4.Le Morne Mountain UNESCO Eco Hike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 483 reviews · 4 hours · from $82

Climb Le Morne Brabant with Bryn James and the Eco Explorers Mauritius team. A 4WD ride through a private wildlife estate leads to a sunrise hike, four scrambling sections, lagoon views, conservation stories, and summit photos. The $82, four-hour trip includes a guide, insurance, and photographs, but you must bring your own food and water.

“As a young couple with no prior hiking experience, we were a bit nervous about this trip, but Bryn immediately put us at ease. He made us feel safe and confident throughout. The hike to the top of Le Morne was challenging, but the descent proved even tougher. However, reaching the summit was absolutely worth it—the views are breathtaking! Bryn’s personal touch truly enhanced our experience. He captured incredible photos of our journey, which he kindly shared with us at no extra cost by the end of the day. Starting at 4am was an early wake-up call, but it was well worth it, especially as the temperature reached almost 40°C…”
