About the Tour
Take on the most demanding trail within the Black River Gorges National Park — a 25 km adventure designed for experienced trail runners.
This challenging route combines steep climbs, long ridge sections, and technical descents through some of the island’s most remote and untouched forest.
The highlight of the run is reaching Mauritius’ highest point, the Black River Peak (828 m), where panoramic views stretch across the mountains, forests, and coastline.
It’s a physically intense but deeply rewarding experience, offering a true taste of the island’s wild beauty and rugged terrain.
Cumulative altitude gained: 1300m.

What people say about us:
A beautiful hike with an experienced guide
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.
Great Hike and an amazing guide named Gilles!
A very challenging hike with a highly experienced, motivated, friendly and helpful guide named Gilles. Highly recommended.
Up and down La Pouce
Great hike up La Pouce with Udish. Amazing views all across the island. Would highly recommend. Saw a flying fox and beautiful flowers.
Highlight of our holidays!
“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!
The best in Mauritius
Best company for many different excursions around Mauritius. I had the chance to meet different guides (Rowin, Jan, Geremy, Regine, Fabrice). They are all super nice, professional and respectful for Nature. They work with passion and very well prepared 💯
