Incredible view after incredible view. A memorable trail run guided by the very capable and welcoming Gilles. - The early start to meet my guide Gilles at Black River Gorges National Park for a 17km technical trail run was really worth it. The views the whole way were incredible - the sun rising over the mountains, the coast line, the different plants. I’ve run lots back home in the U.K. but never a technical run like this. Gilles was great at ensuring I felt comfortable with the difficult sections and the pace. He also told me lots about the local wildlife and plants. We went up to bench 828 where the 360 degree view was incredible. There were some very muddy sections along the way - I loved it. We saw waterfalls and had river crossings. It had everything. I really enjoyed the experience. Definitely the slowest run I’ve ever done but up there as one of the most enjoyable.

Beautiful! - We hiked the Black River Gorge accompanied by Henri! Hiking to do both for its accessibility (last part climbs a little) and for the landscape it offers as for the views! Our guide Henri completed this hike with a lot of information whether it is about the island or the gorges and still fauna and flora! Extraordinary! Thank you to him for his kindness.

Fantastic hike in nature - Our family of five did the amazing Black River Gorges hike yesterday with Beatrice. Beatrice was a fantastic host - very knowledgeable and gave everyone plenty of time to ask questions, take photos, rest. We took routes we never would have dared take on our own. And we learnt a lot about the flora and fauna of the area. The flying foxes were incredible. Loved the river swim at the end of the hike. Beatrice also suggested other trips and places to visit based on our family’s interests which was very helpful. A wonderful trip. Thank you very much

Hiking with small onions - On our honeymoon in Mauritius, the travel counter put us in touch with Yanature. During this hike, we discovered the National Park with Régine, our guide for the occasion, who accompanied with kindness. The activity is sporty and swimming in the waterfalls at the end of the route is deserved. We recommend Yanature to discover the fauna and forest flora of Mauritius with a sporting dimension.

A great way to start the day - A great way to experience the Black River Gorge National Park. Henri introduced some plants and spices along the way that we would have missed without a Guide. He also pointed out a monkey, a kestrel and the rare pink pigeon. The hike was also a great workout - not for the faint hearted!
