Hike 7 Waterfalls in Henrietta: Guided Tour with Lunch

Walk into five waterfalls on a single day with a guide who knows the terrain.

A six-hour guided hike through Henrietta's seven waterfalls in Mauritius, where you trek to five accessible falls with a certified local guide, then visit the Sacred Lake and Alexandra Falls. The tour includes private air-conditioned pickup and drop-off, light lunch, water, and a small group capped at fifteen for safety. Guides speak English and French. Not suitable for pregnant travelers. Moderate fitness required.

The experience

The hike starts at Henrietta, where your certified Mauritian guide leads you through five of the seven waterfalls accessible on foot. The other two falls sit at the base of the fifth waterfall but require more effort and pre-arrangement with proper equipment. Most travelers stick with the five. Your guide stays with you the whole way, pointing out the route and pacing the group so everyone keeps up. Light snacks and a simple lunch (roti or dhalpuri with a local touch) come partway through, and water bottles are yours for the full day.

After the waterfall hike, you drive twenty minutes to the Sacred Lake (Ganga Talao), then continue to Alexandra Falls and the Black River Gorges. The private air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your accommodation and brings you back at the end, so you don't arrange separate transport. Your driver is a licensed professional from Beguided Tours, and the whole package (entry fees, taxes, the guide, the vehicle, the meal) is included in one price. Groups stay small for safety and comfort, capped at fifteen people.

Bring proper hiking shoes, a bag for your gear, and clothes you don't mind getting wet. The hike is rated easy compared to other Mauritius trails, but it does demand moderate fitness and the ability to walk on uneven ground for several hours. Weather and guide availability can shift the exact timing, so confirm details when you book.
