Hiking in the Black River Gorges National Parc Native Forest

Step into one of Mauritius’ most extraordinary natural landscapes with an experience in the Black River Gorges National Park—a place where untouched rainforest, dramatic mountains, and rare wildlife come together in one unforgettable adventure. What makes this activity truly unique is the chance to explore the island’s largest protected forest, home to endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. As you hike through lush trails, you’ll pass towering trees, hidden valleys, and breathtaking viewpoints and vast green canyons. If you’re up for a challenge, you can even make your way toward Black River Peak, the highest point in Mauritius, for panoramic island views. Unlike typical sightseeing, this is a full immersion into wild nature—where every step reveals something new, from rare birds like the pink pigeon and echo parakeet to the peaceful silence of untouched forest. The Black River Gorges is worth visiting for all trekkers, as well as for the pure nature lovers and bird-watchers.
