Welcome to Mauritius Tours!
Hi, I'm Jenny, founder of Mauritius Tours. I started this company in 2024 because I kept seeing tourists going on generic tours, missing the real Mauritius. I grew up in the wild south of the island, surrounded by mountains and the ocean. That closeness to nature never left me. After years working abroad in international development, I felt I needed to come back to the homeland — and Mauritius Tours was born. Today, Mauritius Tours is a team of five professional guides, plus Roxy, our rescued trail companion. We do everything with deep respect for the island we love, because the real Mauritius is worth protecting. We look forward to seeing you in Mauritius. — Jenny & the Mauritius Tours team (Roxy included 🐾) Learn more about us

Discover The Natural Beauty Of Mauritius
Nestled roughly 2,000 kilometers off the coast of East Africa, Mauritius overflows with natural beauty and uncommon splendor. Beyond its famous beaches, the island shelters lush forests, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic volcanic landscapes. From the iconic Le Morne Brabant mountain to the pristine shores of Île aux Cerfs, it's a natural habitat for unique wildlife including pink pigeons, echo parakeets, and the Mauritian flying fox. Visitors from around the world fall in love with Mauritius after hiking through volcanic peaks, discovering hidden rockpools in pristine forests, and spotting rare birds in the protected Black River Gorges National Park. Your Mauritius visit can take you from the bustling markets of Port Louis to secret waterfalls that few tourists ever see. What makes the island truly special is how much remains undiscovered—secret trails wind through untouched wilderness, and waterfalls cascade in locations known only to locals. When you discover Mauritius with us, you'll experience nature as it was meant to be: wild, beautiful, and wonderfully uncrowded. Discover Mauritius like never before—experience it all for yourself and book a guided tour with us today!

PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT PARTIES & APPLICATION Between: Paradise Adventours Ltd and its wholly owned subsidiary and its trading entities: Paradise Adventours or Mauritius Tours, as the case may be, jointly referred to as “the Company”. And: The Traveller named at the conclusion of this Participation Agreement “the Traveller” All references in this Participation Agreement to, “we”, “our” and/or “us” should be taken as referring to the Company. All references in this Participation Agreement to, “I”, “you” and/or “my” should be taken as referring to the Traveler. INTRODUCTION I have carefully read the terms and conditions stated in these pages. In consideration for the right to participate, I agree as follows: STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING Although the Company has made reasonable efforts to assure my safety while participating in the tour and activities offered, I understand that there are certain risks, dangers, and hazards that are inherent. These include, but are not limited to, physical and mental fatigue, slips, falls, and collisions, encounters with wild animals, varied terrain, altitude-related illness, changing weather conditions, acts or omissions of the public or other participants, accident, or illness in remote areas without the possibility of immediate evacuation or availability of medical supplies or facilities, and accidents occurring during travel associated with the tour. Encountering these risks, dangers, and hazards could result in physical injuries, death, or damage to personal property. I understand that it is impossible for the Company to list in this agreement every inherent risk, danger, or hazard associated with participating. I understand and appreciate, however, that I may encounter these, and other inherent risks, dangers, and hazards not specifically listed in this agreement at any time. I also understand that the tour may include free time. Any activities not included during such free time are undertaken solely at my own risk and the Company, its guides or any other representatives are not liable or responsible for my actions. ASSUMPTION OF RISK I accept and assume all the inherent risks, dangers, and hazards associated with participation, whether known or unknown, including those specifically identified above. I am voluntarily participating with the knowledge of the dangers involved. I therefore release and discharge the Company and its owners, employees, subcontracted activity and service providers, and business partners from liability for bodily injury, death, property damage or theft, and any of the consequences thereof, arising from my participation in the tour. I enter into this release of liability on behalf of myself, and those members of my party who are under 18. I certify that I am the parent or guardian of any such minors. Provided that nothing in this Statement of Understanding and Assumption of Risks and Release and Indemnity Agreement shall be interpreted as me releasing Paradise Adventours Ltd. or its subsidiaries from liability for injuries, damage, death, or other loss to participant or others that may occur within the jurisdiction of the Republic of Mauritius and is caused by Paradise Adventours Ltd or its subsidiaries’ negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct, including but not limited to any negligence with respect to Paradise Adventours Ltd or its subsidiaries’ judgments and decisions, or failure to take reasonable precautions to ensure it provides defect-free equipment. THE COMPANY IS NOT LIABLE FOR THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS The Company makes arrangements with activity providers, coach companies, transfer operators, shore excursion operators, and other independent parties (“Third Party Suppliers”) to provide me with some or all of the components of your booking. Third Party Suppliers may also engage the services of local operators and sub-contractors. Although the Company takes all reasonable care in selecting Third Party Suppliers, the Company is unable to control Third Party Suppliers, does not supervise Third Party Suppliers and therefore cannot be responsible for their acts or omissions. Any services provided by Third Party Suppliers are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by these Third Party Suppliers and their liability is limited by their tariffs, conditions of carriage, tickets and vouchers and agreements that govern the provision of their services. These may limit or exclude liability of the Third Party Supplier. I acknowledge that Third Party Suppliers operate in compliance with the applicable laws and the Company does not warrant that any Third Party Supplier is in compliance with the laws of The Traveller’s country of residence or any other jurisdiction. The Company is not liable and will not assume responsibility for any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses arising out of inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, upset, disappointment, distress or frustration, whether physical or mental, resulting from the act or omission of any party other than the Company and its employees. The Company is not liable for the acts or omissions, whether negligent or otherwise, of Third Party Suppliers or any independent contractors. TRANSMISSIBLE DISEASES As a traveller, I am aware of the danger of highly transmissible diseases such as the COVID 19 virus which are or may be transmitted through personal contact. I am further aware that I could be an unwitting carrier of such a disease and might transmit it to others in my vicinity if proper precautions are not taken. I therefore agree to follow all health and safety protocols and policies implemented by the Company, at all times during my travels, including all disease management or control protocols, policies, laws, rules, regulations and mandates enforced by the Company and any local or national jurisdiction that I will travel to. In particular I acknowledge and accept the risk posed to my person and to third parties from travelling to areas where there might be a risk of contracting or being exposed to transmissible diseases, and I waive any claim I may have against the Company and release the Company and its employees, officers, directors, and agents from any and all claims that may vest in myself or my estate which may arise out of my travel with the Company in relation to any such disease, including, but not limited to, my infection or transmission of the disease. In the event that I provide false information to the Company, I waive any claim or defense I may otherwise have related to any harm or damages caused by, related to, or arising out of the provision of such false information, and do agree to indemnify and release the Company, its employees, officers, directors, and agents from any and all claims that may arise out of the same. I do furthermore waive any claim or defense I may otherwise have related to any harm or damages caused by, related to, or arising out of my failure to comply with the health and safety policies, protocols, laws, rules, regulations and mandates enforced by the Company, any local or national government, or any third party vendor in association with the Company, and do agree to indemnify and release the Company, its employees, officers, directors, and agents from any and all claims that may arise out of the same.

