Mauritius Family Zipline Adventure — 7 Lines at Vallée Adventure Park (Chamarel)
Fly across seven family-friendly ziplines in the Chamarel hills and glimpse Mauritius’s dramatic Coloured Earth and waterfalls. This guided, 1.6 km course pairs short platform rests with panoramic views — ideal for kids and first-timers with a moderate fitness requirement.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure footwear
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with good grip — platforms and short approach trails can be muddy and uneven.
Hydrate before you go
Bring a refillable water bottle and drink before your first run; heat and adrenaline dehydrate quickly.
Listen to the guide
Instructors handle harnessing and braking; follow verbal instructions for safe launches and landings.
Book morning slots
Morning sessions are cooler and often less windy, improving visibility of the Coloured Earth and waterfalls.

Conservation Note
Operators encourage minimal-impact practices: stay on platforms, avoid littering, and respect native tree zones where reforestation and native species protection are active initiatives.
The Chamarel area combines volcanic geology and colonial sugar-rum history; the Coloured Earth formed as lava cooled and weathered into variably colored sands that attracted early scientific interest.
