Overview

  • Tour Type:Nature & Wildlife Attraction
  • TripAdvisor Rating:4.4 / 5
  • Location:Black River Gorges, Mauritius
Black River Gorges National Park protects about 6,574 hectares of native forest in the south-west highlands, the largest national park in Mauritius. Hiking trails lead through forest and gorges to viewpoints and waterfalls, and the park is home to rare birds found only on the island, such as the pink pigeon, the echo parakeet and the Mauritius kestrel. Black River Peak, the highest point of the island at 828 metres, is inside the park. Short viewpoints suit all visitors, while the longer trails are for keen hikers.
