Description

This hike begins with a short health and safety briefing before you follow your local mountaineer to Bain des Négresses Waterfall. The route passes through the Filao forest, where you will learn about the region’s unique flora and fauna.

Cross the River Bain des Négresses to reach the natural pool at Gris Gris, where you can relax and observe colourful fish swimming around you. Experience the waves crashing on the cliffs in this area without coral reefs to buffer the sea.

Next, continue to Mamzelle Waterfall, located within lush green vegetation. You may choose to enjoy a natural massage under the waterfall or simply relax while soaking in the surroundings. Healthy snacks are provided at this stop.

The hike proceeds to La Roche Qui Pleure, noted for its geological rock formations. Observe the powerful waves crashing over the cliffs where the basaltic rocks give the appearance of weeping, which inspired the name 'The Weeping Rock.'

The final destination is Gris Gris Beach, a large green field offering views of dramatic cliffs and an unspoiled landscape before returning to the starting point.
