Hiking & Trekking

For those who like to earn their views, the island's interior is greener and wilder than the coast suggests. The signature climb is Le Morne Brabant, the UNESCO-listed mountain with a moving history and a staggering lagoon panorama from the top. The Black River Gorges National Park protects the last native forest and rarest birds, with trails from gentle walks to half-day treks, and Tamarin Falls rewards a few hours' effort with seven cascades and pools to swim in. The tougher routes need a local guide and an early, cooler start, both of which Krishna will arrange.
