Day by day

Day 1: Arrival in Le Morne. The Vallé Advenature Park, formerly known as Vallée des Couleurs, shows twenty-three earth colours, narrow hiking trails and wildlife. Anyone already awake enough tries the zip lines. For the arrival day, the walk is the best choice: paths are short, there is shade under the trees, and on the way back the children pass an animal area.

Day 2: Chamarel Waterfall. High above the landscape the Chamarel Waterfall plunges far into a basin. From the upper platform you look down, and at a lower spot you reach shallow pools. Small children should stay by the hand, because steps and rocks are wet. Pack mosquito repellent, as the greenery buzzes after rain.

Day 3: La Vanille Nature Park. In La Vanille Nature Park giant tortoises walk freely on the paths, and children may stroke and feed them. There are also crocodiles with a feeding show, lemurs and an insect house. The grounds are flat, shade is plentiful, and a kiosk stands at the crossing. The south coast is far from Le Morne, so plan the outward journey early.

Day 4: Gorges Viewpoint. At the Gorges Viewpoint you look into the gorges of Black River Gorges National Park, all the way to the ocean. The stop is short but impressive: a viewing platform, a short footpath, bird calls. Even very small children can come along, as long as they are on a lead or carried, because railings are not child-safe everywhere. With binoculars you spot tropicbirds above the treetops.

Day 5: Ebony Forest Reserve Chamarel. In the Ebony Forest Reserve in Chamarel you travel by off-road vehicle or on foot through forest where ebony trees are being replanted. Pink pigeon, giant tortoise and flowering plants are on the list. The paths are divided into stages, so you can turn back after half. Sturdy footwear is better than sandals, and rain jackets fit into any rucksack.

Day 6: Explorers Mauritius. Explorers Mauritius stands for active excursions on the coast, such as kayaking or boat trips. You choose a calm option if your children are still small, and something sportier for teenagers. The lagoon at Le Morne is shallow enough for splashing. A sun hat, UV shirt and plenty of water belong on every outing, as the wind hides the heat.

Day 7: Farewell to Le Morne. On the last day there is time for Le Morne itself: a walk on the beach below the mountain, whose history as a refuge for escaped slaves is World Heritage. Primary school children understand this in simple words. Afterwards you pack before the sun gets too strong, and leave enough time for the drive to the airport in the south-east of the island.
