The Seven Colored Earths of Mauritius is a wonderful attraction. I really enjoyed it because you can see the different colors of the earth, which is truly stunning. I loved it! It's a large area with many other views to enjoy, so it's not just about the colored earths. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes, like sports clothes, so you can walk around easily. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Unique experience with Waterfall, 7 coloured earth & Turtles. Be prepare to spend MUR650 per person as an entry fees due to private site. Cafe, Souvenir Store is plenty to offer local Rum & other food items as well as crafted artworks by local artists. Definitely worth the visit

The Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark is truly a picturesque and unique natural wonder. The striking layers of vibrant colors are unlike anything I’ve seen before — a perfect spot for photos and to simply take in the beauty of nature. While there isn’t a lot to do beyond enjoying the view and a short walk around the area, it’s absolutely worth visiting for the stunning scenery. A peaceful and memorable stop during our trip to Mauritius!

Nice place.. clean, helpful staff; not so expensive the entry fee. Loved the views and tortoises 🐢 beautiful soil, however earlier this place was even more beautiful! Now, it seems faded a bit. The souvenir shop is nice, for local a bit expensive but quality products sold to tourists 👌 🅿️ Parking: ✅️ ♿ Wheelchair Accessibility: ❌️ difficult ♿ 🅿️ Wheelchair Parking: ✅️ ♿ 🚻 Wheelchair WC: ⁉️ unsure 📶 Wifi: ✅️ at the coffee shop yes 💳 Debit / Credit Card: ✅️ 📱Juice/ myT: ✅️ 🛗 Lift/ramp : ❌️ ♻️ Recycle : ✅️

​A must-see natural wonder! ​The Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth is, without a doubt, one of Mauritius's most recognizable and stunning natural attractions. As such, be prepared for a good number of fellow tourists! While there is parking space, it can fill up quickly, so I recommend arriving early if possible. ​The view of the swirling, multi-hued sands is truly unique. For the best possible photograph to capture the vibrant colours, here's a quick tip: the sit-out restaurant inside the park offers the best vantage point! It's worth stopping there for the view alone, even if you don't dine. ​You can easily explore the geopark by walking along a well-maintained walkway that provides several different viewpoints of the sands. Beyond the main attraction, the park also has several other points of interest, including a small enclosure with turtles, an area to explore the Ebony Forest, and several souvenir shops. Toilets are also available for visitors. ​Overall, this is an essential stop on any Mauritius itinerary. Highly recommended!

This is really a sight to see but don't be shocked if the colour's arnt as apparent as the online pictures(its natural after all!) You get to see Giant Tortoises which it quite fun especially for children and there is a small 'cafe' that does coffees, juices,ice-cream and traditional sugar cane juice! You can do hikes around the park but give yourself atleast the whole day to do that as there are multiple hiking routes.

We were there as part of a self-booked "taxi tour." You also have to pay an entrance fee for the national park. We paid 1,300 rupees for two people. The taxi driver was free. NOTE: The "receipt" with the QR code is also the entrance ticket at the turnstile at the 7 Earths spot. There's also a parking lot there that's generally "permanently full." Our driver dropped us off at the entrance. The area is basically a large pile of sand. Unless you're a geologist, it's not really that exciting. On the same grounds, there's also a fenced-off area where giant tortoises are "kept." In my opinion, it's "just" a place you go to say you've been there...

Booked a Birdwatching walk. 3 to 4 hours actually did 4 3/4 hour hike Ans saw 5 of the 7 rare birds. Guide Damian was excellent knowledgeable and friendly. Superb views from the viewpoints. You do need a reasonable level of fitness for the walk but there is a jeep ride alternative

🌿 5/5 – Amazing Experience! Had a wonderful time on the self-guided hike at Ebony Forest in Chamarel. The trails are well-marked, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful native trees and birds. The views from the top are breathtaking — especially over Le Morne and the coast. Staff were friendly and informative, and it’s great to see the effort put into forest restoration. Perfect spot for nature lovers and anyone who enjoys a calm, scenic walk in Mauritius. Highly recommended!

Took the guided safari jeep tour. Booked online in advance. Very knowledgeable guide who made the visit very enjoyable. The views from Sublime Point are amazing. This is a good option if you are in any doubt about your ability to do the hikes.

The Ebony Forest Reserve was a great experience during our stay on Mauritius. You get to hike on your own in beautiful forest and get a guide that walks you through a section of the track and explains the efforts to restore both endemic and native species. We also saw free ranging tortoises and quite a few birds. It also has a small museum that explains the history of Mauritius and that of birds like the Dodo and the namesake ebony trees. Well worth a visit (we stayed for over 3 hours)!

I had the chance to visit the Ebony Forest in Chamarel, Mauritius, and it was a wonderful experience. The reserve is beautifully maintained, offering a mix of scenic walking trails, viewpoints, and a chance to learn about the island’s unique biodiversity. The highlight for me was the walk through the restored native forest, where you can see giant tortoises and rare bird species. The viewpoints overlooking Le Morne and the coastline are breathtaking, and the skywalk gives a unique perspective of the forest canopy. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, always ready to share interesting facts about conservation and local history. It’s not a very long visit, but it’s definitely worth it if you enjoy nature, quiet surroundings, and eco-friendly activities. Overall, a satisfying experience that combines relaxation, education, and beautiful views. 🌿🐢🌍✨ #EbonyForest #MauritiusTravel #Chamarel #NatureLovers #EcoTourism #MauritiusNature #TravelMauritius #Conservation #HiddenGem #IslandParadise

Ebony Forest Reserve in Chamarel is a beautiful conservation area with well-maintained trails, stunning views, and rich biodiversity. The guided tours are informative, and you can learn a lot about Mauritius’ native flora and fauna. A great place for hiking, birdwatching, and connecting with nature.

