Overview
Hike to the summit of the island with a 360 degree view on top!
The Black River Peak, culminating at 828m, is the highest peak of Mauritius, yet one of the easier hikes.
A 90 minutes hike brings us up to the top of small peak through endemic trees, exotic plants and Chinese guava bushes.
We will take a break midway, offering beautiful views over Chamarel in St Denis Valley, hills above the Colored Earth, Le Morne mountain and Ile aux Benitiers Island on the South West coast.
The last part of the trail is very steep and some may need assistance so we carry a piece of rope to help you up. Once on top, the reward is truly worth the effort!
