The 11 Best Waterfall Hikes in Mauritius

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

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 588 reviews · 3 hours · from $58Our pick

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.”

“Guide was Andy and he was great!!! Really well paced for us and was very kind, snacks were great also.

Prepared to be dirty using hands rocks and branches to get up as some aspects are very steep and can be slippery. However it was perfect for us and didn’t mind the mud or rain at all.”

Hike Mauritius’s Tamarind Falls with a small group, swim beneath waterfalls, enjoy a fish spa, and return with pickup included.

“Pick up well organised, was on time with a friend ly driver who played music and chatted with us. Our hiking guide was absolutely fantastic, knew the trail inside out. He kept us safe and made sure we didn’t slip or fall. He also brought snacks and a homemade lunch by his mother. He took lots of pictures of us, but also allowed us to enjoy the hike and the breakdown without interrupting. It was probably the best trip we did on this vacation. I must say that this hike is quite challenging because it is very steep, you absolutely have to climb / hold on with your hands at…”

Review of Mauritius’ Tamarind Falls hike, with seven cascades, natural pools, expert guides, safety tips, difficulty, and value at $84.

“The Seven Waterfalls hike with Jeremie and Regine was amazing! We were in a small group of just the two of us, making the experience very personal. The trail offered stunning viewpoints for photography and a chance to swim under waterfalls (though we skipped it—too cold for us! 😄). Jeremie’s and Regine’s love for nature truly made the hike special. They led us to hidden, authentic spots where we didn’t meet a single person. They showed us unique plants, animals, and even mentioned you can taste termites (apparently, they taste like peanuts! 🐜). What impressed us most was their genuine care for the environment. Unlike others, they approach every hike…”
