Imagine one of the last remaining places on Mauritius where majestic black ebony trees stand tall and paradise flycatchers and Mauritius Black Bulbul chase each other through the trees. Once home to the Dodo, Ebony Forest, remains a refuge for threatened native flora and fauna. Visitors will be treated to open-air safari jeep rides, breathtaking views from Sublime Point and mid-canopy walkways. Our Tickets include Safari jeep ride and guided visit as per availability. Our Reserve is on the same way as the Seven Coloured Earth. However it is not necessary to purchase a ticket for both the Seven Coloured Earth and Ebony Forest. It is possible to buy a ticket only for Ebony Forest.

We did the Classic Tour with the jeep in the park. The pure kept nature is so wonderful to see. The guided tour was very interesting with a nice lady. We saw the Flycatcher, flying Fox, colourful gecko, Ebony trees and nature with all his beauty! Sublime Point is breathtaking. Highly recommended for nature lovers! Don't forget your musquito spray.
6. Le Morne Brabant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,322 reviews
. Dicovering the Morne Brabant - The slave route The Morne Brabant is a mountain of the south-west of Mauritius, on the peninsula of the Morne. Declared World Heritage by UNESCO since July 6, 2008, the site is a sanctuary for runaway slaves and is a strong cultural and patrimonial symbol for every Mauritian. Being on private land, Le Morne Brabant is one of the most preserved and wildest mountains of the island. It includes a multitude of endemic species, such as the rare Trochetia Boutonania, and its red flaming flower. The hike to the summit of Morne Brabant lasts between three and four hours, depending on the homogeneity of the group. Once on top, we discover the breathtaking panoramic views on the west and south-west lagoons and part of of the island.

We had a fantastic morning climbing this amazing mountain, especially given its links to slavery and the stronghold it became for escapee slaves. Make sure you take a few minutes to appreciate the little makeshift village at the bottom too. My husband was apprehensive of climbing the mountain without a guide, but I can assure anyone wanting to take on La Morne that you can absolutely do it on your own. The paths are well travelled and easy to navigate. They do become narrower and steeper towards the top once you pass the ‘Warning’ sign. There are also plenty of other walkers to know you are going in the right direction. Once you pass the sign do prepared for a steep ascent and slight bit of rock climbing/scrambling. As dangerous as it looks, as long as you take your time you’ll make it to the top. While we were trekking we saw multiple children climbing as well as those wearing slightly less suited footwear. Our view from the top was somewhat hindered by the clouds, but it was still a great morning out all the same. Take plenty of water and maybe some lunch to have at the top too. It took us about 3 hours to go up and down. A must activity for anyone loving the outdoors!
7. The Martello Tower Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 161 reviews
Next to a public beach which looks onto Le Morne Mountain and the sea where dolphins are sighted on boat trips. Experienced guides show visitors around this 19th century British fort. Come and discover why it was built, how the tower was equipped for soldiers to survive inside during a siege, and see where they ate and slept. Displays include a cannon, coins, military buttons, life size models of soldiers with their muskets and swords.Feel the weight of a real cannonball and see where the powder was kept. Have your camera handy for a photo of yourself dressed up as a soldier with a musket.

A throughly enjoyable guided tour around a lovingly restored landmark. It was great to see the artefacts and hear about the purpose of the tower. Would highly recommend
8. Les 7 Cascades

The only way to visit the true nature masterpiece as Les 7 Cascades is to find a guide who knows well the place as the path can be very tricky in some areas. Short rains are something usual here so it can be steep but also slippery. So it's important to choose the right clothes and shoes. My daughter /16/ and I visited Les 7 Cascades on 18 Dec. I researched on the Internet to find the right guide. My choice was Prakash Isram from Green Discovery. I wrote him a message in FB. Everything was arranged for less than 10 minutes. Unfortunately, that day was rainy. I looked at the sky, and I felt some doubts about whether to start the challenge at all. But we went. The weather conditions were not excellent, but the adventure was. We descended to the bottom of the valley and then started climbing cascade after cascade. Prakash showed us some unusual plants, told us some historical facts about the place and how it was looked in the past. We had a lot of possibilities to take pictures. There are a few places that he asked the group, whether someone wanted to swim. In our group, no one was willing to swim or jump in the water. We climbed all 7 cascades though I believe they must have been 10 or 12 as some waterfalls are next to each other almost at the same level in the valley. Prakash took care of everything including food and water. Sandwiches with traditional vindaye fish were good, but homemade samosas were very delicious. Lychees and pineapples were given us as a dessert. Everything was just perfect. I want to recommend Green Discovery and our guide Prakash Isram to everyone who has an adventurous spirit and is willing to take the challenge called '7 Cascades'. I have no doubt that Prakash will take into account your preferences and level of fitness to make your experience the best possible.

My Fiancé and I went on the dolphin watching and Ile aux Benitiers trip and it was without a doubt our favourite day of the whole holiday! The entire trip was amazing, and the staff were so friendly and laid back - really adding to the island vibes of the day! The stop for snorkelling and the BBQ in the middle of some of the bluest water I've ever seen was just incredible. Then you sail off to the small market island, with music playing and free beers and rum! What more could you ask for. You arrive and anchor about a mile off Ile aux Benitiers and take a small boat past the beautiful Crystal Rock and to the shore where you have some free time to wander the stalls and swim at the beach, which really looks like a giant swimming pool! Amazing. Would love to do it again!
