Discover the wild and untamed beauty of Mauritius on a guided coastal hike at Gris Gris, led by a friendly local. Far from the island’s bustling resorts, Gris Gris is famous for its rugged cliffs, powerful waves, and unspoiled scenery that reveal the raw side of Mauritius. Begin your walk along scenic trails that hug the southern coastline, where the turquoise sea crashes dramatically against black volcanic rocks. As you make your way through grassy paths and hidden viewpoints, hear stories about local traditions, plants, and the cultural importance of this region. Visit the famous “La Roche qui Pleure” (The Crying Rock), where waves endlessly pound the cliffs, creating the illusion of a rock that weeps. Discover secret spots known only to locals, with breathtaking panoramic views that few tourists ever see. This easy-to-moderate hike is not only about nature but also about connecting with the soul of Mauritius through the eyes of someone who calls it home. By the end of the experience, you’ll understand why Gris Gris is one of the island’s most beloved coastal treasures.
