Rochester Waterfall

Magnificaent to Behold

The unique Rochester Falls are regarded as the widest waterfalls in Mauritius. The area they are located in is isolated and wild, with thick green vegetation lining the surrounding cliff edges. The bizarre rock formations in the area are almost as magnificent to behold as the falls themselves. As wild as the area is, it is still an ideal venue for picnics as well as swimming.

Grand River South East

Spectacular Waterfall

The falls at the Grand River South East is a very popular natural attraction found on the southeastern coast of the island. A visit to these falls is often part of a trip to the Ile aux Cerfs, a beautiful privately owned island located in the largest lagoon on Mauritius.

Cascade Minissy

Best Waterfall for Beginners

Minissy waterfall is great for those looking for a quick and easy hike in Mauritius. The hiking trail is relatively flat and easy to follow, making it one of the best Mauritius waterfalls for beginner hikers.

Eau Bleue Waterfall

This Waterfall is Stunning

Eau Bleue is very well hidden in a valley behind trees near the town of Curepipe.  The only way to reach it is via a climb down a vertical embankment.  As I clung on to tree roots I understood why our lovely driver was reluctant to stop at Eau Bleue.  It was an adventure in itself getting down to the falls, you wouldn’t even know it was there from the road.  There was no one else at Eau Bleue, I presume it’s either not that well-known or people are put off by the climb down; which is totally understandable.  This waterfall is stunning with the bluest water I have ever seen.  If you do want to find it, please take care and wear sensible footwear; flip-flops are a definite no for the climb.

500 Pied Waterfall

A Hidden Gem

Cascade de 500 Pieds (also known as Cascade des Galets), is another one of Mauritius's many hidden gems. You can access the waterfall via a well-paved trail leading from the Alexandra Falls viewpoint.

Mare Aux Joncs

A Great Scenic Attraction

Mare Aux Joncs is situated in the Black River Gorges National Park whose entrance location is very local to where I live. The park itself is a great place to trek through and has a number of paths to enjoy. Access to Mare Aux Joncs waterfall is via a very winding trail that will take you across streams on several occasions and can be very difficult in places, especially if the ground is wet from recent rainfall. After 4.5 km you will reach your destination, which is a wall of water to which you will be standing at the base by its lagoon

Alexander Waterfall

700 Meters Above Sea Level

The Black River Gorges National Park is home to the Alexandra Falls which are serenely enhanced by the surrounding flora and fauna indigenous to the area that really help you connect with nature. There are refreshments available close by at the Alexandra Falls Viewpoint, though there are also possibilities to get away from the crowd and seek out a more tranquil spot to take in the incredible view.
