About the Tour

Discover one of Mauritius’ most spectacular natural sites with a hike to Tamarind Falls, also known as the “7 Cascades.” Hidden in the island’s lush interior, this trail leads you through tropical forest, sugarcane fields, and down into a canyon where some of the tallest waterfalls of Mauritius await.

Over about three hours, you’ll explore five of the thirteen waterfalls that make up this stunning site, including the famous Tamarind Falls with a total height of nearly 300 meters. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of surrounding mountains, rivers, and gorges.

Take the chance to swim in natural rock pools carved by the cascades, and let your guide share stories about Mauritius’ history as well as insights into its unique flora and fauna.

The hike is accessible to most but includes some steep and rugged sections, making it a rewarding adventure for nature lovers and anyone wishing to experience a wilder side of Mauritius.

A beautiful hike with an experienced guide

Oct 18, 2025
A beautiful hike with an experienced guide. We did the hike in the afternoon, starting around 1:15 and that was perfect, as we were climbing in the shades. We stopped a few times to have a break. Like that it was not too exhausting.

Highlight of our holidays!

Oct 16, 2025
“Absolute highlight of our Mauritius trip. The e-bikes made exploring the southern coast effortlest, and the route was unreal, cliffs, turquoise lagoon, and herds of cows on the beach 🙂 Great pace, clear briefings, and plenty of photo stops. Can’t recommend it enough. Thanks to Henri for an amazing morning!
