Riviere Noire trip planner

Located on the east coast of Mauritius, Rivière Noire--or Black River--boasts long, thin beaches and sheltered bays, overlooked by the knobby Montage du Rempart, an extinct volcano. Unsurprisingly for a coastal region, tourism in Rivière Noire revolves around the sea. First-class fishing, sailing, and swimming with the dolphins of Tamarin Bay all feature highly on itineraries here. That said, the region's interior also deserves exploration: the landscape offers plenty of scenic hiking trails, with flat lowland salt plains nearer the coast climbing into humid upland forests. Riviere Noire is in Riviere Noire District. Make Riviere Noire central to your Mauritius travel plans using our Mauritius online tour planner.
