Move. Explore. Connect.
This 5-day experience invites you to discover Mauritius beyond the postcards—through local guides, private transfers, and a collection of outdoor adventures grounded in nature. Whether you’re chasing waterfalls or kayaking through mangroves, each day is designed to offer a deeper connection with the island. Fully customisable—from activities to accommodation, including the possibility to exclude accommodation if you've booked this yourself.
Day 1: Arrival & Settle in Tamarin
Upon arrival, enjoy a private transfer to La Mariposa, your peaceful, beachfront retreat in the laid-back village of Tamarin. With views of Le Morne mountain and a warm, local atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to recharge and prepare for the days ahead.
Day 2: Hike Le Morne Brabant (UNESCO Site)
Trek the legendary Le Morne Brabant, guided by a local expert who will share the mountain’s deep historical and cultural significance. From the summit, take in the best views of the famed “underwater waterfall” illusion and gain insight into the site’s role in the island’s history of resistance and freedom.
Day 3: Kayak to Amber Island & Taste Local Litchi Wine
Glide across a clear lagoon by sea kayak to Amber Island, where you’ll paddle through mangroves, snorkel vibrant marine life, and explore ancient ruins—all in the company of skilled local guides. Refuel with an artisanal energy snack made with Mauritian ingredients.
In the afternoon, enjoy a tasting at a boutique litchi winery (self-guided, entrance included), where organic, small-batch wine is crafted from locally grown litchis—a one-of-a-kind island experience.
Day 4: Canyoning at Tamarin Falls (Les 7 Cascades)
Get your adrenaline pumping as you canyon your way through Tamarin Falls—a lush and wild playground tucked in the heart of Mauritius. With 4 waterfall abseils, natural pools for swimming, jungle hikes, and a final cliff jump, this immersive eco-adventure is led by experienced local guides and designed for safety and sustainability.
