We had a wonderful morning doing this tour. The organization was very easy as we got picked up and brought back to our hotel with 2 very kind and helpful drivers, who taught us a lot about the mauritian history and stopped at additional highlights along the way. We were very happy having our guide for the hike, as the track was partially hidden and you need some tips and tricks for more difficult parts. The waterfalls were wonderful and Manish never got tired of explaining and taking beautiful pictures for us. (In case you want a guide and photographer in one, he is your man ;) ) We even had a refreshing swim in a natural pool under a waterfall and if you're adventurous you can jump from 6m or even 10m into the deep pools. Overall we can summarize as a great halfday trip that we would recommend to everyone!

Thank you for the feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the hiking tour along with the transfer. See you again in Mauritius.

Amazing Mauritian hiking experience!

Cindy_S, Nov 2024

Viskash was wonderful! He taught us about Mauritian culture, drove us safely to and from our hotel, and was flexible. Our hiking guide, Richi was excellent! He was helpful and informative throughout the entire hike. Best of all, he ensured the safety of everyone he guided, even if it meant lagging behind to physically assist. At the end of our hike we ate a delicious authentic Indo-Mauritian restaurant called Ebony Table D'Hote.

Hello Cindy, Thank you for the feedback. We are glad you like the drive, the hike and the food. You and your friends were wonderful guests.

Absolutely worth it

Clemens_M, Feb 2024

The hike led us to beautiful places but the difficulty of it should not be underestimated. It was quite some climbing involved and the ground was slippery in some parts. You’ll likely get quite a bit muddy and get wet feet! Unfortunately, the last and biggest waterfall was quite crowded, which was a bit of a bummer. But a nice sight still. Getting your feet “massaged” by small fishes at one of the earlier waterfalls was also a fun experience. Don’t miss it! The tour was actually not as ‘private’ as I expected, though, in our case. We booked it for my wife and me only, and our transfer to the starting point was only us. But there we had four other people waiting and two guides. The other tourists were nice and the guides very friendly so that we didn’t mind too much. But the tour description said participants would only be members of our group and that the price depends on group size. Well, we booked as a group of two and ended up doing the tour in a group of six with two guides. Despite that misunderstanding it was a tour very much worth experiencing. Recommendable.

Thank you for the feedback. Generally we accept up to 6 guests in a group. We will try to make this part clearer. Thanks again for booking with us.

Amazing!!

Kavi was our driver for the day and he was great, he has lots of knowledge on the history of Mauritius which he provided on the journeys. Ken was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Very friendly, and very knowledgable of the area we were hiking in. The hike isn’t too challenging, however there are some steep areas on the way down, and about 5 minutes of steep climbing on the way back up, however Ken was very patient and made sure we were all safe. He’s also a great photographer and took lots of photos of us all. Overall it was a really great experience and would recommend to most people, especially if you get Kavi or Ken as your driver/ guide!! Thank you

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you, Darcey. Kavi and Ken are the best and continue to guide our guests with passion and commitment.

Wonderful experience

Janet_M, Sep 2023

we had a great time with Ken our guide, he was very helpful and attentive, the waterfalls were spectacular especially swimming in the pool below one of the waterfalls, and watching the younger ones jumping off the rocks into the pool, we also got a free fish pedicure, you need good walking shoes as it can be slippery but Ken helped us, thank you, we would recommend this trip

Hello Janet. Thanks again for the feedback and recommendation.

Wonderful morning at 7 waterfalls

Jenny_D, Jan 2023

My friend and I had a wonderful morning hiking the 7 waterfalls. Vikash was extremely prompt and considerate throughout the booking and entire experience. We decided to not complete the final waterfall so arrived back earlier than expected and he was quick to come pick us Ip. Our guide was Hamish and we were so happy to have a guide. We would never have been able to find the paths nor scramble through a few of the steeper sections without him. While the elevation and length wasn’t super challenging there are some tricky parts with loose rocks and slippery so be prepared but you can go at your own pace which makes it perfect.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Jenny, Thank you very much for the feedback. Look forward to seeing you and Dana back here.

Journée exceptionnelle avec Rishi

Julie_P, Nov 2022

Journée superbe de super points de vues et de baignades, je recommande vraiment le guide Rishi vraiment de bons conseils ! Vous pouvez demander à Vikash d organiser une ascension du morne Barbant accessible à tous niveau (j ai le vertige et j y suis arrivée) et le point de vue en haut est exceptionnel sur l illusion d optique de la cascade sous marine.
