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!
