You'll then round another 20-metre waterfall and reach another pool, where you can take a dip after the long walk.

Finally, the half-day hike to the 7 waterfalls of Tamarin in Mauritius will end above a huge 55-metre waterfall... at its summit, you'll discover a breathtaking view of the Black River Gorges National Park!

Les cascades sont tres belles et cette randonnee nous a permis de decouvrir une autre facette de cette ile sublime. La balade est assez physique, de bonnes chaussures sont absolument necessaires.

Une randonnée super chouette accompagnée par notre guide Gayan qui nous a dévoilé toutes les beautés du site, qui nous a gâtés avec une délicieuse pause fruits et qui nous a guidés pour la prise de photos et ce malgré une météo pluvieuse.

We did the half day waterfall hike, which for us was perfect. The hike was tougher than were were expecting. Though not a huge amount of distance was covered, the descents and ascents are pretty steep and tricky. The waterfalls are beautiful and being able to swim in several of them was brilliant. This is a must see for anyone staying in Mauritius.
