Le Morne excursionsthe mountain, the lagoon, the boats
Le Morne Brabant is the landmark of the southwest. The excursions here are either on the water in front of it, or on the road that uses the mountain as the last stop of a south day.
UNESCO mountain
Le Morne Brabant is the view, even when you never climb it.
Lagoon boats
Dolphin catamarans and Bénitiers depart on this coast.
South day by car
Use Le Morne as the start or the last stop of a private south tour.
Hike on its own day
The trail is a morning of its own, not a stop between swims.
How to spend a Le Morne excursion day
Le Morne excursions fall into three plans. Stay on the peninsula: walk the public beach, look up at the UNESCO mountain, and keep the afternoon free. Go to sea: the west-coast catamaran and the Île aux Bénitiers trip use this lagoon, and many boats pass the mountain on the way to the dolphins. Or leave by car: a private south tour can start or finish here, with Chamarel and the gorges inland.
The mountain itself has a hiking trail. It is steep, it is not a casual add-on after lunch, and it needs proper shoes and an early start. We do not sell it as part of a boat day. If hiking is the plan, keep the boat for another morning.
Kitesurfing and the lagoon are the other reason people stay at Le Morne. A boat excursion is still the right booking when you want dolphins or an island lunch rather than a lesson.
Questions we get asked
Can we climb Le Morne and do a catamaran the same day?
No. The hike needs the cool morning, and the boats also leave in the morning. Pick one. Guests who want both use two dates.
Are Le Morne excursions only for people staying on the peninsula?
No. Flic en Flac, Tamarin and the southwest hotels use the same boats. A private transfer covers villas that are not on a hotel shuttle.
Is the mountain the whole excursion?
Only if you came to hike or to photograph it. Most of our Le Morne bookings are the boat in the lagoon, or the private south tour that stops at the foot of the mountain.