Did the Love Tree Tour and it was Fantastic! Jean was a great guide, was really knowledgeable and friendly. We saw Geckos, birds and Tortoises up close! So a tour so animals can be pointed out for you. Highly recommend to experience the forest without a strenuous hike, easy for kids and older people. The open jeep up the mountain was really comfy and fun, and the views at sublime point were amazing! Facilities were new with nice clean toilets, gift shop for souvenirs and snacks, not a place for lunch so go to Chamarel Cafe for that. Great to support the conservation effort for Mauritius

I had an absolutely incredible stay at Ashvin’s apartment in Mauritius! From start to finish, everything was perfect. First and foremost, the communication was outstanding — Ashvin was always quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Their attentiveness made me feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout my stay. The apartment itself was nothing short of perfection. It was *sparkling clean*, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything one could possibly need. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the quality of the amenities exceeded my expectations. It truly felt like a home away from home. Safety was also a top priority for me, and I felt completely secure during my entire stay. The location was great, and I could fully relax knowing that everything was well taken care of. This was an exceptional experience, and I can confidently say that this is one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. If you're visiting Mauritius, look no further—this is the place to be! A very well-deserved **5 stars!** 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great Place to stay in south of the island. Attractions like Chamarel, Underwater Waterfalls, Beach, Casela is very close by. The place is very clean and all facilities are available even for a long stay. Ashvin was very responsive for all queries and shared shared local food recommendations as well.

Ashvin was a great host! Communicated with us the week before to arrange everything. Had no problem with late check-in. He had plenty of recommendations for our stay. The flat had all we needed. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything was clean.

Peaceful location and incredible hosts! Super clean and comfortable apartment with a balcony. It has all the essentials for an extended stay and the area is peaceful and quiet. The absolute best part for me were my hosts, Ashvin and Madhavi. They are so kind and warm, show true hospitality and nothing is ever too much trouble. They are very responsive and assisted straight away if ever I had a question or needed assistance. This was especially comforting being a solo traveler. Thank you!

I had a pleasure to stay in Tenexia - Holiday Rental. Very thankful to Ashvin and Madhavi for their hospitality .... They have advised great places to visit and even gave a lift ones it was needed. Absolutely felt like at home. The place is very clean with everything needed. Very peaceful neighbourhood, great for good rest…. My favourite place was kitchen with a table, were me and my friend spent countles evenings of chatting …. Beautiful beach 10 min drive away…. I would recommend to hire a car to explore Mauritious properly…. Thank you ones again! :) Definitely will be back!

Great place to base yourself in the Southwest of the island! We visited La Gaulette at the start of our trip and returned to end our trip because we loved it so much and it’s location to Le Morne and Black River Gorges National Park. Our second return we stayed at Tenexia and loved it very much. Very quiet neighborhood, the apartment has everything you need to be comfortable (including your own washing machine), and beautiful terrace on the roof for sunset. Ashvin and his wife were so kind! I looked forward to running into them to talk in the evenings. They sent us several food and sightseeing recommendations on google maps! When we return to Mauritius, we will stay with Tenexia again!

Nice and clean apartment near the beautiful nature reservation and beach (Le Morne). Ashvin is a perfect host - he send us map with good tips for hiking. Therefore we enjoyed our stay at full blast. Thank you for a wonderful stay Ashvin. Highly recomend and I hope that we meet again in your apartment.

I recently visited Tou Korek Surf Shop in La Gaulette, Mauritius, and unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. Despite being the largest surf shop on the island, boasting a wide range of equipment for various water sports, I found that some of their products were overpriced, which was disappointing. Moreover, the staff seemed more focused on making a sale than ensuring the equipment suited my needs. They did not inquire about my surfing experience or skill level, leading to recommendations that were not appropriate for me. This lack of personalized service resulted in a purchase that I later regretted. To make matters worse, Trevor was absolutely awful. His attitude was dismissive, and he seemed more interested in pushing products than actually helping customers. A good surf shop should prioritize honest advice and proper guidance, not just sales tactics.

Highly recommended shop. Trevor in the Board Section was very professional and recommended me the best surfboard. Great variety of fins also. Well equipped water-sports shop in Mauritius.

I have purchased a pair of flip flops and after 2 days they just teared a parts. I tried to return them but it turned out that it had no warranty. On the receipt it says that exchange of any products will be accepted within 7 days of purchase upon presentation of receipt. Cheaters!

Awesome surf shop. Really has the best range of boards and accessories. Staff is awesome too, I was lucky to have Trevor show me around. Great knowledge 🤙

Sick surf shop catering to all your needs from: wax, epoxy quickfix, sunglasses, boards, fins and everything else ocean sports related. Cheers to Trevor for being super informative and helpful 🍻

Everything was good. Friendly people at the counter will always help you and give a good advice. A lot of duotone equipment for kiting and planty of surfboards too for a good price

Big store with many spare parts for kite equipment. Very helpfull and friendly staff! Would come again.

