Tamarind Falls

Our rating: 6.00
2025-07-28
An interesting and rather difficult to reach place in Mauritius. It is a group of waterfalls, seven large ones and several smaller ones, cascading down a rocky gorge surrounded by tropical forest. The total height of all the waterfalls is over 300 metres. Many of the waterfalls form natural pools where you can swim.

You can get here by car and park somewhere around here: -20.354194, 57.466611. There are not many places to park, so it is best to arrive early. Some locals offer to be your guide. It is up to you to decide whether you need a guide if you are familiar with maps.me. Walk across the fields and somewhere around -20.351889, 57.464472, the descent through the forest begins.

The descent is difficult, but if you don't rush, it is quite passable. We descended with our 5-year-old daughter and had no problems, but you need to constantly secure the child. We only descended to the first waterfall; rain was forecast further on, so we decided not to risk it and climbed back up. It can be quite dangerous there in rain or wet weather.

In the next photo taken from a drone, you can see that rock climbers also come here. If we had gone further, we would have passed under the first waterfall; the trail goes right behind it.

There was not much water in July, but in months with higher water levels, this area can be more dangerous.

We found someone's watch and placed it on a rock there.
