Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire from Chamarel

A short hike, but with steep slopes, to reach a beautiful summit offering superb 360° panoramic views, including a view of the ocean.

This is an easy hike that takes you to the highest point on the island at 828 metres. If you follow the ridge, the path is lined with trees all the way. You'll have to wait until you reach the summit to enjoy a splendid 360° view. Everything is worth the effort. You may encounter a few monkeys along the way.

A hike through spectacular and, above all, natural landscapes. The final stretch will take you to a 150-metre-high waterfall with a breathtaking view of the ocean. There is an opportunity to swim in a pool overlooking the valley.

Ascending Morne Brabant in Mauritius, the summit cannot be reached, but the point reached offers a 270° view, allowing you to enjoy the surroundings. It is a significant symbol, a place where slaves who had escaped, known as maroons, took refuge. The hike is moderate until you reach the point (4) and becomes very difficult from there.

A circular hike in Tamarin to see the seven waterfalls of Tamarin. Nice views of each waterfall as you walk. Very beautiful place.

One to one-and-a-half hour climb to reach the foot of Le Pouce on a plateau offering splendid views of both sides of the island. (Almost 360° view) Wear good shoes, as the start of the trail is rocky. In case of rain or after rain, the ground is slippery (second part).

We leave the Port Louis racecourse, where the statue of Edward VII and the Malartic Column are located, and head towards the Dauguet recreation area. Here you will find an oratory, a Hindu temple and exercise machines. From here, the trail to the summit of Le Pouce begins. Ninety per cent of the walk is through the woods, with beautiful trees and lush vegetation, but the trail is very stony and there are lots of mosquitoes.

Incredible view of the lagoon. Please note that the hike is difficult and poorly marked (especially the section through the sugar cane fields). Much of the hike involves climbing, with rocky surfaces and some very exposed sections. Avoid in rainy weather and if you are afraid of heights. Bring mosquito repellent.
