We will paddle upstream, where the water is calm, to discover the two main arms of the river. On one side the Rempart and the Trois Mamelles mountains, and on the other, the magnificent mountain of La Tourelle. The surrounding natural habitat boasts lush greenery as well as abundant wildlife. Throughout our journey, we may encounter moorhens, ducks, long billed birds, flying foxes or even monkeys.

5.00We did the Afternoon Guided Kayak Tour on Tamarin River with our guide Gilles. Gilles was absolutely amazing!! So informative and gave us lots of information about all of the wildlife and scenery. He also took some incredible photos of us so we didn’t have to risk getting our phones out on the kayak! I highly recommend this to anybody visiting Mauritius.
