The mountainous topography of Heritage Nature Reserve (ex Frederica Nature Reserve) offers breath taking views, vast plains where stags parade majestically, impressive waterfalls and intact natural beauty. The scenery is overwhelming and can be discovered through several activities: quad biking, buggy, safari 4x4 and trekking. We have two sessions per day: Morning 9h00 Afternoon 13h00

We visited HNR as a family of four for the Eco Buggy tour, using two buggies. Our guide Jerome was friendly, very knowledgeable and informative, leading us and another family who were on quad bikes on this excellent tour. We saw deer, wild boar, fruit bats and interesting termite colonies, before visiting the waterfall. The water was very muddy, presumably due to the heavy overnight rain, but the location was idyllic. The buggies were great fun to drive, particularly in the muddy areas, and our younger son (14) is insistent that we must return when he is old enough (16) to drive one. We booked online the day before our visit and intended to get a taxi from our hotel, which was only a couple of miles away, but we didn't want to walk along the busy road. The hotel receptionist advised we wouldn't need a taxi and rang HMR, who sent a mini-bus to pick us up and also brought us back again, free of charge. Lovely service from the whole team at HNR.

My children were very excited and happy of their visit at the park. We were impressed by the big crocodiles dozing in the sun or swimming in the pond. The baby crocodiles were cute but their sharp teeth better not to mess with them... :-0. It was the first time that we saw Lemurs and ate crocodile meat!!! We also visited the different museums - inserts, fossils and dodo. What the children loved most were the giant tortoise that they were able to feed and climb on them to take photos. After visiting the funny monkeys we spend some time in the farm and playground. The park is a must especially if you have children!!!

Gris Gris is an interesting natural sight when the waves crash against the shoreline with ferocious intensity. You can stand above the rugged cliffs and might even feel spray from below. The winds are often so high that any nearby trees grow with a bent angle. Access is free but I would only recommend a visit if you are nearby in the South. There are a couple of local restaurants in the area, which are perfect for lunch. As beautiful as it was, it's not a trip to be made specially or to go out of your way, unless you are already in the South.

Reviewed By TravelbugWesternCape - Mauritius, null
Slightly off the beaten track, this gem of an attraction was not overcrowded and is a stunning place to visit. The approach - like most of Mauritius currently - is riddled with litter, which is sad. the falls and area around though are kept spotless by what seems to be a self-appointed curator who can also supply visitors with fresh fruit, a coconut or two - and will assist people across the river. We visited twice in December 2019 - once before - and once just after a tropical storm. This afforded 2 totally different experiences. One with the falls utterly delightful and the other rather wild. Swimming in the pool a the foot of the falls is fun and refreshing either way. - Definitely a highly recommended place to visit on Mauritius

Welcome to la Vallee des Couleurs, haven of peace and beauty. Forget all your worries and daily stress and let yourself be carried away by the mystery of this fantastic panorama. La Vallee des Couleurs is an extraordinary place where you can have the opportunity to contemplate a beautiful land, which is composed of twenty-three colours. A lush vegetation, birds, animals, endemic plants, ponds, rivers, waterfalls and the multicoloured earth form this magnificent landscape. Explore this real beauty of nature with a stroll on foot, trip on the different types of quad bike, buggy or doing a safari in our Range Rover. You can also visit "La Vallee des Couleurs" by using the different points of zip lines which covers the entire park. Our zipline of 1.5 kms is among the longest in the world and the longest in the Indian Ocean, which will give you a "once in a lifetime" sensation, where photos will be taken as souvenir. The Nepalese Bridge of 350 metres covers is a sensational one, where the adventurous person will be able to see the forest as well as animals passing by like the deer and the macaques. La Vallee des Couleurs" is a pleasure for all senses: the songs of birds and the sounds of waterfalls are like the sweetest music and the picturesque view is a pure delight for the eyes. The restaurant of the valley provides delicious meals that will ravish you if ever you feel hungry.