Cool place for snorkeling, unfortunately accessible only with a boat, or if you walk 1-2 hours on the beach. No access with car, unless you pay 1500 rupees per person for a sun-bed and umbrella, because there is a private property.

Beautiful beach to snorkle and chill 🙏🏼

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place (like the whole island); accessible by sea or via the Paradis resort beach. In our case we got there by sea with SUPs from the public beach before the resorts. Excellent place for snorkelling suitable for children (even small ones). (Original) Posto fantastico (come d'altronde tutta l'isola); accessibile via mare o tramite la spiaggia del resort Paradis. Nel nostro caso ci siamo arrivati tramite mare con i SUP dalla spiaggia pubblica prima dei resort. Ottimo posto per fare snorkling adatto ai bambini (anche piccoli).

(Translated by Google) Best beach on the island for snorkeling. A few efforts to get there but you will enjoy spending your day there. You have to go around the hotel via the beach to get there. Then don't be afraid to settle down in front of the hotel. No beaches are private on the island (Original) Meilleur plage de l'île pour faire du snorkeling. Quelques efforts pour y arriver mais vous allez aimé y passer votre journée. Il faut contourné l'hôtel par la plage pour y accéder. Après ne pas avoir peur de s'installer devant l'hôtel. Aucune plage est privée sur l'île

(Translated by Google) PLEASE NOTE!!!! This snorkeling spot is only accessible by water. Contrary to other statements, the beach section is NOT public! A security employee came quickly and said that the public area ended 2m (!) behind the water line and that we were entering private property. (Original) BITTE BEACHTEN!!!! Dieser Schnorchelspot ist ausschließlich auf dem Wasser erreichbar. Der Strandabschnitt ist entgegen anderer Aussagen NICHT öffentlich! Es kam sehr schnell ein Security Mitarbeiter geeilt, der sagte das 2m(!) hinter der Wasserlinie der öffentliche Bereich endet und wir Privatgrundstück betreten.

(Translated by Google) This is where the boat from the snorkeling trip from Paradis goes. Mediocre snorkeling, hardly any coral, few fish. But the view of Le Morne from the boat is quite nice. Swimming fins and snorkel/mask are provided. There are several tours a day. Instead of taking the boat tour, I recommend simply snorkeling directly from the beach halfway between Blue Marlin and the Watersports Office, there is a lot more to see there, an intact reef, whole schools of fish, calamari, starfish, etc. (Original) Hierhin fährt das Boot vom Snorkellingtrip vom Paradis. Mittelmäßiges Schnorcheln, kaum Korallen, wenige Fische. Aber der Ausblick vom Boot auf den Le Morne ist ganz nett. Schwimmflossen und Schnorchel/Maske werden zur Verfügung gestellt. Es gibt mehrere Touren am Tag. Ich empfehle statt der Bootstour einfach selbst direkt vom Strand aus auf der Hälfte zwischen Blue Marlin und Watersports Office zu schnorcheln, dort gibt es viel mehr zu sehen, ein intaktes Riff, ganze Fischschwärme, Calamari, Seesterne usw.

(Translated by Google) We saw turtles here on the boat ride back. With the snorkel you can watch them eat, they stay more or less in place. (Original) Wir haben hier bei der Rückfahrt auf dem Boot Schildkröten gesehen. Mit dem Schnorchel kann man ihnen beim Essen zuschauen, sie bleiben mehr oder weniger an Ort und Stelle.

Finally one normal, not ‘in the backyard of my house’ restaurant with very decent food, fair prices, great and friendly service. First, when we entered, a casual smiling. We see billiard table which is free to be used by guests and a drum-set saying - we do have good gigs and great atmosphere here. First order draft Fenix fresh beer - exactly what we needed. Next for starters - grilled octopus salad, nice tasty big portion. Next we had fish and some very special South African, but localised meal. All very tasty, good prepared and very decent amount of food. We had a very nice chat with the guy who served us, we played some billiard - good vibe. Right next door is the only supermarket- very convenient ☺️ Would recommend!

Dinner Night at Enso, La Gaulette .We recently spent a lovely dinner evening with friends at Enso, a cozy restaurant and pub located on the west coast of Mauritius, in La Gaulette. The place has such a beautiful setup — warm glowing bulbs and a chill atmosphere that instantly makes you feel relaxed. 🌿🍸 It was Burger Night, and we tried a few amazing dishes: 🍔 Tuna Wasabi with Wakame – Rs 750 🍔 Pulled Lamb Burger with Onion – Rs 790 🍔 Chicken Philly Burger with BBQ sauce and melted cheese – Rs 590 🍔 Seared Tuna Steak with Tartare Sauce – Rs 750 Each burger had its own unique flavor and sauce — perfectly cooked and bursting with taste! I even noticed some creative options like the Pulled Jackfruit Burger with onion and chilli BBQ sauce (Rs 590) — a great vegetarian twist that’s not so common elsewhere. We also had some starters — the Chilli Chicken Wings and Grilled Octopus Salad — both absolutely delicious and quite generous in portion (definitely enough to share!). Service was quick, with food arriving within 15–30 minutes, and the cocktails were just fabulous. 🍹 If you’re looking for a relaxing spot away from the busy town life, Enso is definitely a hidden gem worth discovering. Highly recommended! 📍Enso, La Gaulette #EnsoLaGaulette #MauritiusEats #FoodieMauritius #BurgerNight #MauritiusRestaurants #WestCoastMauritius #HiddenGem #MauritiusFoodLovers #LaGauletteEats #TunaBurger #FoodReviewMauritius #CocktailVibes #IslandLife #MauritiusDining #FoodiesOfMauritius

