Explore Tamarin river on this guided kayak tour. See the various wildlife that resides in the river, as you paddle along untouched nature and calm waters.
Start kayaking at the very spot where the river meets the ocean, also known as Tamarin Bay, which is famous for its mythical wave. Paddle upstream the calm waters and discover the two main arms of the river.
On one side the Rempart and the Trois Mamelles mountains, and on the other, the magnificent mountain of La Tourelle. The surrounding natural habitat boasts lush greenery as well as abundant wildlife. Throughout your journey, we may encounter moorhens, ducks, long-billed birds, flying foxes, or even monkeys.

Le Morne with Paj
What made the tour even more special was Paj’s knowledge of Mauritian flora. Along the way, he shared many interesting facts and insights that enriched the experience.
I would also like to highlight the early start time of the hike, which was a brilliant decision. We were the very first group to begin and reached the summit about 30 minutes before everyone else. Experiencing the top of Le Morne in complete peace, almost alone, was absolutely phenomenal. Later on, the summit becomes very crowded, which makes it much harder to fully enjoy the moment or take great photos. This early start made all the difference.
Thank you once again for an unforgettable experience. I would happily go on another hike with Paj anytime and highly recommend him to anyone considering Le Morne.
a relaxing paddle up the river
You don't need to be an experienced kayaker. The other couple with us weren't and they managed fine.
It was low tide and the river was quite low in places, but it didn't cause any big issue.
Do wear factor 50 suncream and a hat or you will get tosted. Take water as well.
