Unfortunately we don’t have our own snorkel gear but be worth to bring it if you go. Would highly recommend. Our guides were amazing.”

Hike UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant with a supportive guide, dramatic views, steep scrambling, and a moving story of freedom in Mauritius.

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.”
