Experience Le Morne Brabant like never before with a sunrise hike. In the calm of dawn, enjoy the fresh morning air and the soft light gradually illuminating the landscape around you. As you climb, hear nature waking up with the first birds singing.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is not only a natural wonder but also a place rich in history, symbolizing freedom for the runaway slaves who once sought refuge here. Along the way, you might spot the Trochetia Boutoniana, the endemic national flower of Mauritius.
It’s a peaceful and refreshing experience, perfect to start your day. At the top, be rewarded with incredible views of the southwest of the island in a serene atmosphere.

Amazing 🤩 Experience!!
We had so much fun hiking 🥾 and the guides were very patient with everybody, always making sure we were safe 🤗.
They gave us the history of the mountain ⛰️ and could speak not only French, but English too ensuring everyone understood.
We couldn’t climb 🧗♀️ all the way to the top due to unsafe weather conditions, but still was a memorable experience 😊
Short and sweet
Perfect views and super nice guide ROWIN
Great tour, great guide
