hike was smooth and helped us navigate the mountain easily. Ps: you need to be somehow fit because im not and it was challenging.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad you enjoyed the experience, and we'll be sure to pass on your appreciation to Mohammad – he’ll be happy to hear it. And yes, it’s definitely a bit of a challenge, but we're proud of you for pushing through! Hope to have you join us on another adventure next time you're in Mauritius.

Mohammad our best tour guide

Jacqueline_R, Jan 2025

Great guide really safety conscious and wouldn’t want to do it without a guide as he took us places we would not have found 👍

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much! We're glad you felt safe and enjoyed the hike. Our guides really know the trails well - hope to see you again on another adventure!

An adventure for the whole family.

Felix_W, Aug 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute highlight of our Mauritius vacation! We took the half-day hike to the Seven Waterfalls as a family (six) with two children (8 and 10 years old) and could not have wished for a better guide than Stephano. From the beginning, he took a lot of time for our group and always adjusted the pace so that both the children and the adults could enjoy the tour to the fullest. You never felt like you were just being led through the program. Instead, Stephano made the hike a real experience with his calm, friendly, and motivating manner. Our children had an incredible amount of fun. They were able to climb over rocks, jump into the water from various spots, and even experience little fish nibbling at their feet – huge fun for the whole family. At the same time, Stephano kept explaining interesting facts about nature and ensured that we felt safe at all times. The landscape is simply spectacular. Waterfalls, natural pools, lush vegetation, and impressive views time and again make this tour an unforgettable experience. Anyone who wants to get to know Mauritius beyond just the beach should definitely do this hike. A big thank you to Stephano for his patience, his professionalism, and his warm manner. He played a decisive role in making this excursion one of the best memories of our vacation. Highly recommended – 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you Akhil

Ludmilla_K, May 2026

I had the chance to hike today with an absolutely amazing guide, Akhil, and I couldn’t be more grateful. He was incredibly patient, kind and attentive from beginning to end. You immediately feel his passion for his job, nature and especially for humans. He encouraged me along the way, never feeling pressured, so that I could fully enjoy the experience and go through with it. And the big bonus: his photography skills are just crazy, the photos are amazing. I feel really lucky to have come across such a human and passionate guide. I recommend with my eyes closed.

A refreshing walk very recommend!

Joe_H, Apr 2026

The guide was perfect, caring for everyone. He really makes the little walk a good memory for everyone. The small swim at the end was just perfect to round off this walk with wellness for the body.

C'est un vrai plaisir de lire un commentaire comme le vôtre. Nous sommes heureux que votre guide ait contribué à rendre cette randonnée aussi agréable et mémorable. Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience.

Cool but very strenuous turn

Oliver_K, Mar 2026

It is not recommended to put on the best clothes - as afterwards you may not be able to use them (become very dirty). In addition, you should be aware that the tour really goes over hill and hill, sometimes with 80% gradients. The views you have on the tour are breathtaking. So if you are fit....do!

The Seven Waterfalls adventure can definitely leave you a little muddy — it's all part of the fun! We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the incredible scenery and found the experience worthwhile. Thank you for sharing your tips with future hikers, and thank you for choosing Mauritius Hikes.

Very good guide with vickram

Nadine_P, Aug 2025

Very steep trail with very slippery rock should be accurate on the site. 2 out of 5 people in our group had to turn around after 1 hour of walking
