1.Tamarind Falls Guided Hike with Swim and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 105 reviews · 5h 30m · from $87Our pick

Meet Prakash, Andy, or another licensed guide at Henrietta Bus Station for a 4 to 5-hour hike through Tamarind Falls. Expect steep, slippery sections, optional jumps, natural-pool swims, local vegetarian food, and views over the Black River Gorges area.

“I really enjoyed this - I love hiking anyway. Absolute stunning scenery, but I’d suggest it would be quite difficult without a guide. Prakash and Andy were great - I felt the group were in safe hands and they shared lots of information about the flora and fauna. Andy deserves a special shoutout for capturing all the angles too! All in all - well organised, very enjoyable and worth the price in my opinion!”

4.Guided Hike to the Summit of Le Morne Brabant (UNESCO)

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 9 reviews · from $59

Join Le Morne residents on a guided ascent of UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant. You’ll follow forested paths, tackle moderate rocky climbs with help from a certified guide such as Luke, and reach sweeping lagoon views. The first section is easy; the summit route needs fitness and a head for heights.

“Beautiful viewpoints, but not really a hike. Due to an accident, only the first half of Le Morne was open, so we couldn't reach the top. The first part is nothing more than a mountain walk, which can easily be done without a guide.”