During a recent visit to Enso Bar Restaurant, we ordered the seared yellowfin tuna steak with vegetables and the piccata Milanese. While the dishes were neatly presented, the overall experience left much to be desired. The tuna steak was cooked adequately and accompanied by a small portion of vegetables. However, the flavours were basic and lacked any distinctive or memorable qualities. Fortunately, I had ordered a side of fries, though these were unfortunately undercooked, which further diminished the meal. The piccata Milanese followed a similar pattern—simple and inoffensive, but far from remarkable. In both cases, the portion sizes were extremely small, resembling more of a tasting portion than a proper main course. With such minimal servings and unexceptional flavours, the restaurant struggles to offer value for money. The limited menu also restricts choice, making it unlikely to appeal to those seeking variety or a more satisfying dining experience. To make matters worse, the prices are quite expensive for what is ultimately a very basic and underwhelming offering.

Nice place with lovely simple seating area. Good service. The food tasted really good and served in generous portions. Reasonably priced and all menu is halal.

20 of us turned up unexpectedly after a visit to Chamarel.The restaurant didn't hesitate.Tables were set up for children and adults. Orders taken smoothly and the food came out quickly. The food is delicious. The curry is on point. This is coming from a British Mauritian. Trust me. Don't sleep on this place. Love it!

Enso Restaurant & Lounge Bar was a great choice! The lamb burger was delicious, and overall it was much better to eat here than in the resorts not just cheaper. Great atmosphere and friendly service, highly recommend!

We had a lovely meal at Enso's. The jackfruit burger and chicken burger were really good. My friend had the passion fruit mojito and I had a classic one. Best ones we had so far. Great service.

First class restaurant. Very cute location, amazingly cozy to sit. Waiter was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The food: we had an octopus salad as a starter (shared with 2 people). Amazingly seasoned with vinegar, pepper and salt. Veggies were freshly cut and the whole blended together sublimely. As a main 2 of us had grilled tuna, our other friend took the gambas. All three of us were ecstatic. The tuna was so fresh and tasty. Briefly seared on both sides, still raw in the middle, which is godlike when the fish is this fresh. Gambas must've been amazing as well, our usually loud friend was silent for an amazing 15 minutes. The rice and side veggies were simple yet splendid. Dessert is being served as we speak and no doubt it will be as great as previous courses. We went out of our usual ways to come here and write down a review. World class for people who like simple but well executed food. Keep it going Gregory!

We started with the seafood platter (absolutely loaded and so fresh), followed by a crème brûlée and ananas flambée 🔥🍍 The service was warm and attentive and the music added the perfect touch to the whole vibe. 10/10 night — would go back in a heartbeat!

The restaurant it's quirky and interesting, Gregory was our waiter, he was very helpful, kind and cordial , we had the fried calamari which were tasty , fresh and fried to perfection, we had the dim sum which were tasty, I had Tuna steak, was good but unfortunately a bit overcooked(would've been perfect if cooked a bit less), the prawn were unfortunately overcooked as well. Overall the food was ok but the atmosphere and service great. We had some rum that Gregory made (lichee rum and pineapple rum) was very good. We had a nice evening anyways, thank you for that.

Awesome place to have food. Music and service is excellent. You will live it here. Mauritius is usually closed early post lunch. We found this secret restaurant serving dood and drinks late in the afternoon around 5 pm as aell. A must go if you are hungry and all other places are shut.

From start to finish, our experience was simply wonderful! The dinner was full of quality and flavor, and every dish right up to the dessert was perfectly prepared. The restaurant’s rustic décor creates such a warm and cozy atmosphere, making it feel welcoming from the moment you step inside. What truly stood out was the service: we were greeted with genuine smiles and cared for by such sweet and friendly staff. A beautiful evening all around . highly recommended for anyone who loves great seafood paired with heartfelt hospitality!

Wow wow , if you want to be spoilt with delicious food, this is the place to go to & Gregory is the chef for you. Amazing cook. We requested chicken curry , vegetable curry ( tofu) & a Tuna Dish ( Gregory mentioned he had freshly caught tuna ( line fishing ❤️) ) we arrived at his restaurant which was beautiful, very cozy , amazing 😍 vibe. The food we had was exactly what we wanted, much better than a restaurant we went to a day before which was a "mainstream" restaurant on a main road. If you want a taste of Mauritian hospitality & home cooked food, definitely seek this place out. Gregory is sometimes at a place called Happy Days Guest house ( where we stayed) which is an amazing place to stay with breathtaking views ( ask for sea view if possible )

Gregory’s Secret Restaurant is truly a hidden gem! The vibe here is wonderfully chill, with a cozy garden setting that feels both relaxing and refreshing. The decor is eco-friendly, thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. It’s a favorite spot among expats, adding a unique, multicultural feel to the atmosphere. The seafood dishes are outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The prawns were succulent and perfectly grilled, and the fresh salad was a delightful start to the meal. The staff is attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home while ensuring every detail is perfect. This is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to experience authentic, high-quality cuisine in a beautifully curated, eco-conscious setting.

