29 tours  ·  from $41 a head

Tamarind Falls drops through seven pools in a single gorge and Chamarel falls a hundred metres in one go. These 15 are compared on how much walking there is, whether you swim at the bottom, and what the guides do after heavy rain.

Hike all seven Tamarind Falls with a local guide, swim in clear natural pools, enjoy a picnic lunch, and tackle a rewarding jungle trail.

“Most amazing trip, the guide was so good and really patient when it came to us the group wanting to take photos, take in the full view and telling us about the plants and area. It’s a hard tour if you want to do all 7 waterfalls at least if you want to go down to the pools and see them from below, but with our guide he. Had the patience to wait and make sure everyone caught their breath and was good to move on! And the lunch was amazing real local food, the taste was so good.. would recommend this hike to everyone no better way to see…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 62 reviews · 6 hours · from $55

Ride a speedboat from Trou d’Eau Douce to a river-mouth waterfall, Ile aux Cerfs beaches, and a barbecue lunch on Ilot Mangenie.

“L’excursion à l’Île aux Cerfs est globalement une belle expérience, mais il faut savoir que l’île est très touristique et un peu surcotée. Les plages sont jolies, mais ne correspondent pas forcément aux images de plages paradisiaques qu’on voit souvent sur les photos promotionnelles. La sortie jusqu’à la cascade est vraiment sympa, avec la présence de quelques singes qui ajoutent un petit côté sauvage à la visite. Le repas proposé était très bon, un vrai point positif de la journée. En revanche, l’organisation pour quitter l’île est un peu compliquée : il y a énormément de bateaux et de prestataires différents, ce qui rend parfois difficile de savoir exactement quelle…”

Explore Mauritius’s Tamarind Falls with guide Tee, swimming in waterfalls, tasting local fruit, and hiking a wild, muddy jungle trail.

“Notre excursion aux sept cascades restera un moment fort de notre séjour à l’île Maurice ! Le site est magnifique, l’ambiance est dépaysante et l’expérience est à vivre absolument pour tous les amoureux de nature et d’aventure. Le guide était sympathique, ce qui a rendu la journée encore plus agréable. Malheureusement, un petit imprévu a un peu gâché le début de notre journée : notre transfert en taxi, réservé à l’avance, a été annulé seulement 10 minutes avant l’heure prévue. Heureusement, notre guide a réagi très rapidement en venant nous chercher lui-même, ce qui nous a permis de ne pas rater l’excursion. Même si le confort n’était pas tout à…”
