Highlights of the Day
Hotel Pick-Up
Begin your adventure with a hotel pick-up anywhere in Mauritius. Meet your certified guide and enjoy a comfortable drive towards the island’s western region, where the Black River Gorges await — a haven for nature lovers and hikers.
Into the Heart of the Black River Gorges
The hike starts on a shady forest trail surrounded by thick, luxuriant vegetation. Birds sing overhead, and the gentle sound of rustling leaves sets the tone for an authentic outdoor experience.
As you ascend, the path winds through idyllic farmlands and wild meadows, leading deep into Mauritius’ most pristine landscapes.
Climb to the Highest Peak (828 m)
The second section of the trail becomes more challenging and occasionally slippery, revealing spectacular viewpoints overlooking the south coast, Le Morne Brabant lagoon, and the dramatic Black River Gorges below.
Each turn rewards you with ever-changing vistas of green hills, deep valleys, and rugged escarpments.
The final ascent — short yet exhilarating — brings you to the summit of Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire, standing proudly at 828 metres above sea level. From here, enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view across the island — from mountain peaks to turquoise lagoons and far-stretching sugarcane fields. It’s the perfect spot for breathtaking photos and quiet reflection.
️ Lunch & Relaxation
After your descent, unwind and enjoy a three-course Mauritian lunch at a local restaurant. Savour authentic island flavours — freshly prepared dishes that perfectly complement your day of adventure.
Your driver will then transfer you comfortably back to your hotel.
