About this experience

Customer will hike to 4 out of the 7 waterfalls. They will be accompanied by a professional guide and will be provided with all assistance with private hotel pick up and drop off.

Hiking to Tamarind Fall with its breathtaking views of mountains, rivers, forests and waterfalls, discovering a magnificent nature paradise. Located amidst thick green bushes and trees, the blue waters flowing over the cascade become too irresistible, and you cannot help but get inside the waters just for a small dip at least. The entire scene is really hypnotic and pulls you closer.

One should feel free to have a swim in the water or enjoy a natural massage standing under the cascade. No doubt this is one of the most beautiful and calmest places in Mauritius, and one of the best places for nature and animals' lovers, and for finding exotic plants and birds.If you think the photos look nice, believe me that it’s twice as nice in reality.

It supplies water to two reservoirs of the island, notably Mare Longue Reservoir and Tamarind reservoir. The Tamarind waterfalls also supply the main hydroelectric power station on the island. Passing behind the spectacular waterfalls is simply a blissful experience. The large, refreshing pond which is at the foot of the waterfall is very much accessible for a pleasant swim. You can also enjoy a natural massage under the cascade.

Being a volcanic island, it has several breathtaking summits and valleys to explore on foot. The island is well known for its distinct flora and fauna.
