Mauritius · LE MORNE TOURS
Good le morne tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 13 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Climb Le Morne Brabant before sunrise with a certified guide such as Kevin, Eric, Ravi, or Matt. Expect rainforest, endemic plants and birds, four rocky scrambling sections, Mauritian history, snacks, summit photos, and wide sea views from 470 meters.
“Kevin is a Great Guide with Lots of experience. Can highly recommend the 5am tour to Le Mourne with him.”
Hike Le Morne Brabant’s Slave Route with a certified local guide from Le Morne village. Expect a gentle first section, then steep rocky climbing to dramatic lagoon views. Guides such as Christopher, Gino, and Allen share local history, plants, and safety tips in English or French.
“Absolutely fantastic. A little challenging in places but with guides totally manageable. Our guides were very entertaining throughout. Highly recommend!”
Meet Ben and his skipper near Emba Filao restaurant for a private two-hour trip to spot spinner dolphins, snorkel in the lagoon, and perhaps see turtles. Early departures help you avoid crowded waters, while the captain explains dolphin behavior and keeps the boat at a respectful distance.
“Amazing experience! Ben & Stefano were fantastic guides. The trip was one of the highlights of our stay. It is definitely worth going early in the morning and on a small, private, more ecological tour like this. It was calm, peaceful and the perfect length. We swam with dolphins, snorkelled and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. A perfect trip. Thank you Ben and Stefano!”
Join Vanessa for a four-hour Le Morne Brabant hike in a private group of two to six. Expect a steady climb, a hands-on rocky scramble, 360-degree views, local history, plant and wildlife stories, a healthy snack, and more than 50 photos.
“Had an amazing experience! Vanessa was a perfect guide and made us feel safe all the way!”
Meet Captain Navy, Miguel, Tyler, or another Lydia Boat Mauritius guide at Le Morne Public Beach for a private dolphin trip. Watch wild pods, enter the water only with guidance, and add snorkeling or turtle spotting when conditions allow.
“It was great. That the guide tried to get us as close to the dolphins as possible.”
Climb Le Morne Mountain with a private guide such as Shah or Stephano, following forest paths and steep scrambling sections to wide views of Mauritius, beaches, and sea. This four-hour, eco-friendly hike includes history, drinks, and guide-taken photos, but requires proper shoes, water, and steady footing.
“The view was amazing. Huge thank you to Shah, he‘s such a sympathatic and funny guy, really felt safe with him.”
Meet a certified local guide from Le Morne village for a history-filled hike up UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant. Walk forest trails, tackle moderate rocky climbs, and reach panoramic views over the turquoise lagoon. Guides speak English and French, with Luke among the team.
“The guide was awesome for the hiking trail and we enjoyed it a lot.”
Meet Navy and the Lydia Boat Mauritius team at Le Morne Public Beach for a private full-day cruise. Watch wild dolphins, swim with a guide, snorkel with provided gear, admire Le Morne, visit Crystal Rock and Bénitiers Island, and enjoy seafood, drinks, oysters, and sea urchins.
“The best trip I could ask for. Do not hesitate to book this trip. Lydia boat were amazing from start to finish. It really is a once in a life time experience. From start to finish the trip was incredible. We swam with dolphins and sea turtles, snorkelled in a tropical aquarium and to top it off had the best seafood lunch on a beautiful island. We had freshly caught oysters and sea urchins as well as prawns and lobster. Book this trip it will not disappoint.”
Set out from Le Havanah Boat near Le Morne at 06:30 or 07:00 for a private dolphin-watching and snorkeling trip. Samuel and Kevin may lead your outing, with sunrise views, lagoon swimming, marine life, and a promised onboard breakfast, though one booking received no food or water.
“Le capitaine et son second nous ont fait profiter de leur expérience et avons ainsi trouvé très rapidement les dauphins Avons également fait du snorkeling, puis trouvé 1 tortue Une expérience incroyable en termes de rencontre avec les animaux En revanche, le descriptif de l'activité est erroné car nous n'avons pas eu de petit déjeuner, même pas d'eau (alors que c'est supposé être un point fort de l'excursion, avis à ceux qui comptait se restaurer à bord !)”
Join a private three-hour sunset hike on Le Morne with a French- or English-speaking local guide. Walk to a quiet viewpoint, hear stories of the mountain, then enjoy Mauritian snacks, beer, water, and sparkling wine as the lagoon turns gold.
“incredible experience, really enjoyed our hike and also the romantic private experience was very well setup and looked amazing”
