Overview

Step into one of Mauritius’ most extraordinary natural landscapes with an experience in the Black River Gorges National Park—a place where untouched rainforest, dramatic mountains, and rare wildlife come together in one unforgettable adventure.

What makes this activity truly unique is the chance to explore the island’s largest protected forest, home to endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. As you hike through lush trails, you’ll pass towering trees, hidden valleys, and breathtaking viewpoints and vast green canyons. If you’re up for a challenge, you can even make your way towards Black River Peak, the highest point in Mauritius, for panoramic island views.

Unlike typical sightseeing, this is a full immersion into wild nature—where every step reveals something new, from rare birds like the pink pigeon and echo parakeet to the peaceful silence of untouched forest.

The Black River Gorges is worth visiting for all trekkers, as well as for the pure nature lovers and bird-watchers.

Other than expanding your knowledge on our native wildlife, having a guide by your side gives you a feeling of reassurance. You don't need to worry about being left behind- getting lost is out of question. With years of experience, the guide has also learnt the trail inside out, hence, you might access shortcut paths and secret alleys that lead to wondrous spots that you’d have never expected. The views you will encounter during this hike are breathtaking- a wide, beautiful gorge curving down between a series of mountains; spectacular waterfalls cascading down the hillside with a range of mountains behind them and many more. The park protects most of the island's remaining rainforest. Many endemic plants and animals can be found in the park, including the Mauritian flying fox and all of the island's endemic birds: Mauritius kestrel, Pink Pigeon, Mauritius Parakeet, Mauritius Cuckoo-Shrike, Mauritius Bulbul, Mauritius Olive White-Eye, Mauritius Grey White-Eye and the Mauritius Fody.
