Absolutely incredible experience!

The Central Wilderness Adventour was both thrilling and rewarding. The trails were adventurous but manageable, thanks to our expert guide Jay who made us feel safe and engaged throughout. Swimming in the crystal-clear pools was the perfect way to cool off. A must-do for nature lovers and adventure-seekers!

An unforgettable adventour!

The Central Wilderness was a perfect mix of adventure, moss forests, and refreshing waterfalls and swims. Our guide, Jenny, was excellent, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience while sharing interesting facts about the area. Each waterfall was more beautiful than the last! After the hike, we stopped at the volcanic lake with the hindu temple and enjoyed delicious authentic local food. Absolutely recommend this tour for families who love nature and adventure!

Rita from Hungary

Another epic hike with Adventours!

Utterly stunning views, with a free natural spa thrown in. The rockpools were a welcome, refreshing reprieve from the heat. The fish nibbling our feet was a lovely little surprise! We even got to see a monkey minding his own business in the trees. Our guide Vickram was excellent, putting safety first at all times, and very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora. Not to be missed on a trip to Mauritius.
