Hiking up to Mont Brabant with Bryn was a highlight of our trip to Mauritius. Bryn is a rare guide who combines the bucket list experience with a true passion for nature, history and culture.

We hiked up to Le Morne on August 7th with Bryn, my children, and me. It was an absolutely fantastic experience. The surroundings are spectacular, and Bryn is able to inspire you with her enthusiasm and passion for its care and conservation. We thoroughly enjoyed the hike, the magnificent sunrise, and all the animals and plants that Bryn insisted we see. We would love to go back. Thank you so much, Bryn!

Hi Bryan, We had such a great time with you today! We really pushed ourselves out of our comfort zone, had so much fun, and in the end, we were also really proud of what we achieved. We owe a lot of that to you. You made us feel safe and confident, you were so kind, encouraging, and easy to talk to, and you made the whole experience so enjoyable. As we tried to say earlier, it’s not something you come across every day to meet someone who has so much genuine joy and passion for what they do. And you really showed us that today and made our day even more special. Thank you so much for an amazing day! An the Great Fotos :) Vanessa & Pascal
