Hiking Sept Cascades (Tamarind Falls) - Half Day
Description
The Tamarind Falls, also called the 7 cascades, is an enjoyable hike in the heart of the island. Our 3 hours guided hike is a highlight of the best waterfalls on the spot. Surrounded by lush green forests and dark volcanic rocks, we progress on single tracks and open areas offering astonishing views upon the falls and the canyons. During the walk, we have the possibility to enjoy a nice swim in the natural pool that water has carved in the rock, and appreciate a natural massage under the cascades. Please note that this is not a flat hike; it involves traversing varied terrain with both ascents and descents over rocky surfaces and steep sections with roots. You may encounter challenging and technical parts along the trail. In some instances, you may need to rely on your hands for support, using branches or tree roots to navigate through these sections.

What a beautiful trip! Very friendly and good guide, Paj. He helped our daughter, who is really used to long hikes, but not to steep descents like this hike, very well. We think the age limit of 10 is really a good limit. For younger kids it is a tough hike.
Super experience!! Without expecting that those waterfalls exist in Mauritius🌴 🐒 with a slip here and there but with our guide Christopher everything was phenomenal 🤗💪 100% recommended
Very positive experience. The Sept Cascades reserve is simply wonderful, with its own micro-climate. The path was made a bit complicated by the previous rains, but with the patience of our guide, Gilles, even a person not particularly experienced like me was able to complete it in maximum safety and having fun. I highly recommend this excursion to get an idea of the extreme landscape variety of the island of Mauritius.
Beautiful wild experience with trekking of different levels. Tackled with my children aged 11 and 12, they handled it great with sneakers for jogging or running without any problems
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a very beautiful experience during the 7 waterfalls tour! A big thank you to our guide, Rowin, who was truly wonderful throughout the excursion. He was very kind, patient, and always attentive. He helped me enormously during the climbs and descents of the mountain, especially in the most difficult passages, and thanks to him I felt safe throughout the journey. I really recommend this excursion, and especially Rowin as a guide! Thanks again for this magnificent experience!
Rowan was a great guide , very friendly , kind and well informed , it was very rainy and he made sure everyone was safe throughout the hike
Magnificent excursion with Rowin as a guide who is top-notch. We highly recommend.
Wonderful experience, adventurous and fun. Our guide Rowin was amazing, keeping us motivated and excited about the trip through entire hike. Few important tips however... this route is for in-shape hikers. You need to make sure that you have proper equipment, especially hiking shoes since the path is steep and slippery.
Private hike at the 7 waterfalls with yanature. We were a family, 2 adults and 2 children aged 9 and 12. A bit athletic and steep at times, but breathtaking landscapes, superb nature, and magnificent viewpoints. Special mention to our guide Paj, very attentive with the children, and having a deep knowledge of his country and the surrounding nature. We really recommend him with our eyes closed!
We signed up spontaneously for this tour in the afternoon about two hours before the meeting point. Booking via WhatsApp directly with Yanature and the online payment went smoothly. We had Gilles as a guide, a very experienced and friendly Mauritian who gave us a great afternoon with professionalism, wit, and charm. Our group was mixed in terms of fitness level (12 people), but Gilles always interrupted the hike with short breaks so that everyone could keep up well and follow his stories about nature. The trail leads through beautiful terrain in the forest down to fantastic viewpoints and swimming spots under the waterfalls (bring swimwear). The hike is technically easy to moderate, but sturdy sports shoes or hiking boots are recommended because of the ground (slippery roots, rocks, mud). For us as a family with two teens, this guided hike was an absolute highlight!