I acknowledge that the Company can cancel my tour at any time, and/or exclude me from any activity(s), at my expense if I do not adhere to the instructions of a guide or any other person engaged by the Company to conduct any aspect of the tour, or if I am behaving in a manner that could affect the health, safety or wellbeing of others on the tour, including the guides and/or tour leaders. I agree that it’s at the complete discretion of my guide(s) to cancel any activity at any moment if there are concerns for the health, safety and wellbeing of the group or any individual. I accept that there will be no refunds for activities, travel, or any itinerary items missed for this reason. FITNESS TO PARTICIPATE I have reviewed the tour itinerary/description and have sought and obtained any further clarification that may have been required to ascertain the physical and mental requirements for completing the tour and I confirm that I meet those requirements, and that I will notify the Company immediately if my situation should change either prior to or at any time during the tour. I also confirm that I have fully disclosed any applicable medical conditions that may affect my ability to safely take part in my tour, by completing the medical section in the online waiver. I also acknowledge that the Company may cancel my tour at any time or exclude me from any activity if it becomes apparent to the Company, any of its guides, or any contractor responsible for providing any aspects of a tour or activity, at any time prior to or during the tour or activity, that I am likely to be unable to complete the tour or activity without undue risk to the health of myself or others, at the complete discretion of the Company. I accept that there will be no refunds for activities, travel, or any itinerary items missed for this reason. The Company recommends that I consult with a physician before participating.

Who We Are
Our Story
When we first launched Mauritius Tours, everyone was booking generic tours, and it wasn’t easy to convince travellers that the best parts of Mauritius were far from the tourist hotspots and hidden deep in the island’s wild forests, coastal trails, and secret waterfalls. But that changed fast when our first client review gained over 1,000 likes in a single day, and more than 100 travellers messaged us in a day wanting the exact same experience. Travellers quickly realised that Mauritius had far more to offer than crowded viewpoints and standard sightseeing. Our off-the-beaten-path hikes, waterfall adventures, and land and sea tours quickly became one of the most popular ways to explore Mauritius. If you’ve discovered a secret trail, natural rock pool, or quiet mountain viewpoint in recent years, there’s a good chance you did it with us – because today Mauritius Tours is known for showing travelers the real Mauritius, safely, authentically, and one hidden gem at a time. We can't wait to welcome you to discover our beautiful island with us! Jenny & the entire team at Mauritius Tours