As a part of my Sperm Donation World tour of Mauritius, I was able to get a takeaway pizza from here pizza took about 15 minutes to make got the seafood one it was pleasant to eat and cost 500

We visited with my family who are all vegetarian and my mom who does not eat garlic and onions, the staff were very accommodating nothing was too much trouble and they catered to all our dietary needs with a smile. The food was excellent especially the pizzas which were freshly made. The menu has a good variety of dishes suitable for all at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

we had to wait for over 2 hours for our food. although the dishes sound splendid on the menu, you will be disappointed once they arrive. the food is not bad, but its not worth the wait. We asked to prioritise the food for the child of the group, but still waited ages for it. Toilets are clean.

We came here because we saw the restaurant while coming back from the Morne. We saw the reviews when already seated and we got a bit scared (the bad reviews were recent). But food was delicious. Pasta home made and the calamari creole was so tender. Service was also excellent. I really don’t get how this is rated worse than Enzo which was terrible. I never rate places but I feel bad this place has had such bad reviews when everything was excellent. It deserves 4.5 star average for sure.

Excellent food and service. Pizzas and al dente pasta dishes truly authentic Italian. Local cuisine also excellent. Fresh ingredients. Calamari curry succulent and tender. Hosts were attentive and did everything they could to accommodate to our requests. Strangely, too few people know about their existence. They closed for renovations but now fully opened. Great place to chill out after dinner. One of the few restaurants in La Gaulette to do so after dinner. Tables are nicely set with linen. Very elegant yet not stuffy. Young hardworking team with great attitude and positive energy. We loved it first time and went back a few days after. The experience got even better. Highly recommend!

The Mauritian fish curry was very tasty. Today's fish was tuna.

Had crispy calamari and stir fried calamari. Unfortunately, the good accessibility and location could not compensate for the meagre portion size served for the price charged. Looked at other reviews before going, but unimpressed.

Very good dishes like Niçoise with fresh seared Tuna pieces. Lovely beach café atmosphere.

True Mediterranean taste in the middle of the ocean. Chef Haluk creates a magnificent synthesis of pure tastes of fish and herbs with intensive cooking techniques resulting in original flavors that take you directly to the heart of Aegean sea.

You can hardly find better place to have a breakfast each morning. Wide variety od food and drinks is provided. Views are amazing, you can choose to sit even at the beach tables. Staff was more then polite in many occasions. Sometimes they were asking if everything was fine too many times but thats ok. It was a bit colder one morning so they provided blankets for us.

Everything was amazing. Variety of the menu was great. Everything was with care. They made my birthday unforgettable . The food was so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant . Congratulations for Chef Haluk for the outstanding work. I really thank them for everything.

Delicious lunch. Loved the fun, colorful presentation for the plates, matching the freshness of the food. Lovely staff, happy to help in any way they could. Can’t wait to try it for dinner and breakfast as well.

Very delicious food, the only disappointment was that it's closes at 4pm and u can't get food on the beach afterwards.

Unable to order a drink due to not being a hotel guest. The tables extend 20 metres onto the public beach but do not accept anyone who is not staying at the adjacent hotel even though it was empty. Avoid

One of our favourite beaches in Mauritius. There are two sides to the beach, the windy side where you see all the kite surfing and the sheltered side where you can enjoy a nice swim. There is a restaurant, plenty of parking, public bathrooms and lots of shade. There is plenty of coral so be careful to look where you are stepping. The view is amazing and the sunsets are stunning.

Le Morne Public Beach is a beautiful and peaceful spot, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The crystal-clear water and stunning mountain backdrop make it feel like paradise. It’s great for swimming, sunsets, or just lounging under the trees. There’s a free parking lot, which is super convenient, and free public toilets available. Just a heads-up, there’s no toilet paper, so make sure to bring your own.

Beautiful, blue, clear water and nice, clean beach. A long, if not the longest strip of beach in Mauritius. A few trees here and there to sit in the shade but otherwise there's not much there to keep you out of the sun since it's a public beach. There's a few vendors for food, accessories and souvenirs and even a public bathroom next to the parking lot but I wouldn't recommend to go there if you have to sit down or touch anything because it's VERY dirty and unhygienic. For such a big beach and tourist spot I would hope for better infrastructure regarding toilets and showers here.

The most beautiful beach in Mauritius. Commercialised as well. Lot of folks there enjoying the tides. The sunset is phenomenal. Plenty of parking space and changing rooms. Must visit. Highly recommended. Clear water and clear sky makes it a perfect destination for an outing.

Absolutely stunning tropical paradise beach. Tons of free parking, pristine sands and turquoise water, lots of green space for anyone to enjoy, food vans, ice cream, public toilets, restaurant/bar, white sand, boat tours, walking trails. Highly recommended as a must-see beach in Mauritius.

Very nice beach with clear water. No bus to get there though, so you need a car or a taxi. There are ice cream and food truck as well as restaurants around. Not the most quiet though due to all the helicopter tours around

Matteo, a wonderful person, organized a dolphin tour for us. We found the dolphins very quickly. We were lucky and saw two types of dolphins. We swam with a pod of dolphins for a long time, very close to them. This was our first diving experience. Matteo offered to swim more, but this experience was enough for us. Matteo surprised us and we were able to swim with a manta ray and a turtle, and also saw fish on the reef. Special thanks to the skipper, a very positive person.

