Hiking in Mauritius


Hiking: The best region of Mauritius for free hiking is the west, due to the "Black River Gorges" National park from which several short and long hikes are possible and easily accessible.

There are however, plenty of wonderful tracks that are entirely or partly within private properties; either commercially open for guided hikes (such as the Yemen Park and the Domaine de L'Etoile) or giving access to one specific accredited and licensed excursionists, like Yemaya Adventures and Yanature, having exclusivity on these premises.

The sugar estate of St Felix, which has conserved some parts of its domain on each side of "Riviere des Galets" proposes an original way of hiking in nature using zip-lines, some at tree-top heights, running across the river.

Another way to hike is to stay at lodges like in L'Exil or Guesthouses like "La Vieille Cheminee" specifically set for the carrying out of hikes, within privately owned domains.

Abseiling and Mountain Climbing
This is a discipline newly developed in Mauritius, with, among others, "Alisios" which set several zip-lines and climbing installations on many of the most beautiful mountains and peaks of Mauritius. These hiking excursions are carried out with qualified guides.
