The Experience

Before You Go

Book a morning slot

Morning departures are cooler and usually drier, which keeps the signature zipline and quad tracks in better condition.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect ankles on the quad trail and give secure footing on wet platforms.

Bring a small daypack with water

Hydration is important between activities — there are breaks but carrying a refillable bottle is easier than relying on vendors.

Secure loose gear

Use tether points or the operator’s storage — helmets and harnesses move fast, and loose phones can be damaged or lost.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk short trails below the Nepalese bridge for close-up views of eroded laterite walls
  • Ask guides about nearby lookout points that are seldom crowded for sunrise photos

Wildlife

  • Mauritian deer (feral)
  • native tropical birds like the Mauritius bulbul

Conservation Note

The park operates as a managed-protected area—stick to marked trails, avoid feeding wildlife and use provided waste bins to limit impact.

The area reflects Mauritius’s volcanic origin and later agricultural conversion; the park was created to protect steep, colorful terrain while generating sustainable tourism.
