Overview

Explore Le Morne from sky to sea! Start the day by climbing to the peak of Le Morne Brabant, one of only two UNESCO world heritage sites in Mauritius. From the top you'll be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the world famous Mauritian lagoon. After the hike, spend time relaxing at the beautiful Le Morne beach. Swim, suntan, or if you're feeling up for it, participate in one of the many activities Le Morne has to offer, including kitesurfing, windsurfing, stand up paddle, kayak and pedalo (please note that the price of these activities is not included). From the hike, you'll be able to enjoy beautiful views of the lagoon you'll swim at in the afternoon, and from the lagoon, you'll be able to enjoy views of the mountain you just hiked! Hotel pickup and dropoff is included.

Itinerary

To start the day, our driver will pick you up from your hotel in an air conditioned taxi or minibus and bring you to the village of Le Morne, where you will embark on a hike to the famous UNESCO world heritage site, 500m above sea level. Certified guides will accompany you up the mountain and through the forest. You will fall in love with the stunning, breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean from the peak. With a summit of approximately 500 metres above sea level, this was home to runaway slaves and maroons who sought to escape the suffering and atrocities of slavery. After the 3.5h-4h hike, our driver will be waiting for you, and will be able to take you to a restaurant of your choice to eat. After eating, it's time to relax! Explore the crystal clear water of Le Morne Beach, with its kilometers of white sand and large casuarina trees. Swim, suntan or participate in one of the many activities offered at the beach including stand up paddle, kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing and pedalo (note the price of these activities is not included).

The hike was amazing and Daryeau is such a fantastic guide. We really appreciated the way he supported us during the hike and that he showed us the natural beauties of Le Morne mountain. However, the experience has been jeopardized by the driver. His driving was very dangerous! And the worst part: although the description of this excursion literally writes “Spend the afternoon swimming, suntanning or participating in one of the many activities offered at the beach (…). At the end of the day, our driver will take drop you off at your hotel in time for dinner!”, our driver stated that he only had 8 hours trip planned, so he wanted to drive us back AT NOON. We had a very unpleasant argument and finally found a compromise. I kindly invite the organising company to settle this matter with the drivers they hire.

My partner and I had a really amazing hike with Daryeau! (+23054965720) He told us all about Le Morne and what a special and important place it is, its history and its nature. He took us on a lovely scenic route so that we could see as much of the wildlife and surrounding countryside as possible. For much of the hike it is a straightforward uphill walk, but there is a difficult 60m scramble towards the top which is not for the faint hearted. Daryeau guided us through this part very helpfully and calmly and it felt like a real achievement. Afterwards we relaxed on Le Morne beach which is gorgeous. A perfect morning!

We rate 3 stars as an average. The guide was a 5 star, but the driver was zero or even below. From the moment we was picked up, the driver was driving very dangerously and after some crazy overtaking attempts, we had to ask him to calm down and drive so we had a chance to survive the holiday. This let to a bit of argumentation, which seemed completely out of context. We are used to the “interesting” traffic at Mauritius - but this was simply too hazardous! Furthermore the driver took no attention to his guests in the car, with super loud radio, ice cold air conditioning and his general behavior. Which is sad, because the hike was actually ok. The guide was explaining a lot about the fauna on the mountain and generally polite, helpful and professional. During the climb the guide was taking so good care of us and making the hike itself a very nice experience - even in the pouring rain we had that day. So - do the hike, but find a safer way of transporting yourself to the mountain.
