We had a lovely couple of hours kayaking on the river. Our guide was really knowledgeable about the local area. We saw lots of monkeys and lovely scenery. Watch out for the jumping fish.

We did the kayak tour on the Tamarin river. The scenery is absolutely spectacular! Won’t eg mountains in the background. Our guide was very friendly and informative. It’s a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

Kayaking on the Tamarin River

Nazneen_S, Aug 2025

Kayaking on the Tamarin River was beautiful - we kayaked into the mangroves and our guide Olivier was great, pointing out all the wildlife and knew exactly where to kayak as there are quite a few very shallow areas where your kayak could get stuck. He made sure to check back on us and translate everything for us in English. It was tiring but so much fun.

Give Matt a raise

We had a blast with our tour guide Matt. He was very friendly and chatty. We would 100% do it again. Beautiful scenery

Pleasant family experience

Pleasant way to spend an afternoon paddling up and down the river. Good family activity. Pleasant guide. Meet at the yard where the dive centre and surf school are.

Loved this!

What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! The company kindly helped us to arrange transfers from our hotel to the site and they had great communication when we needed to move the date of our trip as our daughter was poorly. A stunning kayak route and a knowledgable and fun guide. Highly recommend this!

An amazing tour👌✨️

Valentyna_S, Jul 2024

It was an amazing tour. My 10 year old son and I really enjoyed kayakin, lush nature and our guide Rowin was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the nature and Mauritius. Anything we asked he was happy to provide interesting facts with smile and warm attitude. Rowin took some photos of us during the tour and messaged them later. He even assist us and shared the knowledge of what people in Mauritius use for cough which was very helpful for my son. I would highly recommend the tour and guide Rowin.

Relaxing afternoon activity

Paige_C, Jun 2024

Having only been in Mauritius a few days when we went on our river trip, Jeremie, our guide, was very open to answering the questions we had about the island and knowledgable on many aspects of the river Tamarin itself. Thank you for a relaxing afternoon!

Muito agradavel.

Marco_M, Jul 2024

O passeio foi bastante agradavel, excelente paisagem, sem risco, baixa adrenalina. O monitor Rowin muito alegre, animado, deu animação ao grupo.

Très sympas mais temps de balade beaucoup plus court que annoncé

Clara_G, Jun 2023

Nous avons adoré le guide Steeve., Cependant le temps qui devait être de 2h30 environ ( comme noté ) n’a pas du tout été respecté. Nous avons eu 1h15 seulement de kayak à peine. L’expérience était très bien mais chère pour seulement à peine 1h15 !!!
