Informative hike with insights on the island. - Fabrice was amazing, before visiting Mauritius we had multiple questions around the dense nature on the island. During our hike, he shared historical insights of the island and details around the nature making our trip quite informative. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience - We went on a hike with family including our kids aged 9 & 12 to the black river gorges national park. Our guide Henri was extremely efficient, kind and very informative too. He was patient and answered all our queries then & there. We saw the native ebony trees, the nearly extinct pink pigeons , ate plenty of native wild guavas both red & yellow, tasted wild red peppers. We saw quite a few endemic plants , beautiful view of tamarin bay, flic en flac beach & also saw the three highest peaks in Mauritius 🇲🇺 Henri was quite affluent with the local flora & we enjoyed our hike a lot.

Beautiful hike - We had a lovely hike in the Black River Gorges national park with Gilles our tour guide, who was informative, knowledgeable and kind. Beautiful scenery and it wasn't too overrun with tourists. We went at a good pace and Gilles pointed out and told us about some of the vegetation and wildlife in the area. It has been one of our highlights from our trip to Mauritius so far. Thank you Gilles very much for such a great and memorable hike.

Super hike - Great ride! Henri is a listening guide who willingly shares his knowledge about the island. We had already done Le Morne and the 5 waterfalls with Yanaventure, we were never disappointed!

Black gorge hike with Regine - Regine guided us brilliantly around the Black Gorge, it was a pleasure to spend time with her and she was knowledgeable about nature and the area. We loved the different parts of the walk - steep walk, in the forest and then by the river. The swim was a highlight, so refreshing.
