Black River, Pilgrim and La Grotte trails. - A lovely morning walk with the cheerful and knowledgeable Jeremie and Regine. The trails were slippery in places after overnight rain so good footwear was needed. The views from Plateau Resmousse were good. The walk back was punctuated by a refreshing wild swim in the Black River. Saw Pink Pigeon, Echo Parakeets, flying foxes, macaque and more.

Beautiful walk amongst the nature of Black River Gorges - Led by the fantastic Matthieu a wonderful half day spent exploring Black River gorge. A lovely walk following the Pilgrim Trail in the Black Rover gorge. A chance to take in the wonderful scenery as you ascend the side of the gorge (steep path but manageable by even casual walkers) with stops to take in the breathtaking views that appear as the canopy thins. Pink pigeons, macaques and plenty of flora to enjoy. What made the trip was Matthieu. As with our trip to Le Morne we think we were really lucky to have him. He ensured our group of five had sufficient breaks where needed, that we caught glimpses of the wildlife when it appeared (the mass flight of fruit bats was something to behold). Having a guide means you tap into local knowledge of flora and fauna and it’s invaluable. A great experience!

Hiking in Black Gorge - We had a wonderful tour with Yudish. He was very thoughtful and considerate to us (two ladies in the prime of our lives). We may have been at the back of the climb but he waited, encouraged and told us the best routes. We would certainly recommend him as a guide.

Exhilarating hike with friendly, knowledgeable guide - We really enjoyed our hike with Gilles. The trail was demanding in places but always enjoyable and with plenty of breaks for drinks, snacks and photos. He speaks excellent English and was happy to share his knowledge and answer our questions around local wildlife, ecology and language. The booking process was also friendly and efficient. All in all highly recommended.

Beautiful hike with Bea - A bit of a physical hike that follows the path of the pilgrims through the forest (it goes up, but the panorama above is fantastic). Great explanations from our Bea Guide on the forest, fauna and flora of this natural park. We really liked it!

Beautiful forest hike - The guide was so patient and helpful! Just be aware that it is an extremely steep climb on rocks and trees and tree roots. Unfortunately no waterfall...
