About the Tour

Embark on a challenging and rewarding 5-hour journey through the iconic 7 Cascades, designed for the more adventurous explorer. Your hike begins with a walk through vast sugarcane fields, setting a tranquil tone before you enter the lush canyon. Along the way, your expert guide will lead you through a steep and remote section of the trail, sharing fascinating insights into Mauritius’s unique ecosystem, from its plants and animals to its rich history.

After about 30 minutes of trekking, you’ll arrive at the first of many waterfalls. Over the course of the tour, you’ll discover all the waterfalls of this beautiful valley, each with its own distinct charm. You’ll have the opportunity to cool off by swimming in the refreshing natural pools that have been carved out of the rock at the foot of the falls.

This full-day excursion requires a higher level of fitness, but the unforgettable views and sense of accomplishment make it well worth the effort. For a shorter, easier version of this adventure, you can choose our half-day hike.

Rowin Rocked our walk to the 6 waterfalls

Sep 06, 2025
Such a beautiful easy breezy yet stimulating trek through the woody greens and some rocky terrain with an opportunity to stop off at six different waterfalls. Very picturesque and made comfortable to hike with our guide Rowin.

We had an amazing hiking experience to Tamarin falls with our guide Gilles, he was really supportive, and nice to us, he took us pictures and he told stories about the history of Mauritius and let us try the sugar water coming from the canne plant.
It was a very great day! Thank you so much 🙂

Great views

Sep 03, 2025
A hike with stunning views. Unfortunately, the upper part of the mountain was closed due to an accident occurred two weeks before (hence the 4 stars out of 5), but the presence of the guides (Gilles and Elisa) improved our experience by taking us through less known paths and by enriching the activity with interesting anecdotes and useful tips for our stay on the island. Highly recommended.

My son really enjoyed the hike up Le Morne Brabant, despite the changeable weather. Fabrice was a really knowledgable guide and great company for his first solo hike.
