Mauritius: Le Morne: Intimate Sunrise & Sunset Hike, 1-6 Guests

Since we already knew Vanessa from our Gris Gris hike, we were looking forward all the more to the sunrise climb of Le Morne Brabant. We started early at 5 a.m. from the parking lot at the foot of Le Morne. Part 1 was a normal hike, nothing strenuous or dangerous. Everything is easily doable with headlamps. Vanessa told us a lot about the history of Mauritius, explorers, conquerors, and slaves, as well as their liberation and the special significance of Le Morne. Part 2 of the hike then consisted of climbing passages that were easily doable. However, it was very good to have Vanessa with us, as she knew the route very well. She led us safely and with precise instructions to the summit cross and took perfect care of us at all times. We always felt very safe and it was wonderful and a great experience. Unfortunately, no sun could be seen that morning; it was foggy, but that in itself created a wonderful mystical atmosphere. Vanessa decided to descend early, and once again she had made the right decision. The descent went safely and without any problems. Down at the car, however, it began to pour with rain. Did everything right. We recommend this tour with Vanessa without reservation. She is experienced, takes care of things, and we felt more like we were out with a friend. Thank you very much, Vanessa. We will always fondly remember the time with you. Until next time.

We had an amazing experience hiking Le Morne Brabant, and a big part of that was because of our guide. From the moment we started, Vanessa made us feel comfortable and never once made us feel rushed. She was very patient, friendly, and always made sure both my wife and I are comfortable. We had booked for a private hike. What I appreciated most was that she kept us engaged throughout the hike. She shared interesting stories about the history of Mauritius, explained the significance of Le Morne, and happily answered all our questions. The conversations never felt forced—we ended up talking about all sorts of things and even connected on a personal level, which made the whole experience feel much more genuine. The hike itself is beautiful, but having a guide who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely enjoys what she does made it even more special. If you’re planning to hike Le Morne Brabant, I would absolutely recommend going with her. She turned what could have been just another hike into one of the highlights of our trip to Mauritius.

The tour to Le Morne was fantastic. We set off early so that we could enjoy the sunrise at the summit cross. Vanessa, our guide, was very nice, helpful, and friendly. She told us a lot and paid attention to our safety. We can recommend the tour with Vanessa without any reservations.

From adventure and coaching to the top, avoiding the crowds of tourists, whether at the 7 waterfalls or climbing Le Morne, Vanessa is the ideal guide we needed. Passionate about hiking, she takes us and motivates us to succeed in “small” personal exploits, without risk. We are grateful for that. An exciting and very engaging guide. We wish her all the best and will meet her on our next visit to this beautiful Mauritius! Eve and Estelle

We had an amazing experience on our hike today with Vanessa as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts and stories along the way. Her calm and positive energy made the climb enjoyable and we always felt safe and well supported. We were really impressed by how well she organized the tour and looked after everyone in the group. Thank you, Vanessa, for giving us such a memorable experience on Le Morne. We truly appreciated your passion for the mountain and would highly recommend this tour to anyone! ❤️ Jennifer+Marc

Vanessa did the tour with us alone, so it was very personal and she could supervise us. She is a very competent guide and has always made us feel safe. During the tour she took great photos. Thank you so much!

Beautiful and Vanessa is a perfect guide, caring and knowing Le Morne and its history. We highly recommend

We had the chance to climb Le Morne with Vanessa, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience! Start at 5am, just the two of us, which allowed us to enjoy a totally quiet route, with incredible views throughout the climb. Vanessa is a passionate, very professional guide, and her explanations of the history of Le Morne and Mauritius were as interesting as they were touching. She taught us the right techniques to climb and descend safely, which allowed us to live the experience fully and serenely. We recommend Vanessa with her eyes closed for those who want to experience a unique, authentic and perfectly supervised ascent. Another huge thank you Vanessa! 🙏🏽⛰️✨

Vanessa is an enthusiastic, friendly and smiling guide. Its pace is dynamic and steady, which will suit especially those who are already used to hiking. For beginners, it can be a bit sporty and challenging. Vanessa regularly took pictures during the hike, which leaves us with great memories. Thanks again Vanessa! The start at 04:30 is ideal, as it avoids the crowds as well as the heat of the fast-moving sun. Hiking in itself is a real must do: the view is breathtaking and breathtaking. It’s definitely worth going beyond your fears and out of your comfort zone: the reward at the top is well worth it.

It was an amazing hike! We had the luck of being the only couple booked for the time, and had a wonderful time with Vanessa. She set a very good pace for the climb, showing us all the easy and safe places to use; and was very patient and slow/careful on the descend to make sure we don't slip. It was such a fun experience, filled with nice conversations, great views and the feeling of accomplishment. We recommend booking your hike with Vanessa to make sure you have a very personal and unforgettable experience.