FAQs
What Happens If There Is A Cyclone or A Force Majeure Event? In circumstances where a cancelation is necessary due to any conditions or event beyond our control including, but not limited to, natural events, pandemics, border restrictions, terrorism, or political instability, or mechanical breakdown, we can transfer your booking to an alternative departure or tour, or we will offer a tour credit to use towards the balance of any new booking. If your booking is changed or transferred for any reason, the booking Terms and Conditions in effect on the date your new booking is made will apply. We are not responsible for any additional expenses you may incur as a result of your booking being cancelled or changed including, but not limited to, visas, vaccinations, medical expenses, clothing, equipment, testing, quarantine, travel insurance excess or flights. Is Travel Insurance A Must? Comprehensive travel insurance is a must to participate in our tours. Your insurance plan should include full medical cover, emergency evacuation and emergency repatriation. You should also ensure you are covered for tour cancellation and have protection for any other issues including, but not limited to, flight cancellations or delays, loss of luggage and personal effects, and theft. You are required to add your travel insurance information to your waiver by no later than 24 hours prior to departure. If this information is not provided, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and standard cancellation policies will apply. Do you offer hotel pickups? Yes, we can arrange pickup from anywhere in Mauritius. The transfer fee depends on your location. Can we self-drive? Absolutely. We’ll share the meeting point and start time in advance. Do you offer dolphin or animal encounters? No, we do not offer dolphin swims, shark encounters, or any activities that disturb wildlife. At Mauritius Tours, we believe wild animals belong in the wild. Activities like swimming with dolphins, feeding monkeys, or posing with captive animals may seem exciting, but they can harm animal populations and disrupt natural behavior. Here’s why we don’t offer them: 1. Stress to Wildlife: Chasing dolphins or surrounding them with boats can cause extreme stress, interrupt feeding and nursing, and even injure them with propellers. 2. Habitat Impact: Frequent disturbance can drive animals away from their natural areas, affecting breeding grounds and ecosystems. 3. Ethical Responsibility: We want to leave a positive impact on Mauritius. Our philosophy is “take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints.” Instead, we focus on responsible nature experiences : hiking, and exploring wild landscapes where animals are observed respectfully, at a distance, without interference. Occasionally, you may spot monkeys, birds, or even dolphins from shore, but we let nature lead the encounter. VISAS We recommend that you consult your airline or travel agent, and/or refer to the Mauritius Passport and Immigration Office to verify if you need a visa for Mauritius: https://passport.govmu.org/passport/?page_id=605 All-In-One Form All visitors and residents need to fill out the All-In-One form when entering the country. Please see the form here: https://safemauritius.govmu.org Sim Cards Getting a SIM card in Mauritius is a straightforward process and can help you stay connected during your trip. Here’s what you need to know about SIM cards in Mauritius: Where to Buy SIM Cards Airport: You can purchase SIM cards at the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) upon arrival. Retail Stores: SIM cards are available at various retail stores, convenience shops, and official stores of mobile operators throughout Mauritius. Shopping Malls: You can also find SIM cards at major shopping malls like Bagatelle Mall and Caudan Waterfront. Required Documents Passport: You will need to show your passport for identification when purchasing a SIM card. Registration: Operators might require you to register the SIM card, which is typically done at the point of purchase. Language English is the official language while French is widely spoken and read. Most newspapers are in French. Mauritians are bilingual and many are polyglots since they speak Creole and a variety of Asian languages and dialects. Population The population is of diverse racial and cultural origins. Mauritius constitutes of descendatns of French, British, Indians, Chinese, Africans. As of 2023, Mauritius now has the highest population density in Africa. Mauritius has a population of 1,235,260 (608,090 males, 627,170 females) according to the 2022 Census. Indo-Mauritians are roughly sixty-six percent of the population.The Indo-Mauritian population consists of Hindu, Muslim and Christian descendants of Indian laborers. Mauritian Creoles (descendants of Africans) are twenty-eight percent of the population. Today, a significant proportion of Creoles are of African descent, with varying amounts of French and Indian ancestry. Along with the French European community, there are about three percent of British expatriates or people of British descent in Mauritius. Sino-Mauritians from the Hakka and other Chinese sub-ethnic/linguistic groups make up around three percent of Mauritian society. Currency Currency: Mauritian Rupee (MUR) Notes: Common denominations include MUR 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000. Coins: Available in MUR 1, 5, 10, and 20. Where Can I Exchange Money? At the Airport: Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU), has currency exchange counters. ATMs: ATMs are widely available throughout Mauritius and accept major international credit and debit cards. They can be a convenient way to withdraw local currency, but be mindful of transaction fees and exchange rates. Currency Exchange Offices: Specialized currency exchange services are available in tourist areas and major cities like Port Louis, Flic en Flac, and Grand Baie. They often offer competitive rates, but check if they charge any service fees. Are Credit Cards Widely Accepted or Should I Bring Cash? Major credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and many shops. Ensure your card provider is notified of your travel plans to avoid any issues with transactions. However, if you visit local service providers for activities or want to purchase from street vendors, you will need to pay in cash. Power Supply, Voltage and Plug Type In Mauritius, the power supply and electrical specifications and plug types are as follows: Power Supply and Voltage Voltage: 230 volts Frequency: 50 Hz Plug Type: The standard plug types used in Mauritius are Type C and Type G. Type C: This plug has two round pins and is commonly used across Europe. Type G: This plug has three rectangular prongs and is used in the UK and other countries. TIPS: Check Device Compatibility: Many modern electronic devices (like laptops and phone chargers) are designed to work with a range of voltages (e.g., 100-240V), but always verify this to avoid any issues. Purchase a universal plug adapter before your trip. Best Time To Visit Mauritius The best time to visit Mauritius is from June to October, when temperatures sit around 24°C and conditions are at their driest. The cyclone season typically runs from December to March. While most cyclones pass out at sea, some do reach the island, bringing heavy rain and strong winds—so it’s best to avoid these months.

What do people say about Mauritius Tours?
I cannot recommend this epic tour highly enough! It was easily one of (if not the best) the standout moments of our honeymoon. Our guide, Jay, was fantastic, taking us to hidden parts of the island we would have completely missed otherwise and helping us capture incredible photos that we can't wait to print. A quick note for anyone considering this: the tour can be slightly challenging in places, especially if you aren't the most adventurous. As someone who loves a gentle hike back home in South Wales but is wary of heights and rough terrain, I was initially a bit cautious. However, I needn’t have worried. Jay was phenomenal at providing the perfect balance of challenge and support. Whenever the landscape got tricky, he took our bags, slowed the pace, and carefully guided our steps. He seamlessly adapted the day to our skill level, the weather, and the sunrise, giving me the confidence to push through and experience moments I would have otherwise missed. The logistics and communication from both Jenny and Jay were also the best I’ve ever experienced. When bad weather forced us to reschedule, they were incredibly accommodating. They helped us find a new date and even updated our pickup point, as we had moved to a hotel in the north of the island by the time the weather cleared. I really appreciated their thoughtful touches, from double-checking our footwear and advising us on what to pack, to Jay taking the time to seamlessly handle my dietary preferences at our lunch stop. Overall, this is a brilliantly organized experience. It is challenging enough that you finish the day feeling incredibly proud of your achievements, having seen some truly magical parts of Mauritius, but so well run that you never feel unsupported or overwhelmed.

*TOUR RECOMMENDATION* My husband and I went on the Wild South Tour last week ran by Mauritius Tours. We had an absolutely incredible time. Jay was our guide and did a fantastic job supporting us on the day, leading us to incredible sites that we never would have found, and taking epic photos that will enable us to remember the trip forever. It was a highlight of our honeymoon! Prior to the trip, communications with Jenny and Jay were brilliant. Our friend from the UK recommended the company to us, and - if you’re reading this and you’re thinking of doing a tour - honestly, just book it! A huge, huge thank you to Jay for making it such a special day - we are so incredibly grateful! 🙏 If you’re interested, their website is: www.mauritiustours.com 😊

Nitish was our guide for the Le Morne hike, we were collected punctually from our accommodation and taken to the start of the hike. Nitish was kind, knowledgeable and extremely helpful, we felt very safe with him. Nitish kindly helped some hikers would had managed to get up the mountain without a guide, one of whom got quite distressed and scared, he allowed them to join us and made sure we all got up and down safely. Although only about 5k in distance the hike ascends 1,600ft and is quite strenuous, you need a good level of fitness and no fear of heights to compete it, I was glad we had Nitish, he talked us through each stage and really looked out for us. The views are definitely worth the shaky legs! Thank you

Wild North Tour and 5 island boat tripI was struggling to find a reputable licensed and insured tour company to book our group trips whilst in Mauritius. After hours of research I found Mauritius Tours who ticked all the boxes for us. Jenny and Jay were amazing with excellent communication throughout the booking process in the UK and whilst in Mauritius. They were informative and ensured we were safe at all times.We thoroughly enjoyed both trips. The boat trip was both relaxing and exhilarating gliding through the crystal clear waters on the cataspeed and relaxing on the top deck with homemade rum! We saw wild monkeys, dolphins, the amazing waterfall and were able to snorkel in turquoise sea with amazing fish.The Wild North Tour (hike) was superb, we saw wild monkeys, ate fresh guava from the bushes, picked peppercorns and had THE most amazing views. We were then able to swim in a stunning secret waterfall to cool off. Jenny and Jay ensured our safety and gently encouraged us when we were climbing the trickiest parts.I would highly recommend this fabulous family run tour agency.

