Discover the splendid, pure, and wild nature of Black River Gorges National Park, a 67.54 km² expanse of untouched wilderness located in the southwest of Mauritius. Known as the “lungs of Mauritius,” the park aims to protect and raise awareness of the island’s unique natural heritage and is home to some of the last remaining endemic forests, covering around 3.5% of Mauritius’ total surface area.

Accompanied by an expert guide, guests will explore the hidden wonders of this world-unique eco-system while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views and changing micro-climates along the way. During the hike, discover several viewpoints overlooking different parts of the park and its surroundings. Halfway through the adventure, guests will also encounter the “Mare aux Joncs Gorge,” also known as the “Bats Valley,” where thousands of Mauritian Fruit Bats can often be observed.

The park is home to rare endemic flora and fauna including the Echo Parakeet, the Mauritian Kestrel, the Pink Pigeon, and endemic trees such as the black ebony. Along the trail, enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and immerse yourself in the incredible biodiversity of Mauritius.

The bold and bright island of Mauritius is as colourful as it is compact, making it easy to explore its northern highlights on this full-day tour. Your day begins among giant water lilies the size of dinner tables and rare, ancient palms at the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanic Garden, known locally as ‘Pamplemousses' – after the grapefruit trees that thrive there.Next, you'll see the urban side of the country with a drive to the capital, Port Louis. Amid a mix of modern and colonial buildings, the landmarks you'll get a look at show off the French, British, Chinese, Indian, African and Creole influences that've shaped Mauritius over the centuries. Look out for St Louis Cathedral, the hilltop fortress and Chinatown.You'll then head to the Central Market, the heart of the city, with around three hours to browse spice-laden stalls, wander to Caudan Harbour, or sit down for lunch at one of the waterfront cafes and restaurants. Finally, you'll spend a couple of hours at the Odysseo Oceanarium. This state-of-the-art aquarium introduces you to different ecosystems, like inland forests, coral reefs and Mauritius' coastal waters. For a final thrill before you head back to your hotel, you'll see sharks and rays gliding overhead as you stroll through the glass tunnels their tanks are built around.
