The first section of the hike travels through the forest of the mountain, allowing you to enjoy a nice meditative walk for 600 meters in the midst of indigenous plants and trees. The hike then continues to a section where you can enjoy magnificent views towards Port Louis and other peaks of the Moka range. Following 700 meters you will reach the shoulder of the mountain, at an altitude of 736 meters. This section is basically a large slightly inclined grassy land, providing amazing views towards the south and northeastern part of Mauritius. The hike continues to the peak. The last part towards the summit requires some rock scrambling. Once you arrive to the summit, be rewarded with an incredible 360-degree panoramic view. Whilst on the summit you are given enough time to relax and receive more information about your surroundings. Make your way back to the meeting point with your professional mountaineer ensuring your security the entire way.

This river trek is one which includes all the activities you would dream of on a day out in nature. From walking in the woods, climbing slopes, swimming in natural pools, being massaged in jacuzzis, drooling on majestic views and finding hidden treasures of nature, we did it all. Kevin was the right person to guide me throughout this superb trek. His friendly and composed character made the experience even more pleasant, grounding and smooth despite the challenge. This is a must-go place to anyone visiting or living in Mauritius. Thumbs up Horazis for bringing me this unique experience!!

As from there, accompanied by our experienced and certified mountaineer, you will be trekking into enchanted rainforests of the Tamarind Falls, filled with exotic plants and birds. The trek includes; walking in the woods, multiple river crossing, relaxing in a natural jacuzzi, enjoying a waterfall massage, experiencing the "fish pedicure" and 3 rock scrambling sections which can be tackled by trekkers with little to no experience in trekking. You will also have enough time to relax and enjoy the astonishing views of all the falls. Jumping from one plateau to another is prohibited.