The tour felt more like an experience of exploring the island with a friend rather than a typical tourist tour. Everything was very relaxed, with no strict schedules, just enjoying the places at your own pace. Jenny went above and beyond to provide a great and personalized tour. She even stopped at KFC so I wouldn’t leave Mauritius without trying it! That was amazing.You can really feel the passion they have for what they do in the way they treat their clients and showcase the island while being mindful of the environment. It’s hard to find agencies that align with these values, and this one definitely does, which makes the experience even better.Without a doubt, the tour was one of the highlights of my trip and made a real difference. It’s a shame I didn’t find this agency sooner. I would have gone on all their tours. I don’t usually write reviews, but this tour was so good that it truly deserves one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended – An Exceptional Experience with Mauritius Adventours Mauritius Adventours made our trip unforgettable. From the very beginning, Jenny was incredible — she handled all our booking questions with patience and clarity, and even helped tailor the Wild South Tour to suit exactly what we wanted. Knowing the company is fully insured also gave us real peace of mind, and we felt safe and well looked after throughout. Even as a returning visitor to Mauritius, this tour showed me places and experiences I’d never seen before. It was genuinely brilliant and a wonderful unique experience for my first time visiting partner A heartfelt thank you to Jay, our fantastic guide. His knowledge of Mauritian history added so much depth to the day, and his patience and support along the walking paths made the whole experience feel reassuring and relaxed. I felt safe, encouraged, and completely taken care of from start to finish. We also enjoyed a wonderful lunch with authentic Mauritian cuisine — delicious food in a beautiful setting that made the day feel even more special. The photography package is absolutely worth it. Your guide creates unique photo opportunities and captures moments you simply wouldn’t get on your own — a perfect way to remember the day. If you’re considering an excursion in Mauritius, definitely choose Mauritius Adventours. You won’t be disappointed.

We had an amazing experience with Mauritius Adventours. We joined the Wild South Tour with guide Rahul, as well as the Le Morne hike and Tamarind Falls hike with Nitish, and every tour was really well organized.During the Wild South Tour, Rahul took us to several hidden gems away from the usual tourist crowds, which made the experience special and authentic. He shared local insights and created a relaxed atmosphere.Nitish was an outstanding hiking guide, and very pleasant and knowledgeable. He ensured our safety, especially during the more challenging parts of the hikes. Communication and organization of the tours were handled by Jenny. She carefully listened to our wishes, always prioritized our safety, and took weather conditions into account when planning the activities. She also joined us on the Tamarind Falls hike and took some really nice photos. Overall, Mauritius Adventours offers a personal, professional, and high-quality experience and we would strongly recommend them!

We had an amazing experience with Mauritius Adventours and can highly recommend them. We joined the Wild South Tour with our guide Rahul, as well as the Le Morne hike and Tamarind Falls hike with Nitish, and every excursion was exceptionally well organized. During the Wild South Tour, Rahul took us to several hidden gems and lesser-known spots away from the usual tourist crowds, which made the experience feel truly special and authentic. He shared great local insights while creating a relaxed atmosphere and always ensuring our safety. Nitish was an outstanding hiking guide—knowledgeable, pleasant, and attentive to safety, especially during the more challenging parts of the hikes. Both guides clearly have a strong passion for what they do. Communication and organization were handled by Jenny, who was extremely professional from start to finish. She carefully listened to our wishes, always prioritized our safety, and took weather conditions into account when planning the activities. She also joined us on the Tamarind Falls hike and took some really nice photos. Even after the tours, she followed up with genuine interest in our experiences, which we really appreciated. Overall, Mauritius Adventours offers a very personal, professional, and high-quality experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to explore Mauritius in an active and authentic way.

What can I say!! Wonderful experience to discover some pearls of southern Mauritius. We booked because we were looking for something different from the usual excursions and we were more than satisfied 😊 Thanks to Jenny and Rahul we visited places off the most crowded "trade routes" and in fact, in addition to the beauty of nature and breathtaking scenery, we especially enjoyed the tranquility of the places visited, as if they were reserved only for us.Caves and natural pools, waterfalls, an entire beach just for us!! And then an extra stop in the sugar cane fields to taste the sweetness and a typical tasty lunch!Hiking with Jenny and Rahul was like going out on a trip with two old friends, they entertained us, helped us in the parts a little more challenging and, especially without a watch in hand, they left us all the time necessary to appreciate the beauties of Mauritius. Thank you so much again ♥️

Che dire!! Esperienza meravigliosa alla scoperta di alcune perle del sud di Mauritius. Abbiamo prenotato perché cercavamo qualcosa di diverso dalle solite escursioni e siamo rimasti più che soddisfatti 😊 Grazie a Jenny e Rahul abbiamo visitato luoghi fuori dalle "rotte commerciali " più affollate e infatti, oltre alla bellezza della natura e agli scenari mozzafiato, abbiamo apprezzato soprattutto la tranquillità dei luoghi visitati, come se fossero riservati solo a noi. Grotte e piscine naturali, cascate, un'intera spiaggia solo per noi!! E poi una sosta extra nei campi di canna da zucchero per assaggiarne la dolcezza e un pranzo tipico gustosissimo!!! Andare in escursione con Jenny e Rahul è stato come uscire in gita con due vecchi amici, ci hanno fatto divertire, ci hanno aiutato nelle parti un pochino piu impegnative e, soprattutto senza orologio alla mano, ci hanno lasciato tutto il tempo necessario per apprezzare le bellezze di Mauritius. Grazie mille ancora

If you enjoy a bit of walking and swimming and visiting beautiful secluded places, definitely book a trip with Mauritius Adventours. We had an amazing day and visited places we would never have found by ourselves or through any other tours that we saw advertised.Jenny and Jay were such great company and were able to tailor the day slightly to what they thought suited us best. Booking directly with them is easy.

