Discover Eau Bleu Waterfall in Mauritius, a beautiful hidden waterfall area known for turquoise natural pools, multiple cascades, lush tropical scenery and one of the best nature adventures in the south-east of the island.
Eau Bleue Waterfall is a forest waterfall near Cluny in southeast Mauritius, known for its striking blue pool and several connected cascades. It suits nature lovers, photographers and adventurous travellers; reaching the main pool involves a short natural descent that can be steep and slippery.
Eau Bleue is a waterfall experience that feels very different from Mauritius’ better-known roadside viewpoints. Hidden among sugarcane fields near Cluny in southeast Mauritius, the main cascade sits below dense vegetation, tree roots and volcanic rock, with clear water collecting in a vivid blue-green natural pool.
The colour of the water is what first catches attention, but the setting makes the visit more memorable. Forest closes in around the pool, while the waterfall drops into a compact natural basin away from the open coastal scenery associated with much of Mauritius.
Eau Bleue is also more than one waterfall. Several cascades are connected through the surrounding river system, although most casual visitors concentrate on the main waterfall and pool. More adventurous exploration, including river trekking and abseiling, is offered separately by experienced local guides.
Access is part of the experience. The route to the main pool is short compared with a full hike, but it follows a natural descent through roots and uneven ground. Mauritius Tourism specifically notes that the path can be slippery, so this is not the same type of visit as walking to a paved viewpoint.
There is no need to turn Eau Bleue into an all-day attraction. It works particularly well as a nature stop during a wider exploration of southeast Mauritius. Travellers interested in culture or the coast can combine it with Mahébourg or Blue Bay rather than making a long journey for the waterfall alone.
Eau Bleue suits photographers, couples, nature lovers and travellers who enjoy finding less-developed natural places. It will appeal less to visitors looking for easy paved access, extensive visitor infrastructure or an attraction requiring virtually no walking.