Absolutely unforgettable experience! Swimming with dolphins and whales was a dream come true truly magical and beyond words. Matteo was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional throughout the whole journey. Communication was smooth, and they went above and beyond to accommodate everything we needed. The team made us feel safe, welcomed, and well taken care of. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime adventure!

We had a wonderful time on the dolphin watching tour with Matteo. The ocean was calm, and we found the dolphins within 15 minutes. I'm a poor swimmer, so Matteo held my hand and showed me the dolphins. It was unforgettable, swimming so close to them. We saw two types of dolphins and heard them communicate. Incredible. After the dolphins, we went to the reef, where we saw a huge turtle and a manta ray. We had a wonderful time, thanks to Matteo and the skipper🐬🌊

My wife and I went dolphin swimming and whale watching with Matteo, and it was honestly the best experience ever! 🐬🐋 It might seem a bit more expensive than other tours, but it’s worth every cent. We actually tried a similar tour with another operator, and it didn’t come close to the experience we had with Matteo. The service, care, and overall atmosphere were incredible from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Mauritius!

We went on a tour with Matteo and he was a great guide and did everything in his power to make sure that we had the best tour ever. We were extremely lucky to have both humpbacks, sperm whales and dolphins on the same tour and it was great to see the love and respect Matteo has for the ocean and its inhabitants. I can really recommend going with Matteo!

10/5 stars. Matteo is an excellent guide and almost always knows where to find whales! He is driven by a sincere desire to show the beauty of the ocean and introduce tourists to whales and dolphins. We searched for whales for three hours and saw about ten other boats, but there were no whales in that spot. Many turned around. Matteo didn't despair and took us to another spot. In the fourth hour, we saw six sperm whales. Breathtaking. Then we found a huge pod of dolphins with whom we could swim.

Unforgettable Experience with MatteoAttraction, albeit quite expensive! After thoroughly comparing different providers and reading many reviews, we finally decided to go with Matteo. We booked the Ultimate Adventure and had an absolutely incredible day. We saw dolphins, swam with them, and were even lucky enough to spot whales! Matteo and his colleague Rohan acted always with great respect for the animals while still giving us a great time. On the way back, we visited Crystal Rock and went snorkeling along a beautiful reef. The day ended with a nice beachside barbecue. It was an experience we’ll never forget and it was definetly worth the money! Thank you, Matteo and Rohan!

Don’t have enough words to describe the view we saw at multiple spots during our trek. Just phenomenal. We reached there at around 6 AM but couldn’t get in because it was locked and dark. The person came after 7 AM after which we started our trek. It’s a difficult trek but the beginning trail is still walkable. After the first point a guide is needed to help you climb the mountain. It involves literal wall climbing so you should be in a great health to do it. If you’re a patient or recovering then this trek is not for you. Carry some water and some bars as it takes around 2 hours to just do the easy trail and back. Start early because the sun gets harsh with time and it becomes difficult to climb. Also carry mosquito repellent. We were also able to see the underwater waterfall from the top. All the beaches and islands are clearly visible. Highly recommended.

An unforgettable lifetime experience. A great, breathtaking view from the top, it was worth a hike. My suggestion for the hike: 1. start as early as possible. We started at 6 o’clock in the morning and at 7 o’clock it was almost unbearable hot. It’s a lot of climbing and the stone would get also hotter in the sun. 2. Bring a lot of water with you, at least 1 L/person. 3. I would suggest to hire a guide if you don’t have an experience in climbing. We did often a hike in the alps but I was so afraid that I wouldn’t survive this hike. We were lucky that we accidentally mixed up with the guided group and we could follow them, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to get to the top.

Nice but not very easy trip for everyone who are not affraid of climbing without equipment. You can do it. If not, there are lots of view poinst when you need not to climb. Open from 7-16. Last enterance 14:30

Easy part 1 and more challenging part 2. The day we went wad way too crowded. Many climbed to the summit and you could just tell from their face how scared they were to go down w.out the right shoes or equipment. 3 days after we climbed up, we didnt go to the peak as the last climbed was jammed with ppl of all sorts of levels, we heared of the tragic accident of a young man. Just a reminder that climbing this mountain comes with high risk. Please avoid when too crowded on the last bit.

Hike was absolutely worth it! View is stunning! It is a little difficult though but not as difficult as it might seem. Actually it is very doable if you are in a pretty much good shape. You for sure don't need to be an expert hiker or athlete to do it. And you do not need a guide! At the beginning we thought we will hike till just the climbing sign, but then we continued a bit by a bit and reached the top! Mind you, we (me and my husband) are not expert hikers nor in extreme good shape. You just need a good hiking shoes or shoes with a good grip as it could be a bit slippery. It is not dangerous at all if you watch your steps carefully. Also the way down looks way more difficult than it actually is. Just go slowly and catch to anything near you to keep your balance (tree, rock...). There was no "obvious trail", especially at the top, you climb wherever it is possible, or follow the other people. Don't be scared of the word "climbing" as we were also scared to do it especially that it was our first time "climbing a mountain". No tools or anything needed. If you hesitate to continue the hike, the view from the point just before the climbing is also spectacular!! Walk a little bit toward the trees and you will see pretty much similar view as the top. Even if you continue the hike, you will see many spots on your way up, with the exact same view as the summit. You don't need to continue to the top if your goal is just the view and good photos. Weather is no joke when warm, take plenty of water with you. Hike was in total around 3,5hours (reaching the top, with many stops for photos). Enjoy the hike 😊