There’s a reason Jenny has so many outstanding reviews everywhere you see Mauritius Adventours – she is just that good! I recently hosted a woman’s retreat in Mauritius, and wanted to do something special for my foreign visitors before we officially kicked our program off. Although groups aren’t Jenny’s favourite thing, she agreed to work with me. We have been planning this for months, and her communication and support during the build up was phenomenal. Tour day arrived and we kicked off with a visit to Grand Bassin followed by the secret beach which cemented my ladies love affair with this island. After a delicious lunch at a local spot, we began the descent towards the rock pool. The terrain and challenges on the way were exactly what we needed to cement bonds during our retreat. What set this experience apart for me was the love, kindness and support that Jenny and Rahul gave us during these physical challenges. Many ladies were pushed right out of their comfort zone, but we couldn’t have done it without Rahul’s gentle step and step guidance and Jenny’s leadership. We will definitely be back!! Rahul and Jenny will forever have my gratitude.

As a newbie to hiking- I had no idea what to expect. Jenny and Rahul were the most amazing guides. I overcame my fear of heights with their patience and encouragement, traversed rocky terrain, and was rewarded with a dip in a rock pool. The scenery was simply breathtaking and I can’t wait to return to Mauritius and take another hike! I am hooked!

Jenny and Rahul gave us the most amazing adventure in Mauritius — the kind you wish you could bottle up and relive again and again. Every stop they took us to was more stunning than the last: turquoise waters, lush views, hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own, and the kind of natural beauty that leaves you speechless. They planned everything with such care, made us feel welcome from the moment we met, and added so much fun and personality to the entire experience. You can tell they genuinely love what they do — and it shows in every detail. If you’re looking for breathtaking sights, easygoing vibes, and an adventure you’ll be talking about for years… Jenny and Rahul are the ones. Highly, highly recommend!

If you are looking for a chill and fun way of discovering the east coast of Mauritius then the 5 Islands tour provided by Mauritius Aventours is the one to choose.From the get go, Jenny was great in explaining in details what to expect and answered all my queries especially when unsure which options to choose from.The 5 Islands tours consisted of island hopping discovering the beautiful views of the east coast, snorkelling in the deep blue sea to feeding the monkeys etc.Let's not forget sipping the local rum while chilling in the clear water 😁I would 100% recommend this company especially after having an amazing time discovering Mauritius via 2 different tours offered by them!

After researching for hours and being overwhelmed with so many different companies, we ended up choosing Mauritius Adventours based on their fantastic reviews and attention to details especially around safety and boy did they exceed our expectations! Jenny, Jay and not to forget Roxy - the sweetest and most experienced paw guide ever were amazing especially for putting up with the demands of two crazy chicks! They were all oh so very patient but most of all clear in their communication and ensured our safety throughout the day. We had a blast and did things we would have never thought of doing such as jumping off the waterfall! If you are looking for an exhilarating experience with the knowledge that you are in great hands then I would 💯 recommend Mauritius Aventours! PS : For the Wild South tour, take the private tour option and photography package!!!!! Worth every $$$ Thank you again for making this holiday memorable!

Exceptional Experience & Professional Care - Our 5-Star Le Morne Summit with Jenny, Jai and Mauritius Adventours! On our fourth trip to Mauritius I dediced to acquire Mauritius Adventour's services again. This time, I wanted to tackle the challenging Le Morne hike, specifically aiming for the climb to reach the summit. Before the tour even started, Jenny sent us detailed instructions on what to wear and what to expect. The team carefully observed the weather and re-arranged the hike to align with the best forecast twice, which was reassuring. Their professional work raise the interest of my husband who didn’t consider the excursion originally. A truly exceptional gesture was Jenny lending me a spare pair of hiking shoes with proper grip! My husband and my 10-year-old daughter both suffer from acrophobia. Our fantastic guide, Jai, was absolutely incredible, he acted like a mentor and coach for them, making them feel comfortable and safe all the way. To my complete surprise—and something I never expected—they both reached the summit! Jai's went above and beyond with his attention and profedsionalism made all the difference. During the long hike (it took us more than 7 hours) we exchanged perspectives on life and living conditions in Mauritius to those in Central Europe and UK, or fascinating comparisons of mentality differences between three continents (Africa and Mauritius, Central Europe/ UK and Chineses etc). This personal discussion made the journey even more enriching. Engaging into local lives. We came as strangers but left as friends again. It was one of those excursions that genuinely made me realize why I travel. A 5-star recommendation for Mauritius Adventour all the way!

We have just returned from an amazing 14 night holiday in Belle Mare. I did alot of research before we arrived to find a reputable company for a few trips. It started off as a minefield, any requests for recommendations on social media were met with companies touting for business which always puts me off. However through my own research I stumbled across Mauritius Adventours . It was their high review scores that stood out for me. From the beginning answering my WhatsApp messages they came across as being very professional. We booked the Central Wilderness tour and paid via Pay Pal. Their contact throughout was very good and they kept an eye on the weather to make sure our day was special. We also climbed the highest peak in Mauritius after the waterfall hike and on both trips we were followed by a drone with Jay at the controls. This was something we decided to book as one of their optional extras. Jenny asked for photos of our footwear before we left the UK to make sure it was adequate and when we were on the trip it totally made sense why she did as some of the rocks can be very slippery so her attention to health and safety was much appreciated. We stopped off for a lovely lunch in a small Mauritian cafe that served delicious traditional food before we set off for part two, The mountain hike. The drone package was really worth the extra cost. You cannot appreciate the amazing scenery around you from photos like you can when the drone pans out. We are so glad we have the amazing footage Jay took to keep and share with friends and family. It certainly was a memorable day and we are so glad we did the research and found Mauritius Adventours

Mauritius Adventours offered me, a solo traveler a personalized service from the moment of planning, booking, and up until the end of my adventures. I was very pleased by the amount of attention given in every detail from start to finish. I was given trusted local taxi drivers and I was assisted with transfers and taken on a grocery run for my Air B&B after one of the tours. I enjoyed the 3 tours and pictures from Wild South that they took. Jenny and Jay had expert local advice, insider tips, and on-the-ground support to make sure my experiences went smoothly. They are Authentic very down to earth individuals, who will show kindness and understanding, of whatever you need to have the adventure you dreamt of while planning, also very important it was STRESS-FREE. I sat back and relaxed, it was my most valued aspect of all the tours. I will book through them again the next time I visit. Thank you J&J!!!

