My first kayak experience in Tamarin was absolutely amazing! The setting was stunning and peaceful. Such a beautiful way to discover my island from a completely different perspective. The whole experience felt refreshing and truly special. A big thank you to our guide, Gilles, who was incredibly encouraging and genuinely caring throughout the tour. His guidance made me feel comfortable and confident the entire time. I highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a serene and memorable adventure in Tamarin!

We had an amazing kayaking trip on the Tamarin river. It was a well-organized experience. Our guide was super friendly, professional and made the trip worth every penny. Special thanks to Théo for safely guiding us through the river and for sharing fun facts along the way.

It was a great experience, with a very friendly guide. No noise no crowd just us on the river. Get ready to get wet a little bit and to enjoy the sun. Really good for a shorter trip.

I booked this tour to experience a little nature away from the beaches and it was absolutely worth it for me. There were five of us and I was allowed to share the kayak with our guide Rowin, which I was very happy about due to my inexperience. The gentle gliding on the river amidst the wonderful scenery was simply fantastic. We learned a lot about the surrounding trees and plants and were also able to observe a group of monkeys. Overall a very nice experience.

Absolutely loved the experience - well equipped and well instructed by the guides. It was a joyful two-and-a-half hours exploring the riverside of Tamarin, the bridge, local wild life, and mangroves. The view of La Tourelle was beautiful. Throughout, our guide Rowin shared fun facts; he was very knowledgeable and made sure you could fully enjoy the experience at the right pace.

Had an amazing afternoon of river kayaking with our guide Yudish. We spent around two and a half hours up and down the Tamarin river, taking in the view. Yudish was very knowledgeable and pointed out certain plants/trees and gave us an insight into when Mauritius was formed and the different animals/plant that are indigenous to this island. Would recommend this activity to everyone
