Hiking at Le More Brabant in Mauritius

Oct 12, 2025
A challenging yet rewarding experience, that we couldn’t have done without Henri’s support, patience and guidance. Henri made sure everything was well organised, managed a diverse group, gave lots of insights about the history of the location, and showed great spirit, friendliness and encouragement. In addition to all of that, reaching the top of the mountain was a great opportunity to see breathtaking views and have unforgettable memories to bring back home!

Amazing Day at Seven Cascades

We had an incredible time on the Seven Cascades Canyoning Tour! The scenery was stunning and the whole experience felt adventurous yet safe. Our guide, Nicolas, was fantastic — friendly, patient, and very professional. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and helped us capture some great photos along the way. Highly recommended!
