Rivière du Tombeau
The Rivière du Tombeau is a river that originates at the foot of Pieter Both mountain and flows through the landscape toward the Indian Ocean. Travelers visit the river's mouth, located on the coast north of Port Louis, to observe the point where the freshwater river meets the sea.
Getting There
The river mouth is located on the outskirts of Port Louis. From the city centre, it is accessible by car or taxi. The drive typically takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic conditions within the city.
Duration of Visit
Depending on whether you are simply observing the confluence of the river and ocean or walking along the coastline, allow 1 to 2 hours for a visit.
When to Visit
Early morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat. During the rainy season, water levels and flow rates may increase. This is a quieter location compared to the main city attractions, so it generally does not get crowded.
