Discovery Trail

Discovery Trail

The Discovery Trail is our most popular trail. Make the most of these 2 hours all-inclusive tour of Heritage Nature Reserve and indulge in the rich diversity of landscape and wildlife. There are two routes to choose from, namely the Dalsing plains; home to an abundant Mauritius wildlife, and Sentier Goyaves; diving into the amazing Hirondelles Waterfall.

Amongst all the great activities in Mauritius to choose from, the Discovery Trail is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the Ecotourism in Mauritius.

Sentiers Goyaves

Sentier Goyaves is best suited for adventurous and seasoned drivers due to its steeper slopes. As you go deeper into the nature reserve, you will make contact with a vast vegetation and endemic bird species such as; the Pink Pigeon, the Mauritius Black Bulbul or the Mauritius Kestrel. The most memorable part of this route is the spectacular view over the Domaine de Bel Ombre , some 2500 hectares in the south-west of Mauritius, stretching from the mountains to the turquoise lagoon. As an additional bonus, you can take a tip into the Hirondelles Waterfall.

Dalsing Plains

Once you have been through Sentiers Goyaves, set off on a fairly flat path through the sugar cane fields. Further on, drive past a fish pond towards the fascinating ruins of Heritage’s old sugar mill situated at the brink of Dalsing plains. It is home to a various wild animals in Mauritius. Explorers will be mesmerized by panoramic view over the nature reserve and the coastline. Finally, only a few steps away, our bikers can take a refreshing dip in the natural rock pool of L’Exemple Waterfall, before heading back.
