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.

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.

Beautiful visit of the Morne with a great guide
Pristine nature with wonderful guide Paj!
The area was beautiful and felt untouched in many places. There was also crystal clear water of the river where we could take a plunge and enjoy a refreshing swim
