About this experience

The first section is a steady walk through coastal forest, opening up to beautiful views over the turquoise lagoon. We keep a calm pace so the group stays together and enjoys the scenery.
The second part of the Le Morne Brabant guided hike is more challenging, with steeper rocky sections and short scrambling where you’ll use your hands. Your guide shows safe foot placements, supports you on technical parts, and ensures no one is rushed or left behind. This is a small-group hike focused on safety.
Along the way, your guide shares the story that gives this mountain its soul. Le Morne was once a refuge for maroons: enslaved people who escaped plantations and hid in the cliffs.
You’ll learn why this place became a symbol of resistance and why it still matters deeply in Mauritian history today.At the main viewpoint, you’re rewarded with panoramic views over the lagoon, reef, and coastline. There’s time for photos, water, and a quiet moment to take it all in.
