Introduction to the Black River Gorges

On land or sea, Mauritius’ unspoilt nature reveals its secrets through captivating hikes, memorable boat trips and unforgettable wildlife watching.

The Black River Gorges in Mauritius are a natural jewel of wild, unspoilt beauty. With its many hiking trails, this getaway offers total immersion in the island’s exotic nature.

The Gorges are home to a unique biodiversity, including the large green parrot, the Mares pigeon and the Mauritius kestrel. Birdwatchers will be delighted by the opportunities for wildlife observation in this unspoilt natural sanctuary. You may also come across the playful Mauritian macaques monkeys.

Outdoor activity enthusiasts will love the Gorges’ captivating hiking trails and panoramic views of the waterfalls and streams. The Gorges are accessible to all the family. You don’t need to be a great sportsman (unless you want the sportier, longer version that requires breath and fitness), a 30-minute walk takes you to an in-branch river ideal for cooling off.

Practical tips for a successful visit

To make the most of your experience in the Black River Gorges, some useful advice is essential.

The Gorges can be visited all year round, but if you want to avoid the summer heat, opt for the months of May to September, when the weather is mild, to fully explore the natural beauty of the Black River Gorges. The pleasant temperatures make hiking more comfortable.

The well-maintained, well-marked trails offer a variety of levels, from beginner to advanced. Discover the local flora and fauna while following routes such as the one leading to the Tamarin waterfall. Don’t miss the panoramic views from the Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire, the island’s highest peak.

Our recommendation for a 100% immersive experience: arrange to be accompanied by Yann, guide, trekker and great sportsman.

After a day of adventure, relax in your individual villa pool and round off a wonderful day in one of Black River’s excellent restaurants.  Mauritian, Indian, Chinese or Thai flavors will satisfy your appetite after an active day.
