“Brilliant tour with Fabrice hiking Le Morne Brabant. Having read reviews, we booked the hike, although unfortunately was not the best weather, foggy and drizzling which made it slippery and unsafe for climbing to the top. We felt the hike is more for advanced hikers. We are fit and healthy 30yr olds and felt it was for more advanced hikers.”

Review of Mauritius Le Morne Mountain UNESCO Eco Hike: sunrise views, guided scrambling, wildlife, safety, photos, price, and practical tips.
“Given the family ownership of Le Morne peninsula, I doubt you can find a more knowledgeable, experienced or caring guide. The best way to climb at sunrise, with more than enough photos from Bryn to remember it by. Magical experience. Note there are many other guides who don’t take the official route (as they don’t have access). Recommend to avoid those.”

Review of Mauritius’ Le Morne hike with Vanessa: small groups, sunrise views, safe scrambling, local stories, snacks, and 50+ photos.
“Climbing Le Monte with Vanessa was the best experience we have ever had or are ever likely to top again. Neither of us are hikers or climbed as much as a big hill. I am scared of heights too and would never have made the climb if not for Vanessa’s superb guidance. She set good pace so we weren’t left pondering too much how tough it was or how high we were. She gave instructions throughout so we focused on her and what we were doing to stay safe. We took breaks to sip water and take in the most breathtaking views. Vanessa was motivating and encouraging.