Before arriving on the island, Laurie Luciano and I had the Top of Mauritius tour booked. We had such an awesome day with Jenny that we jumped into the Wild South tour the next day! On the Wild South Tour Jenny took us to some hidden gems including secluded beaches, favourite local waterfalls and exploring pools and caves along dramatic seaside cliffs. For lunch, she proved again that she knows some excellent local Mauritian restaurants! Also, our small group tour introduced us to two other wonderful people who were Mauritians taking the tour to visit some of the hidden gems of their home island for the first time! Jenny’s enthusiasm to share the best and less travelled parts of Mauritius with us made for a very memorable couple days. She is focused on providing high-quality experiences for us with attention to detail and excellent communication. We always felt that we were in good hands. Jenny genuinely wanted us to get the most out of our short stay in Mauritius. She was flexible to ensure that the itinerary matched our interests. This included extending the end of day so we all could spend time with her pal and assistant guide, Roxy 🐕! We are so happy to have chosen Mauritius Adventours! — with Mauritius Adventours.

We had an absolutely incredible time with Jenny, hiking the Black River Gorges Peak (highest peak in Mauritius), visiting the gigantic vines/fern gardens and visiting the Grand Bassin Hindu Sacred Lake. Mauritius Adventours made this trip super easy and memorable for us. From the ease of booking to their amazing clear communication, they already have eased your mind. Jenny was welcoming, kind, incredibly knowledgeable and made you feel safe the entire time. From her preparedness to her skilful driving, we knew we chose the right tour company. The hike was stunning! The trail was a mix of dirt, tree roots and rocks- so some experience hiking would be helpful. There are ropes towards the summit to help you through the short steep portion to the top. Did I mention the breathtaking views??? Very rewarding hike and Jenny was incredibly helpful and encouraging throughout. The Grand Bassin Hindu Sacred Lake was beautiful and calming. We took our time exploring and Jenny shared the significance of the site. It was a respectful visit to a sacred place. The statues are impressive to see in person. We saw lots of fish in the lake and met the resident monkeys. At the gardens, a horticulturalist gave us the tour and shared his wealth of knowledge with us. The gardens were relaxing and very interesting. We cannot share enough how wonderful our day was and all the extra efforts Jenny did to make our experience even more memorable. Her personal touches based on learning about us really made this tour extra special. I’m a fan of bats, so Jenny arranged for us to be at a beautiful lookout at sunset, with plenty of bats flying overhead. Her attention to details and helping us to capture the perfect photos just added to our perfect experience. Highly recommend Mauritius Adventours for all your experiences while visiting. We loved our tour so much that we booked a different trip with them for the next day. Thank you Jenny and the team Mauritius Adventours!

En lune de miel à l’île Maurice, nous avons choisi @Mauritius Adventours pour partir à la découverte du Sud Sauvage, et quelle expérience inoubliable ! Un immense merci à Jay et à Jenny pour cette journée absolument magique passée en compagnie des meilleurs guides de toute l’île ❤ De la plage secrète à la piscine naturelle, en passant par les cascades spectaculaires, chaque étape nous a émerveillés.

Les photos et vidéos réalisées pendant l’excursion sont magnifiques et resteront des souvenirs précieux de cette aventure. Nous recommandons vivement de choisir cette option ! Et bien sûr, comment ne pas mentionner la douce Roxy, la petite chienne randonneuse, qui nous a accompagnés tout au long du parcours et qui restera à jamais dans nos cœurs. Nous qui aimons tant les chiens, nous étions comblés ! Merci encore pour cette journée exceptionnelle, riche en émotions, en rires et en découvertes.

I booked the Wild South Tour with Mauritius Adventours, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Even as someone originally from Mauritius, I was amazed! Prior to booking, I did my research and all reviews pointed to Mauritius Adventours and I can 100% say that they are true.I never felt rushed. We were so amazed and wanted to keep exploring. It turned into a 9-hour day tour, and Jenny didn’t look at her watch even once. Jenny took us to hidden locations I had never seen before. She is professional, safety-focused, and multilingual, speaking five languages! She checked the weather, did a safety pre-assessment, and carried a full safety kit and equipment the whole time. As a U.S. Navy, I appreciated her attention to detail and organization prior, during and after the tour. We hiked along coastal cliffs, swam at waterfalls, at a secret beach and ended the day watching the waves crash inside a coastal cave. It was absolutely stunning! During the hike, we also met Roxy, her dog! Roxy hikes, climbs, and swims right alongside us. It was simply incredible. Roxy made the experience more memorable and even safer 😂 If you want an authentic, safe, and nature-filled adventure in Mauritius, book with Mauritius Adventours. They truly dare to be different!

I’ve come to Mauritius on multiple occasions, but this was by far the most unique and memorable experience I’ve had. The Wild South tour took me off the beaten path to a secret beach, hidden waterfalls, and a stunning rock pool where I could swim and relax away from the crowds. Jenny and Jay made us feel safe and cared for the entire time, while also sharing fascinating insights about the island. The small group size and personal attention made it feel like a private adventure. I also really appreciated that they brought life vests, which was such a relief.On top of that, Jenny customized the tour for me with a stop in a small town to see the red handkerchief island. What stood out is that if they can make something happen, they will.I’ll definitely book with @Mauritius Adventours again!

We had a fantastic day! The secret beach was a definite highlight - we had it to ourselves. The scramble to the rock pool was worth it, with exciting waves at the pool. Lunch was delicious! Thanks Jenny for sharing your island with us!

