Our company takes you on an unprecedented morning quest: the observation of dolphins in their natural habitat, the Tamarin Bay. The morning offers perfect conditions for having the chance to observe the two fabulous marine mammals: the spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) and the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), which often take refuge in the bay at night in order to mate and feed. Embark with your guide on the kayaks to discover in a responsible and respectful way the dolphins of Mauritius. This 2-hour adventure is open to everyone and does not require any previous experience with kayaks. It is important to note that we cannot guarantee with certainty the presence of dolphins. These are sometimes off the coast, inaccessible by kayak. An alternative route will then be proposed to discover the Tamarind River and its wildlife.

Theo allowed us to admire dolphins in Tamarin Bay. A superb experience that he framed at best with good humor and professionalism. I recommend.

Beautiful Kayaking trip on the sea, surrounded by dolphins and accompanied by Jeremie, a super nice guide and who taught us a lot about dolphins! In addition, it is an eco-responsible activity so no guilt in relation to respect for the sea and animals.

We booked 2 tours with Yanature during our family holiday to Mauritius. Both were excellent and I would highly recommend the company as reliable and professional. Matt was our guide for the dolphin kayak and the boys whole experience was exceptional. We saw hundreds of spinner dolphins swimming along the kayaks and jumping/spinning. It was a once in a lifetime experience and felt like a non-intrusive way to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat. Special thanks to Matt for his thoughtful instructions to a middle aged mum who hasn't held a paddle for a long time. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

We went out to see the dolphins, accompanied by Gilles and Lali. We had a great time. When the dolphins moved away, Gilles and Lali proposed we continue the Kayak trip on the Tamarin River. Gilles even allowed my companion to test his padle! Thank you for your kindness and this moment that will be remembered for a long time!

It was an early start at 6.20am, but it was worth it. What a way to experience dolphins in the wild without impacting their natural habitat. Our guide Theo was such a credit to have and his knowledgable about local wildlife and the area was first class. The combination of the location, the eco friendly approach to dolphin watching and a fantastic guide made the whole experience one to remember. Top marks.
