About the Tour

Discover one of Mauritius’ most spectacular natural sites with a hike to Tamarind Falls, also known as the “7 Cascades.” Hidden in the island’s lush interior, this trail leads you through tropical forest, sugarcane fields, and down into a canyon where some of the tallest waterfalls of Mauritius await.

Over about three hours, you’ll explore five of the thirteen waterfalls that make up this stunning site, including the famous Tamarind Falls with a total height of nearly 300 meters. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of surrounding mountains, rivers, and gorges.

Take the chance to swim in natural rock pools carved by the cascades, and let your guide share stories about Mauritius’ history as well as insights into its unique flora and fauna.

The hike is accessible to most but includes some steep and rugged sections, making it a rewarding adventure for nature lovers and anyone wishing to experience a wilder side of Mauritius.

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!

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!