We did both the Central Wilderness Adventure and the Wild South Mauritius Adventure with Mauritius Adventures, and I have to say — they were fantastic! Starting with Jay and Jenny: they were absolutely wonderful. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable about the island and the individual walks, but they’re also so friendly that it genuinely felt like we were out exploring with friends. Their communication was excellent, always checking that the weather was suitable for the walks and offering flexibility to make sure we got the very best experience possible. Central Wilderness Adventure This was the first tour we did — and simply put, it was spectacular. Some of the paths and routes might be a little challenging for some, but don’t let that put you off. Jay and Jenny are always there to lend a helping hand if needed, and the visual rewards more than make up for the effort. Stunning waterfalls cascade into pools below — it’s like something out of a movie. After the hike, we enjoyed a lovely meal at a local restaurant just a short drive away. It’s the kind of hidden gem you'd be unlikely to discover on your own, and we were so glad to have experienced it, thanks to Jay and Jenny’s guidance. With lunch digested, we headed off on a short drive to a peaceful forested area for a gentle, mindful walk — a quiet, relaxing moment that felt grounding and serene. Finally, we rounded off the trip with a visit to the Grand Bassin temple. When we arrived, there was a light haze in the air from the cloud cover, and it actually added to the atmosphere. The giant statues slowly emerging from the mist was a truly memorable sight — we felt privileged to have witnessed it. Wild South Mauritius Adventure The second tour was the Wild South Mauritius Adventure — a slightly easier walk, but no less enjoyable. Once again, Jay made sure the weather was perfect for the trip. He genuinely has your best interests at heart and clearly wants you to get the most from the experience. This walk included amazing rock pools to take a refreshing dip in, as well as a hidden waterfall where we enjoyed another welcome swim. Afterward, a short drive took us to another fantastic local restaurant for lunch and a chat with the other couple we were walking with. The day ended with a visit to a beautiful, expansive beach — the perfect way to close out the adventure. All in all, it's clear Jay and Jenny truly love what they do. They’re incredibly friendly, passionate, and professional. For us, it honestly felt like taking a guided tour with good friends. Thank you both — we had an unforgettable experience! Spencer & Joanne

Myself, husband and twin girls (age 8 ) had the absolute pleasure of doing the central wilderness tour with Mauritius Adventours last week. It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Jenny was so helpful with booking and making sure we had the right equipment and Jay our guide was just fantastic with the girls making sure they were safe above all else. He patiently guided them down 5 of the waterfalls stopping along the way to explore the surrounding, we never felt rushed, and very safe. Jay also takes a fantastic photo to well worth getting the photography package also. We had fish nibble away the dead skin on our feet and found monkeys in the jungle. The girls had a blast and it was one of our favourite day of the holiday. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

If you’re looking for a fun day out that doesn’t just feel like another a busy tourist attraction I can’t recommend the wild south tour highly enough! The deserted beaches and secret waterfalls are just the most beautiful backdrop for photos Mauritius Adventours double up as professional photographers too! Our girls loved dressing up as pirates and there was even costumes for us parents too! what a fun way to capture a family photo. 10 out of 10 from us!

I did the South Tour and 5 islands tour and both were brilliant. Great communication throughout they even helped me to find a dog charity to assist with a poorly dog in another part of the island. Loved meeting Roxy dog she's lovely and I hope she continues to enjoys chicken for many more years 😊 Thank you Jenny and Jay I had a great time. It's been a cultural experience i will never forget

If you’re looking for a different, adventurous trip, then this is it. The Wild South tour with Mauritius Adventours is a jam packed day full of adventure ! Secret beach, waterfalls & rock pool. Jay, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable & takes you to places you wouldn’t find on your own. I totally recommend for a great day exploring the south of the island.

Would recommend Mauritius Adventours if you are looking for 1) some really great photos that capture a special holiday 2) a more adventurous hike with a bit of rock climbing which focuses on safety. Two very different day, both great memories.

Thank you Jay and Jenny from Mauritius adventours for the amazing wild south tour.I booked with Jenny who always kept in touch and was responsive to every query. The best aspect was their attention to detail and focus on safety. We postponed the tour to a different day because the weather wasn’t perfect on Jennys advice. Our guide Jay was attentive and thoughtful. We really liked the safety aspect as this was an adventure trip and he kept an eye on everything. We got an amazing family experience with some breathtaking views of the South Island and lifelong memories in the photos that we got Jay to take. Overall, we highly recommend Mauritius Adventours for an authentic experience by professionally trained guides.

Wild South Mauritius Adventour: Caves, Waterfalls and A Rock PoolSouillacEpic Mountain1031258682Hello everyone,We just came back from a fantastic holiday trip to Mauritius. We stayed in Flic en Flac and rented a car to move around the island. We were able to visit most of the tourist locations and beaches on our own, it's very convenient and gave us a lot of freedom to decide what to do depending on the changing weather. Turned out to be the best decision.On top of that, we wanted a taste of adventure and booked several tours with Mauritius Adventours.We experienced the 5 islands, discovered the wild south and a truly special hike to the "Epic Mountain". Each activity was amazing, we can't thank Jenny, Jay and Nitish enough for their outstanding organization. They were caring about everything, adapting the tours when needed depending on the environment and weather. During the most technical challenges, they supervised everything smoothly, giving us enough safety and trust to enjoy the experience.Highly recommended!

🌄 Le Morne Adventure with Mauritius Aventours – A Honeymoon Highlight We had the most incredible experience hiking Le Morne Brabant with Mauritius Aventours, and we truly cannot imagine doing it without them. It was a major highlight of our honeymoon. Our guide, Nitish, was exceptional – calm, encouraging, and quietly confident throughout. Thanks to his care and experience, we not only made it to the top but also tackled the rock-climbing section safely (something we never thought we could do!). He’s a trained nurse and an inspiring person, having built a career from humble beginnings and now helping shape this amazing company alongside a passionate team. What sets Mauritius Aventours apart is their professionalism and care: • ✅ Small group sizes (max 6 people) – We were lucky to go just the two of us during a quieter season, but this thoughtful cap is clearly about safety and connection. • ✅ Proper pacing – No rushing, just a mindful and steady climb, with breaks and encouragement as needed. • ✅ Safety first – They always check the weather beforehand and their guides are trained in first aid, climbing, and hiking. We saw others climbing alone or in huge groups with little guidance – some were rushing up the mountain like it was a race, which felt unsafe and disconnected from the incredible landscape. With Aventours, the focus was on enjoying the journey as well as the achievement. And wow – the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. Nitish also took stunning photos of us that we’ll treasure forever. 💡 They have some exciting new ideas for future adventures in the works – watch this space! We couldn’t recommend Mauritius Aventours more highly. Jenny and the team are just amazing! If you’re considering Le Morne or any other guided experience in Mauritius, you’ll be in safe, caring, and deeply knowledgeable hands. Ruth & Nigel xx

