Canyoning in Mauritius

Tamarind Falls, the valley Mauritians call 7 Cascades, is where the island's canyoning happens. Three hours of waterfall rappels, natural pools and a route your guide chooses on the day, inside the landscape the hiking trails only look down on.

Good to know before the descent

The venue

The descent runs through the Tamarind Falls valley at Henrietta, a chain of waterfalls and pools in the island's green interior known locally as 7 Cascades.

What you actually do

Around three hours of rappelling down waterfalls, swimming and crossing natural pools, and moving through the canyon on a route your guide selects for the day's water levels.

Canyoning or the hike

The same valley hosts guided waterfall walks. Hiking looks into the falls from the trails, canyoning goes down inside them, and the two combine well across a stay.

Common questions

How is canyoning different from the Tamarind Falls hike?

The hike follows the trails and viewpoints around the waterfalls. Canyoning descends inside them, with rappels down the falls and swims across the pools between drops.

How long does it take?

About three hours in the canyon, with the route chosen by your guide according to the day's water levels and the group.

Can I combine it with other adventures?

Yes. A live adventure bundle pairs the canyoning with the Le Morne hike and an e-bike tour, and the hiking hub covers the rest of the island's trails.
