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.”
