Black River Gorges Hiking Tour

Embark on a hiking adventure in the largest national park in Mauritius, the Black River Gorges.

Over a four-hour trek, explore lush vegetation boasting over 300 species of trees and plants, along with diverse wildlife like birds, monkeys, and reptiles.

Traverse the Macchabée forest trails offering panoramic views of valleys and mountains, and capture the beauty of cascading waterfalls.
