About the Tour

Go dolphin watching off the coast of Mauritius on this guided kayak tour. Paddle into Tamarin Bay and get the chance to see bottlenose and spinner dolphins in their natural habitat.

Meet at the activity provider’s office in the morning to get started. Learn about the basics of kayaking from your guide before you set off.

Admire the sunrise over Tamarin beach as you paddle out into the bay. Dolphins spend the night in the bay, so the morning is the best time to catch a glimpse of them.

Spend two hours kayaking around the bay. If you spot dolphins, follow the instructions of your guide to observe these animals in a respectful way.

There is a chance that you won’t see any dolphins. If this happens, enjoy an alternative route exploring the Tamarin River and its rich wildlife.

Hiking at Le More Brabant in Mauritius

Oct 12, 2025
A challenging yet rewarding experience, that we couldn’t have done without Henri’s support, patience and guidance. Henri made sure everything was well organised, managed a diverse group, gave lots of insights about the history of the location, and showed great spirit, friendliness and encouragement. In addition to all of that, reaching the top of the mountain was a great opportunity to see breathtaking views and have unforgettable memories to bring back home!

Amazing Day at Seven Cascades

Oct 09, 2025
We had an incredible time on the Seven Cascades Canyoning Tour! The scenery was stunning and the whole experience felt adventurous yet safe. Our guide, Nicolas, was fantastic — friendly, patient, and very professional. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and helped us capture some great photos along the way. Highly recommended!
