Mauritius: Le Morne Mountain Guided Sunrise Hike and Climb

1.Le Morne Mountain Guided Sunrise Hike and Climb

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 839 reviews · 4 hours · from $75Our pick

Climb 470-meter Le Morne Brabant before sunrise with guides such as Kevin, Eric, Ravi, or Matt. Expect rainforest, endemic plants and birds, four rocky scrambling sections, Mauritian history, snacks, and wide sea views from the memorial cross. This is a serious half-day hike, not a gentle nature walk.

“This was at the top of my must-do in Mauritius and it didn’t disappoint. We met at 4:30am and embarked on a fun, challenging yet thrilling hike up Le Morne Brabant to catch the sunrise over the island. The history about Le Morne Brabant and facts about Mauritius which Kevin shared along the way added to the experience. Everyone had a good time. Thank you, Kevin.”
