Hey there – we’re Local Spirit!

Local Spirit?

It all started in 2014, when a Mauritian (Hi, I’m Allan!) and a Belgian 

(Hello, I’m Heidi!) met by chance in a small local bar—and started dreaming.

Allan grew up in Le Morne Village, where his grandfather spent his life working on Le Morne Brabant under the French colony. 

As a boy, Allan was fascinated by his grandfather’s stories—tales of the mountain, the past, and the power of medicinal plants

These weren’t just stories; they were lessons, passed down with care.

Heidi, touched by the island’s natural beauty and the warmth of its people, instantly connected with Allan’s vision: to share the real Mauritius—honest, rooted, alive.

And so, Local Spirit was born.

We invite you to look beyond the postcard. Soak up the sun, yes—but also explore, feel, and connect with the deeper heartbeat of Mauritius.

We are a small local company, and we are proud to show visitors the ‘real’ Mauritius

That’s why we invite you to experience the real Mauritius.

Hike with our passionate local guides!

Climb the stunning Tamarind Falls, explore the wild Black River Gorges, or witness sunrise atop Le Morne Brabant, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Prefer sunset? Join our apéritif hike, where golden light, island snacks, and peace await at the summit.

With Local Spirit, you don’t just visit Mauritius—you connect with it.And when you leave, a piece of the island stays with you
