Overview

The Black River Gorges National Park, 67.54 km² of pure, wild, nature. The heart of Mauritius island, home of many endemic species, both animal and floral.

It offers a great discovery of the nature of the island.

During this hike we will discover different viewpoints from which we can contemplate different parts of the park and its surroundings.

Half-way up our climb, we discover the “Mare aux Joncs Gorge” that we like to call the “Bats Valley” because of the thousands of Mauritan Fruit-Bats we can observe there.

On top of our ascension, at 400m above sea level we get an amazing sight on the West-Coast, its lagoons and beautiful villages amountains. From there, we start our back back down until the black-river where we can stop to enjoy a nice swim before continuing and reach back our starting point, where we’ve met a few hours earlier.

    Very nice walk through the forest. Very interesting explanations from our guide Yuddish. Nice swim in the river at the end. We recommend strongly !

    Very nice hike with small group through jungle and along 5 waterfalls. Stunning views, true jungle experience. Great guide (Yudish) who took good care of us and gave good tips and explanations on the way. Only thing was it was quite busy due to Christmas season and they could maybe have spaced the groups a bit better. Amazing swim under last waterfall

    Awesome walk/hike in Gorges national park with Judish and Rowin, and a lovely other couple who joined as well. The early start was a good idea, nice views, interesting talks. The level of hike was moderate - easy, around 2 hours. The walk is mostly in the shadow and ends - if preferred - with a refreshing bath in the river. Must do! Thank you Judish & Rowin for this nice start into the day !

    Very enjoyable and interesting hike with Yudish and Rowin. The guides gave us lots of interesting information and were extremely friendly and helpful. They went at a suitable pace for the group. Some of the walk was quite steep but there were plenty of stops to admire the views and a welcome swim at the end. A very good experience. We would definitely use Yanature again.

    The company sorting out the hike weren’t very responsive while we were trying to organise the hike through Mautourco. But the hike was wonderful and the guide, Fabrice, was delightful, pointing out the local wildlife and geography.
