"Highly recommend using Local Spirit for the wealth of experience and knowledge. You’ll be in safe hands! We had an amazing private hike/climb up Le Morne with Christopher! We felt very safe with him at the trickier parts and he has such a wonderful positive energy. The views at the top are breathtaking. He also explained the huge history behind the mountain which was so interesting and important to know when climbing it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christopher!"

"I recently took my 8 and 6 year old daughters on the hike with Allan from Le Morne and it was an amazing experience! The hike was easy and perfect for my kids, but what really made it special was Allan's passion for the area and his knowledge about the plants and culture. It felt like we were walking with a friend and not just a guide. If you're looking for an expert guide who will make your family trip extra special, Allan is the king! A friendly and knowledgeable guide who had us feeling like a part of the Mauritan culture - highly recommended for families!"

"We were hesitating to include a visit to the capital of Mauritius in our trip, but this tour with Allan completely changed our minds! He took us on a journey through the busy streets of Port-Louis and introduced us to the most delicious street food we've ever tasted! It was a fantastic experience, and we wouldn't have found these hidden gems without his help. Not only that, but Allan is full of wonderful stories that really enriched our journey. We would absolutely recommend this tour for any couple wanting to explore Mauritius' culinary culture! 😋”

"Our team recently visited the Black River Gorges National Park in Mauritius and it was an incredible experience! Christopher was an amazing tour guide and took us through the beautiful lush valley and breathtaking views. We were even lucky enough to see giant fruit bats flying over the valley! It was the perfect incentive for our team and definitely worth it! 🤩"

"My friends and I recently completed the seven waterfalls hike with the help of Clifford and his team. Although we only did four of the seven waterfalls, the scenery was absolutely stunning! Clifford was the best guide to have for this hike. He was so caring, looking out for all of us, and making sure we were all safe and having a great time. I would highly recommend Clifford and his team for anyone looking for an amazing outdoor adventure! 🤩 🤩 🤩. Your guys are the best!”

"If you ask us, the south of Mauritius is definitely the most beautiful side, so rugged and untouched! We were particularly blown away by the waterfall in the middle of the jungle – it was breathtaking 🤩. Thanks again to Local Spirit for showing us this side of Mauritius! 🙏

"This experience made our day! Our family had a wonderful time with Franceska and her decorative crafting experience. It was pouring rain outside, but Franceska was the shining sun of our day-- so positive and enthusiastic! She is a fisher woman and began this activity to make her own money-- it was amazing to see how much can be done with so little. We all had a blast, and this was a truly special experience that our family will never forget. 🤩”
