Domaine de Saint Félix

Domaine de Saint Félix offers adventure and outdoor activities in the south of Mauritius, one of Mauritius' growing ecotourism and active experience destinations.

Despite its small size (1,865 km²), Mauritius offers remarkable variety for active travellers — from quad biking on volcanic plateau tracks to zip-lining over gorges, horseback riding through sugar cane fields, and hiking to mountain summits with panoramic ocean views. The central highlands and Black River Gorges National Park are the principal locations for outdoor adventure.

This nature park offers a blend of natural beauty and adventure activities, including hiking and ziplining. Visitors can enjoy the lush greenery and serene atmosphere.

The Black River Gorges National Park — Mauritius' largest protected area at 6,574 hectares — is the focal point for hiking and wildlife. Trails range from easy 2-hour walks to full-day ridge hikes with significant elevation gain. The park protects the island's remaining native forests and rare endemic species including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet, and Mauritius kestrel.

Adventure activities in Mauritius typically run half-day or full-day excursions with transport included from hotels. Booking in advance is recommended during peak season (July–September). Age and fitness restrictions apply for some activities — confirm requirements when booking.

Weather in the mountains can change quickly — light rain gear is advisable for morning activities. Cyclone-risk months are December–March; all outdoor activities are suspended during cyclone warnings.