Une MAGNIFIQUE EXPERIENCE avec de l'agence "Mauritius Adventours". Jenny a organisé notre sortie à la carte, très attentive/informée des prévisions météorologiques et de nos souhaits. Ce fut une magnifique sortie aux côtés de Nitish, notre guide du jour, qui nous a déniché des petits coins secrets, dans le Sud Sauvage de l'Ile ! Nous nous sommes régalées de cette sortie entre maman et fille, à la découverte des trésors cachés de Maurice !! Nitish a été super attentionné, attentif à notre bien-être, à notre sécurité et afin que nous passions de super moments ! Son professionnalisme en tant que guide mais aussi en tant que photographe hors pair font de lui un EXPERT !! Des souvenirs qui restent gravés en nous pour la VIE...dans nos coeurs, nos mémoires et avec de merveilleuses photos à la clé. On reviendra à l’ile Maurice et on reviendra faire des sorties avec Mauritius Adventure…c’est certain !! Merci Jenny, Merci Nitish...Bons baisers depuis la Suisse

We feasted on this outing between mom and daughter💞, discovering the hidden treasures of Mauritius 💎!! Nitish was super attentive, attentive to our well-being, our safety and so that we had a great time! His professionalism as a guide but also as an outstanding photographer make him an EXPERT🏆!! Memories that remain etched in us for LIFE...in our hearts, our memories and with wonderful photos in the key.

Nous avons choisi de faire la visite des 5 îles avec Mauritius Adventours. Cette sortie fut extraordinaire qui nous a permis de voir l’île Maurice depuis la barrière de corail. Quelle beauté! Un superbe panorama qui montre l’île Maurice sous une forme splendide, sauvage et majestueuse. Notre skipper Joey a fortement contribué à cette magnifique journée alternant musique douce en début d’excursion et d’ambiance accompagnant notre traversée du lagon, alternant vitesse et temps calme, dans un souci constant de nous faire plaisir: singes, tortue, snorkling, cascade…tout était au rendez-vous pour passer une journée magnifique.

We had an unforgettable experience on the North Nature Tour with Mauritius Adventours! From start to finish, the day was perfectly planned and full of incredible sights. We started with snorkelling and then a scenic hike up a mountain, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking — definitely one of the highlights of our trip. After working up an appetite, we enjoyed a delicious lunch, and then finished the day with a visit to a stunning waterfall, where we had time to relax and soak in nature. What made the experience even more special was how friendly and welcoming our guides Jenny and Nitish were. It honestly felt like we were spending the day with good friends rather than on a tour. We would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of Mauritius in a fun, active, and relaxed way. We also experienced their ‘Wild South Tour’ with Jai and had a fantastic experience that day too. Can’t wait to join another tour with them in the future!

Incredible Experience with Mauritius Adventours – Wild South TourOur day on the Wild South Tour with Mauritius Adventours was simply amazing! Every stop felt like discovering a hidden gem.We began at a secret, secluded beach that looked straight out of a postcard — peaceful, pristine, and completely unspoiled. Then we enjoyed a delicious lunch before heading to the most magical rock pools, where we could swim and cool off in crystal-clear water. The adventure continued with visits to two breathtaking waterfalls, each one offering a unique and beautiful view of Mauritius’ wild south.Spending the day with our guide Jay was such a pleasure — he was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.We’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the untouched beauty of Mauritius in the most memorable way possible.

We chose to visit the 5 islands with Mauritius Adventours. This trip was extraordinary which allowed us to see Mauritius from the coral reef. What a beauty! A superb panorama that shows Mauritius in a splendid, wild and majestic form. Our skipper Joey contributed greatly to this magnificent day alternating soft music at the beginning of the excursion and Mood accompanying our crossing of the lagoon, alternating speed and calm time, in a constant concern to please us: monkeys, turtle, snorkling, waterfall... everything was at the rendezvous to spend a beautiful day.

Hi - I want to share how fantastic our hike up Le Morne Brabant was, with Mauritius Adventours. It was amazing. I have read a lot about it whether to use a guide or not and I’m so glad we did. Nitish was brilliant! So experienced. Some of the climb up is seriously tricky and he showed us where to find the best routes. I slipped a few times coming down and he saved me! The views at the top were sensational- it was a real once in a lifetime experience. I’m so glad we did it and want to thank Nitish for being awesome and Jenny for all her help organising it. Such a brilliant day and my sons (15,18) said it was the best day of the holiday for them, too.

Accompanied by Jenny, our passionate and attentive guide, we were able to discover some local treasures (secret beaches, natural pool) off the beaten track.

Last week my son and I had the pleasure of going on Mauritius Adventours' Central Wilderness Tour. It was a fantastic day out with our guides Jenny and Nitish from start to finish. We hiked four of the seven Tamarind waterfalls and even had a swim in one of them. The views of the National Park were spectacular. It was then on to a lovely local lunch, before a walk in the National Arboretum (which included a talk on plants from the head gardener). We then finished at the Grand Bassin Temple and Volcanic Lake with it's spectacular sacred statues. Jenny and Nitish's expertise and local knowledge was first class, as was their company. The photos and videos they took for us to remember the day were wonderful and greatly appreciated too. Jenny's communication before the tour was also brilliant.

We did a very funny and exciting Tour with Mauritius Adventours this week. Our Guides Nitish and Jenny did such a great Job and we will remember forever about this experience!! We first went to a waterfall in the middle of nowhere and could go for swimming in there. The next stop was a secret beach, completely alone for us and we could enjoy a Lot of big waves and white Sand. Last Stop was the exciting hike at the coast to the rock pool, there we could feed little fishes and enjoy the water. Every Stop of the Journey was a little piece of Paradise - PS fresh sugar canes are delicious!