Le Morne Brabant is an unforgettable hiking experience. The trail up to the top is quite challenging but absolutely rewarding. The scenery is just stunning, with lush greenery and that gorgeous blue ocean stretching out below. As you get closer to the summit, the trail becomes steeper and more rugged, requiring a bit of climbing and focus. Reaching the cross  at the top feels like a true achievement, offering a stunning 360-degree view of Mauritius coastline and surrounding landscape. If you're up for an adventure in Mauritius, this hike is a must.

Loved this hike! The first half of the hike is easy but the second half involves steep rock climbing using hands and feet, not for the weak. Takes around 2 hours to get to the very top where the cross is. Getting down is faster but still a must to take your time. The views are stunning and well worth the climb.

After visiting Le Morne Brabant this is your place to chill out. White coral sand, clear, clean water and incredible sunsets. One of my Top 3 beaches of Mauritius.

My favorite restaurant within the Le Morne Beachcomber Resorts. The menu is a mix of comfort food and local items and my favorites were the palm heart salad with tuna tataki and the beef burger. The spare ribs was not like personally expected. It had a special cut (with more meat but with some soft bones/tendons) and the spicing was asian bbq. The service was okay. With the tables on the beach and a view on the turquoise sea it is a beautiful lunch spot.

Le Morne Brabant is a peninsula at the extreme southwestern tip of the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius on the western side of the island.... a very beautiful and attractive place... 😍 but beware.. it can be dangerous as well ⚠️ but anyway just take some precautions when visiting this place😉 very good place to take pictures ❤️

Great beach with easy access to the water. Loads of space to relax on the beach and under the trees. Also great food and drinks available from vans and beach side restaurants

Nice beach to visit with fantastic views of the sunset and Le Morne behind. An impressionable, and significant historical area, place to spend some considerable time to relax, unwind and also learn some history.

Very touristic restaurant which is located in the dinarobin beachcomber resort. The food is good and the service is friendly and fast. Nice view to the sea while the feet touch the sand.

Peaceful to go on weekdays Perfect to relax and also to enjoy Ideal for a family picnic

Very beautiful place, full of history

Well maintained place. The guide offers clear and concise information about the slave route. Beautiful scenery at the foot of Le Morne mountain. Behind you the beautiful public beach ⛱️ ♥️

A culturally significant monument to go visit, bringing awareness to the slave trade that happened long ago. Lots of parking across the road at the beach, it’s a 1 min walk. There are many beautiful art installations from around the world, with explanations in English and French. Also one of the best view of Le Morne mountain from inside the monument circle.

This is a monument to honor slaves who were traded at indian ocean countries past. There are sculptures from different countries each has a unique form and composition. You can take photos with Le Morne mountain also in this area. Entrance is closed at 4 pm.

Wonderful works of sculpture with a sad truth of what happened to slaves in the shadow of Mount Le Morne.

Why don't they give you more information and make this place nicer. Every time I've been there it's been closed . I am just wondering, if they were not black would this place be more accessible and done much better.

Interesting place linked with history of slaves on the island. It would be nice to have some board with more details somewhere around to explain the background why the monument is on this place.

This spot is undervalued. I went there snorkelling once and immediately saw a turtle. There was nobody around, just us. Not many fishes, but they come and go, if you stay long enough, you will see many species. Clear water, fantastic visibility. Free public toilet if you need to change.

Best place to snorkel 🤿

corals need care. Many died in this part

Very nice not that much fishes and so but it is ok for practice a very nice place.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach with fantastic turquoise water. Only went snorkeling once and didn't see much. But a dream for swimming and relaxing at the foot of Le Morne Brabant. (Original) Schöner Strand mit traumhaft türkis blauem Wasser. War nur einmal kurz schnorcheln und hab nicht viel gesehen. Aber zum Schwimmen und relaxen am Fuß des Le Morne Brabant ein Traum.

(Translated by Google) The most colorful fish swim beautifully 2 meters into the water 😍 Attention: also sea urchins (Original) Direkt 2 Meter ins Wasser rein schwimmen schön die buntesten Fische 😍 Achtung: auch Seeigel

(Translated by Google) Saw two turtles and a ray while snorkeling. In the middle of the day. We entered the water right here (at the white sign between the two trees) and swam north. At the level of the first hotel (Ion Club flag on the beach, a little further out than the yellow buoys in the water) the underwater landscape is rather unspectacular. Hardly any reefs or corals. But seaweed. Here were the turtles and the ray (at least 1 m tall). (Original) Beim Schnorcheln zwei Schildkröten und einen Rochen gesehen. Mitten am Tag. Wir sind genau hier ins Wasser (bei dem weißen Schild zwischen den zwei Bäumen) und Richtung Norden geschwommen, auf Höhe des ersten Hotels (Ion Club Flagge am Strand, ein Stück weiter draußen als die gelben Bojen im Wasser) ist die Unterwasser Landschaft eher unspektakulär. Kaum Riffe oder Korallen. Dafür Seegras. Hier waren die Schildkröten und der Rochen (mind. 1 m groß).

