2.Mauritius: Tamarind Falls Highlights 3-Hour Hiking Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 588 reviews · 3 hours · from $58Best value

Review of Mauritius’s Tamarind Falls hike, with waterfall swims, rainforest trails, guide quality, fitness advice, and practical tips.

“We had an enjoyable afternoon walking the Tamarind falls with Yudish. I’m so glad we chose to do this trip, the waterfalls were spectacular. Yudish made sure we were safe at all times and we had ample time for photos and swimming. He was informative about the area and the wildlife. I would definitely recommend a guide as the trails are not easy to find and to make sure you go the safest way down. I’d say the hike is suitable for people with reasonable fitness and sure footing. Occasional scrambling required and a lot easier if wearing hiking boots and trainers for grip.”
