Top 15 Waterfall Tours in Mauritius

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

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

Meet your English or French-speaking guide at Henrietta Bus Station for a three-hour hike through sugarcane fields, rainforest, and volcanic canyon. You’ll visit several Tamarind Falls, swim in rock pools, and learn about local plants, wildlife, and Mauritius from guides such as Yudish, Olivier, and Jeremie.

“Olivier was a fantastic guide. He put everyone at ease with fluency in French and English and was focused on ensuring everyone safely enjoyed the experience. He was very clear with his briefing and was very knowledgeable about the region and what we were seeing. The hike was up and down the valley and so did require a level of physical capability to pick your way up and down the slopes….but Olivier was really helpful every step of the way. The hike goes through one of the most beautiful river valleys we have seen and will be an incredible memory for us all. Great experience and thoroughly recommended.”

3.Mauritius: 7 Waterfalls Hike with Lunch and Hotel Transfers

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 454 reviews · 5 hours · from $110

Follow a guide such as Daryeau or Darryl through the forest to all seven Tamarind Falls. Expect slippery rocks, steep sections, swimming, a fish foot spa, local plant stories, picnic food, and hotel pickup across Mauritius.

“Couldn’t fault the tour. You can get there easily wherever you are on the island. Our guide was great. It is a tougher hike with steep gradients, but so worth it. Wear a swimsuit under your hiking clothes and you’ll dry quickly enough to chuck clothes back on over the top. It was a group tour even though advertised as private which does mean you’re dictated but other people’s pace. Wear shoes with grip, bring insect repellent and bring your own water even though it says your guide will provide.”

Overall general hike to the waterfalls was easy enough but had underestimated the hike back up after - it was quite challenging as it was bit slippery from yesterday rain, so make sure to wear proper shoes. Also bring a change of clothes! The guide and my group were supportive, patient and made sure to take regular breaks on the way back up - so thank you to you all! Communication from provider prior to the trip was fantastic and arranged a transfer from my hotel, made it so easy! Lunch provided was filling.

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.”

9.Ile aux Cerfs: Island & Waterfall Speedboat Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 62 reviews · 6 hours · from $55

You’ll travel by speedboat from Trou d’Eau Douce to Grand River South East, then swim at Ile aux Cerfs and eat a barbecue lunch on Ilot Mangenie. A live guide can assist in French, English, Urdu, Hindi, or Arabic. Lunch drinks are included, but lobster costs extra.

“L’excursion à l’Île aux Cerfs est globalement une belle expérience, mais il faut savoir que l’île est très touristique et un peu surcotée. Les plages sont jolies, mais ne correspondent pas forcément aux images de plages paradisiaques qu’on voit souvent sur les photos promotionnelles. La sortie jusqu’à la cascade est vraiment sympa, avec la présence de quelques singes qui ajoutent un petit côté sauvage à la visite. Le repas proposé était très bon, un vrai point positif de la journée. En revanche, l’organisation pour quitter l’île est un peu compliquée : il y a énormément de bateaux et de prestataires différents, ce qui rend parfois difficile de savoir exactement quelle…”

10.Mauritius: Tamarind Falls Canyoning Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 41 reviews · 3 hours · from $88

Join guides such as Nico, Jeremy, Gregory, or Nikolai for a three-hour canyoning trip through Tamarind Falls. Learn the basics, rappel down three waterfalls, ride a natural zipline, and choose an optional jump. Small groups, photos, and hiking alternatives make it approachable for beginners.

“We had so much fun travelling at a very relaxed rate down the waterfalls. Nico and Gregory made it really fun and it was completely safe and at your own pace (dynamic or slow) throughout. It is a stunning way to exploring some of the 7 waterfalls, I don’t think you’d get half the experience just walking around. Strongly recommend and it was wonderful for Nico to take all the GoPro photos for us on our trip so we can remember our adventure.”

“Notre excursion aux sept cascades restera un moment fort de notre séjour à l’île Maurice ! Le site est magnifique, l’ambiance est dépaysante et l’expérience est à vivre absolument pour tous les amoureux de nature et d’aventure. Le guide était sympathique, ce qui a rendu la journée encore plus agréable. Malheureusement, un petit imprévu a un peu gâché le début de notre journée : notre transfert en taxi, réservé à l’avance, a été annulé seulement 10 minutes avant l’heure prévue. Heureusement, notre guide a réagi très rapidement en venant nous chercher lui-même, ce qui nous a permis de ne pas rater l’excursion. Même si le confort n’était pas tout à…”