Absolutely stunning place , ile aux cerfs but without the water activities and shops. The water is crystal clear and the beach is perfect for hanging out for a couple of hours

Beautiful little island. The vendors are great. You can get food, drinks, fresh coconuts, and gifts. The island appears unspoilt.

Île aux Benitiers was really cool – clear water, perfect for snorkeling, and we saw lots of fish. Also happy to see not much trash around. Great spot overall!

Stunning island! Worth doing if you have half a day free. Lunches provided on tours are amazing, especially the fish and chilli.

Insanely beautiful. This is really what my definition of paradise is, the pics don’t do it justice. Go kayaking if you can!! The lagoon is super shallow.

Nice tour to the island, shallow water.. Clear blue water and dolphins. Crystal rock is nice to see. The island itself is full of trash and not worthy to visit.

Really beautiful rock in the ocean. We drove past on a motorboat but you can get to it on kayaks and even potentially walk up in water up to your waist. Wouldn't recommend that as it's a long way and there are dangerous shells like a razor that can cut you so wear water shoes

I can't describe how wonderful the riding was. I booked last minute and it was absolutely fantastic, with a quick response and professionalism. I have a lot of experience riding horses, so I booked the ride and swim. The horses are very calm, they are carefully cared, and the surroundings are incredible. The guide was very attentive, and we were able to trot, gallop, and swim at the beach—a dream for any rider. I would recommend it to anyone who loves horses and wants to have a good time. I would do it again for sure!

It was such an amazing experience! They were so nice and so accommodating to different needs! I was in a group with two other people and even though one person didn’t want to canter they managed to let me and another canter despite the some of the group not wanting to! It was so wonderful and the staff are so generous and helpful and the horses are so lovely! Would recommend to anyone with all different abilities and they even offer lesson which I can’t wait to try!

My daughter had the opportunity to go horseback riding on the beach with Haras du Morne, and it was a wonderful experience. The horses are well cared for, calm, and perfectly suited for riding with children. The staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional – we felt welcome and well looked after from the very beginning. The stunning scenery, great atmosphere, and excellent organization made it an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended!

Been here several times already. Always delightful to be with the horses. And the team is very professional and friendly. Highly recommend this horse ride along the beach if you are in the neighborhood😇

The horse farm is located at the foot of Mount Mona. The environment is very good. The horses are very healthy and in good spirits. The riding experience on the beach was great. Later, we rode for 40 minutes in the horse farm. It was a great experience. If you like horse riding activities, you should not miss it.

My friend and I are experienced horse riders, and we were truly impressed by our amazing two-hour ride on the beach, followed by swimming with the horses! These stables are truly remarkable, as the horses are well-treated and trained, kept clean and happy. This is an essential aspect for me, as I love these animals dearly, and not every stable can boast such high standards of animal care! The team here is truly professional, with all equipment in good condition and saddles that are well-suited for sport. Our trainer, Rama, tested our skills in paddock prior to our ride on the beach. he did brilliant as our guide in this ride. Our route was truly beautiful, with various paces, including trotting and galloping, as well as swimming with the horses. I would like to express my gratitude to the entire team for making this experience so memorable. Additional thanks to the photographer, it was a nice surprise that he did some wonderful photos and videos of our race. It was a truly exceptional horseback riding experience near the ocean.

What an amazing experience! First time horse riding with 2 amazing guides (Irfan & Axelle)! Big thank you to both of you for making our first session such an amazing experience. Your love for the horses and the work you do, is commendable. Something highly recommended if you are in Mauritius!

Nice place to have dinner after an eventful day in and around La Gaulette. We had a tasty pizza and curry. The restaurant also offers a range of cocktails from the bar. You can sit outside, inside, and upstairs. The staff is friendly but you have to be patient, because it can take quite some time for the food to be delivered.

Very nice restaurant. Ambience is pleasant. The food was very tasty. Waiters are very friendly and helpful. High recommend this restaurant.

Very cool restaurant, highly recommend beef creole style. Watch out on Saturdays - they have happy hours and it may be more crowded.

This restaurant is now called Ocean Vibes. It has seating on the veranda, inside and on the terrace upstairs. We booked a table and were shown a table upstairs. It was on the front and quite chilly on a windy night but we moved the table away from the open balcony and this was more comfortable. On a Saturday night they advertise cocktails at half price. The Mojito were nicely presented with a good portion of mint but were not very strong. We enjoyed fish balls to share as a starter. The grilled dorade was good but the beef did not taste fresh. It was difficult to get attention upstairs so we went down to pay. We had to wait a while as the bar area was very busy but fortunately checked the bill as the second Mojito was charged at full price.

I can recommend the "Benitier island" pizza with smoked Marlin and the "Le Morne" I had a half and half as I couldn't decide! Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Our waiter was new and really friendly he did a great job!

Fantastic place! Very delicious pizza's and amazing cocktails!!! Mango colada is the best 😆 Very quick service, nice people, always busy, from experience after a week it is a very good sign. We will be back for the third time as so far did not find anything better

The food was good 7/10, but I was disappointed with how they handled our forgotten order. Mistakes can happen, but it’s how you respond that matters. A simple, sincere “Sorry, we forgot your dish” would have made a big difference.
