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.

My first ever hike at Le Morne Brabant

May 07, 2026
Paj from Yanature was a wonderful and patient guide. It was my first trek ever and I could do it because he guided me at every step. He took us to most of the viewpoints on Le Morne Brabant and also taught us about the various plants and fauna on the way.
Great positive attitude and a v helpful guide!

Must do Waterfalls 💦

May 03, 2026
This is a must do in Mauritius! Most beautiful hike, with stunning vistas and gorgeous pools to swim in below the waterfalls. Paj was an excellent guide, had great knowledge of the fauna and flora and ensured our every (slippery) step was safe.

Great hike

May 01, 2026
Great guided tour with Rowin to the top of the mountain. Very insightful on hiking techniques and local history. Rowin was also great at chatting about life and day-to-day topic of Mauritius.
The hike is technically demanding but worth the effort. Recommend having good non slippery shoes and flexible shorts.
