Black River Gorges National Park

Drive into Black River Gorges National Park, a 68 sq-km expanse of remnant native rainforest and a core highlight of Mauritius tourism. Key stops include the Black River Gorges viewpoint for sweeping valley views, Alexandra Falls, and the 7 Cascades (Tamarind Falls) hike. The park is also one of the best places to spot rare endemic species such as the Mauritius kestrel and pink pigeon, both successfully brought back from near extinction. This makes it one of the most rewarding things to do in Mauritius, adding a strong nature and conservation dimension to your overall Mauritius travel experience.
