Nice and peaceful experience with Nature - Our guide Mr Gilles was super friendly and patient with us. It was a nice and peaceful experience with Nature. The activity duration was 2-2h30 minutes. The cost was affordable as well. We were a group of 4 and though we had never done kayak, it was pretty easy to navigate.

Perfect way to spend the afternoon! - We had a wonderful afternoon kayaking through the serene waters of Tamarind Falls. Our guide Gilles was warm, friendly and full of positive energy. From the start he took the time to explain everything in a clear, fun and engaging way, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident before setting off. The tour itself was incredibly peaceful and scenic. Paddling through the calm waters surrounded by nature it was both relaxing and refreshing. Gilles made the experience even more special by personally speaking with each group during the tour, pointing out interesting spots and taking photos to pass on at the end of the tour. It was a perfect way to spend the afternoon, beautifully calm and well organised. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mauritius. A big thank you to Gilles for making it memorable.

Great activity and friendly, knowledgeable instructor - Our guide was Gilles, who instructed us how to kayak. It was a leisurely activity taking in the waters, scenery, flora and fauna. Definitely recommend it. You’re able to change and take a quick shower if needed at the boat house after kayaking which is great. It’s a heat activity to see another side of Mauritius

A peaceful walk along the Tamarin River - We spent a very pleasant time kayaking on the Tamarin River, accompanied by Gilles, our guide. He enjoys sharing his knowledge of the local environment, which makes the walk even more rewarding. The river is peaceful and offers an ideal setting for a kayak trip. The excursion lasted about two hours, the perfect time to enjoy the serenity of the place while discovering the vegetation and animals that populate the river. I highly recommend this activity, especially with Gilles as guide!
