Had a great time with my family.The staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful.Saw a lot of endemic plants.Met some tortoise on the way up.The view at the top was breathtaking.

We visited the Ebony Forest as part of our Tour of the South and were impressed. Chris drove us up in a jeep and guided us through the conservation efforts and history of Mauritian nature while we were there. Chris was brilliant at answering questions and providing interesting facts. The view at Sublime Point is truly breathtaking and the Jeep tour allows access to everyone unable to manage the hike.

We stumbled across this place on our trip to Seven Coloured Earth and turned out to be the highlight of the whole day. The staff at reception were very helpful and we opted for the self guided hike to the viewpoint. The park was so peaceful and we managed to spot several of the roaming tortoises on the way. Highly recommend!

The views are incredible and the guide Kriss always is so entertaining. We captured lots of memories, like planting our love tree and yes we got a small gift also at the end.

Fantastic experience at Ebony Forest! We went hiking up to Le Morne View Point and it was great; the path was well laid out and safe. The view was out of this world! We wanted to go further, but it was already quite late, so we returned. The next day, we booked a Love Tree Tour and planted an endemic tree. It was such a wonderful experience, topped with a jeep trip to some other parts of the park with walks through the forest (we even saw some endemic animals like geckos and flycatchers!) and Sublime Point Viewpoint, where we had something to drink and eat as part of the Love Tree Package. The museum and shop are also well worth a visit. All of the guides and staff are very friendly and very helpful! We can only recommend this place to everyone who is passionate about nature and wants to support reforestation while enjoying great views and experiencing the endemic fauna and flora.

Ebony is a beautiful forest reserve near the Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark. In fact, being more interested in nature than touristic locations, we decided to visit the geopark only because we had booked a hike in the Ebony forest. To our surprise, the former was more rewarding. Not that the reserve or the hike were not great. But their website had given us higher expectations about the guided tour, especially after our experience at Île aux Aigrettes (details in its review). We thought we would first be taken into the forest by a guide, and then allowed to explore on our own. But there was no one available. So we found a guide after a short hike to the raised walkway. He then gave us a largely rote description (most of which was already on the information boards placed along the walkway), and the rest was more about the procedures rather than the species of birds and animals being saved from the brink of extinction. At the wildlife film room, the screen was blank and the room, empty. The museum had a lot of information but the room was musty because of which we couldn’t spend much time inside. Overall, it was evident that the reserve was established with a vision and a lot of effort went into creating it. But we felt the enthusiasm in running the daily operations is a bit lacking… Our self-guided hike was good though – the view was great; and we saw a Mauritian flying fox, a Mascarene paradise-flycatcher, a couple of giant tortoises (up close in the wild!), and even two tropicbirds in the distance! The trails are marked. Hikers can click a photo of the route map and take the paths they wish to at their own leisure.

Gratitude from z bottom of our hearts! .. D & P

We very much enjoyed the tour thanks to our guide Damien. He was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the ebony forest flora and fauna. He recognised birds by their calls and spotted a number of them for us to see. What Damien told us about the ebony trees was fascinating and it was interesting to feel the weight of the dense ebony compared to other wood. We are very grateful to Damien and his colleagues for protecting the forest and sharing it with visitors.

This was one of a kind experience in life. We had the best time in the silence of a magnificent forest… The staff is absolutely incredible. Special thanks to our guide Krish who took the necessary time to explain to us a lot of things about this ethereal place. The view at the top is the reason why we called Mauritius a paradise… No words will be enough to describe it. Really recommend this jewel! 🫶🏽

We have had the most amazing time at Ebony Forest this morning. We participated in the Love Tree tour, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Chris our guide was excellent, he took great care of us and shared his knowledge and passion for the forest.

Amazing experience and breathtaking views of the reserve..Chris was a great guide and explained every small detail during the tour..this made the experience more satisfying and I suggest to take him as a guide around the Ebony forest..A special mention to Ashvin from Beguided tours for all the arrangements..

Just an amazing place with amazing people who are doing their best to preserve the ebony forest. Soo worth of visit! You can really see and feel how people made so many mistakes in the past which led to extinction of so many species on this small island. So glad to come and meet all this lovely people who are trying to save and bring back to life the forest and all its inhabitants.

We visited Mauritius for our honeymoon and in advance our friends gifted us this tour. We didn´t know what to expect, but included was a short introduction to Ebony Forest, a ride in a jeep, some tasty snacks and drinks, a guided tour through the forest where we saw many different plants and animals and planting our tree was the finishing touch. Our tour guide was Chris, he had profound knowledge about the flora and fauna, as well as the history of Mauritius and was overall a really likeable and humorous person.

Super experience for our Ebony Forest trip. Delightful introduction to destruction of the forest and dodos with artefacts to touch. We then travelled up the mountainside by safari truck and stopped to feed any boulders (tortoises!) that needed to be moved off the truck. Flycatcher canopy walk was interesting but the real treat was Sublime view. We were an intergenerational group of 7 and were lucky to be there with no one else so totally immersed in the stunning views. Delicious lemongrass cordial - in real glasses at the little hut. Fantastic few hours and incredibly good value. Absolute highlight of Mauritius holiday. Don’t forget sun hats, sun screen and mossie spray!

Thanks Chris, It was a great tour, loved to feed the turtle Franklin. You show us a big spider, told a lot off the island en his nature.
