Tougher challenge than I was expecting but a really great thing to do and pleased to have done it. Bryn inspired confidence and looked after us really well.

Bryn was the best guide, so informative and helpful. He also took amazing photos and videos of us and shared them with us afterwards! We had such a fun time hiking and swimming under the waterfall. Would highly recommend this to everyone! Thank you so much!

Experience

Highlights

  • See the highest vertical drop waterfall in Mauritius
  • Enjoy exclusive access to a protected conservation area
  • Enjoy a refreshing swim directly under the waterfall

Full description

Make your way to the stunning Seven Colored Earth Geopark to meet your trek guide. Start with an adventurous gorge decent that includes four challenging river crossings. Be prepared to climb and scramble over rocks and wade through the river at points. You'll know the hard work was worth it when you reach the beautiful Chamarel Falls at the base of the gorge. Marvel at the highest vertical drop waterfall in Mauritius and enjoy a refreshing swim in the waterfall pool as the water cascades around you. Enjoy the sights and sounds of a plethora of endemic plant, animal, and bird species in this protected area and experience a quintessential “tropical adventure!”. Please be reminded that this an “adventurous activity” that requires climbing / bouldering techniques over slippery and uneven sloping terrain paired with river fording and swimming in strong currents! You are not - simply going for a walk (and this is not an advised activity for any person that does not have a strong swimming proficiency!).

It was much harder than anticipated, you really need a level fitness to scramble up and down the rocks. It also took much longer than the 3 hours quoted , more like 4 1/2. The video and photos Bryn took were amazing though and it was a unique experience.
