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.

Amazing views from Le Brabant

The walk has spectacular panoramic views, but it is not for the faint hearted. This trip includes a park warden guide and this is definitely needed. The walk is steep and expect to climb steep, rocky slopes once above the tree line. The walk is done with other groups (as advertised) but as we apparently arrived half an hour late (we were picked up by tour at hotel on time so not sure why) the rest of the group had left on the walk, but thankfully one warden waited for us. We were blissfully unaware and to be honest this worked in our favour as we had the guide to ourselves, so wasn't an issue. He was excellent and I would not have got to the top without his advise! The tour took us to the waterfall and dunes, but this is basically in a taxi, which I wouldn't necessarily call a tour. I think we must have missed the final view point. The sights are worth seeing and the park guide crucial for safety but otherwise a taxi could just be hired for the day, especially as the National Park entrance fees you have to pay as extra anyway and no lunch is included.
Wonderful day exploring the south of Mauritius

We had a really wonderful day out! Raj picked up and drove us around and he was excellent. Had lots of local knowledge and patience as we wanted to explore. Our guide for the hike was excellent and we were blown away by his knowledge of the area. Highly recommend the trip!
Great morning at Le Morne Brabant and Chamarel

We got picked up at 5.15am by our taxidriver, and drove in the dark night towards the starting point of our hike. Met our guide Daryeau, and started the ascent, it was just the three of us, which is preferred, bigger group will take a longer time. We walked through the forest with frogs jumping around the path in our guides torchlight, and as we came further up we got to see the sun rise in the east We met one other small group on our way up. We had the top to our self, the view is amazing! You definitely need a guide up this mountain. It can be quite dangerous on your own. After the hike we drove to Chamarel, and got to see the beautiful waterfall and the seven colored earth. It's nice to be there early, not many people there then. We had been on Macondé on a different trip, so we did not go there by request. Definitely recommend this trip with Bonjour Mauritius. Ask for Daryeau to be your guide up Le Morne Brabant.
