About the Tour

Recharge your energy with the natural beauty and positive vibes of an early morning kayaking adventure on the river.

We begin at dawn in Tamarin Bay, where the river meets the sea, paddling as the sun rises and its golden light reflects on the calm, mirror-like water. This breathtaking scenery, with the sun emerging behind the Rempart and 3 Mamelles mountains, offers a serene sanctuary of birds, wildlife, and untouched beauty.

The experience will conclude back at our starting point, leaving you refreshed and inspired.

Wild South with Yanature

Dec 18, 2025
This one was amazing – walking along the cliffside to reach the Cascade Mamazelle. But the cherry on the top was going down to the natural pool right next to the ocean with waves crashing right next to it. Did this trek with Henry again post the Black sea over Trek. And Henry was very helpful in guiding us to the right spot and ensuring safety all along. Thank you Henry, Yanature – see you guys someday soon again.

Great Experience with Yanature and Henry

Dec 18, 2025
Loved the experience with Henry – who paced our trek very well, was very knowledgeable and ensured that everyone in the group was well taken care of and left fully satisfied and with a smile on their face. The forest itself is amazing – a living ecosystem of greens. And the hike was a 6km loop with an elevation gain of 300m with good views – with the ascent in the first half with a gradual descent in the second half.

Family fun time on the river

Dec 16, 2025
Enjoyed the time with Eliza on the river. She was great with the kids and made the experience fun for all of us. We arrived early and had coffee at the shop up the street. Then got the kids ready and went on the river. The first part was a bit of work but after 5 minutes it was smooth sailing.

Amazing- very beginner friendly

Dec 14, 2025
My guide was Henri and he was amazing. Though I was a complete beginner and didn’t know how to use mountain bike, he was patient in teaching. He took his time and didn’t rush us. The tour was amazing and is very beginner friendly.

Great photo shoot in a wonderful place!

Dec 12, 2025
This adventure turned out to be one of the most exciting and memorable experiences I've had on the island! Our guide, Paj, was there to help us along the entire route. He told us about the waterfalls, answered all our questions, and took lots of amazing photos! This is important to me, as I am traveling alone. This wasn't just an organized tour on paved paths, but a true jungle trek! 🙂
