Discover Tamarind Falls through a Guided Hiking Trip (Half Day)

Located in the South Western part of Mauritius, the spellbinding Tamarind Falls, commonly known as ‘Sept Cascades’ is one of the natural wonders of Mauritius. And there is no better way to explore this green paradisiacal location than through a wonderful trek.

This half-day hike to Tamarind Falls is one the most popular hiking trips on the island, offering an exciting adventure through varied terrains, including inclines, rocky paths, and root-covered trails. Sometimes, you may need to use your hands to steady yourself by grabbing branches, adding to the fun. A bit of fitness helps, but it's all part of the enjoyable challenge

Throughout your trek, you will experience a wonderful connection with nature as you discover 5 of the 13 waterfalls, one after the other. This can be an amazing opportunity to cut off, break away from your daily routine and rejuvenate yourself amid nature.

Sometimes the walk will be in the forest and sometimes in an open area on the basalt rocks near the water. You will be stunned by the view from the enthralling waterfall of 40 meters, the marvelous sight of the lush green canyon, and many other captivating features.

Passing behind the spectacular waterfalls is simply a blissful experience, whereby you can see rays of sunlight reflected through the waterfall. The large, refreshing pond at the foot of the waterfall is very much accessible for a pleasant swim. You can also enjoy a natural massage standing under the cascade.

With each fall, you will have the chance to enjoy unique scenery and setting due to its height and flow of water. It is important to have an experienced guide alongside you in order to guarantee your safety and guide you through the best available paths.
