About this experience
Be part of something meaningful.
Le Morne Brabant is more than a mountain, it is a powerful symbol of freedom in Mauritius. By booking with Local Spirit, you directly support a local company rooted in Le Morne village.
Many can guide the path, but not everyone can share Le Morne the way we do. Since 2014, we have worked exclusively with guides from the village, creating employment for local families and contributing to community initiatives, including activities for seniors and educational support for local schools.
Our mission goes beyond guiding a hike. We aim to offer an authentic, respectful, and memorable experience , one that stays with you long after you leave Mauritius.
