Tamarin Falls, also known as 7 Cascades (Sept Cascades), is a spectacular series of waterfalls and natural pools in the forested southwest of Mauritius. If you enjoy places where nature feels raw and alive, Tamarind Falls will hold your attention from the first viewpoint. Also known as Seven Cascades, this waterfall system sits deep inside Mauritius, surrounded by forests, volcanic rocks, and natural pools. The sound of flowing water follows you throughout the trail, making the walk feel calm yet adventurous.
Many travellers reach this spot while planning relaxed island days through Mauritius tour packages, then realise Tamarind Falls offers something different. You walk, climb, pause, and watch water drop from multiple levels. The trails can feel quiet, sometimes challenging, and very rewarding.
There is no official entry fee to visit Tamarind Falls. Access to the trails is free. However, if you hire a local guide for safety and navigation, expect to pay around AED 120 to AED 180 per group, depending on route length and experience level.

Several interconnected trails that vary in difficulty, leading deeper into forested sections and quieter waterfalls.
Tamarind Falls can be risky without a guide, especially for first-time visitors. Trails are unmarked, rocks become slippery, and the weather changes quickly. A guide helps with navigation, safety, and choosing suitable routes.
Tamarind Falls takes around two to three hours, covering viewpoints and nearby cascades. Longer hikes that include swimming and deeper trails can take four to six hours, depending on fitness and weather.
Beginners can manage shorter routes with guidance. Some sections involve steep descents, uneven rocks, and rope assistance. You should choose trails based on comfort level and avoid pushing beyond physical limits.
Dry months between May and November are safer due to lower water levels and firmer trails. During heavy rains, paths become slippery, and waterfalls are stronger, increasing the risk for hikers and swimmers.
Yes, but children can visit only on easy routes and under close supervision. The terrain is not stroller-friendly, and some areas have steep drops. It suits older children who can walk confidently and follow safety instructions.
