What people say about us:
Relaxing kayak
Rowin from Yanature Was great! Even though we were late as we were stuck in traffic he said not to stress and waited for us so we could enjoy our trip. Very knowledgable and friendly guide. Lovely relaxing kayak along the river, would recommend
Guided Tour with Gilles
The waterfalls were absolutely worth the visit and clearly one of the highlights of our stay in Mauritius. Booking was quick, straightforward, and easy to arrange even at short notice. The natural scenery is truly outstanding — untouched, diverse, and simply breathtaking throughout the entire hike.
Gilles is an excellent guide. He shared interesting insights about the flora, fauna, and surroundings, and at the same time made sure we felt safe and comfortable, especially in the more challenging sections. His calm and attentive approach made the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend him.
Unforgettable hike!
Decided very last minute to go on a 4am sunrise hike of Le Morne to catch sunrise at the top and Yanature were very accommodating and fast to respond and to find my fabulous guide Henri to take me. It was an incredible experience and one of the best memories of my trip to Mauritius. I highly recommend going for sunrise as we had the entire mountain to ourselves and only started to encounter groups on the descent. Henri was an amazing guide, chatty knowledgeable and calm which was a great support towards the top when you’re scrambling. A wonderful experience and a fantastic guide.
Kayaking Tamarin river
We were 2 kayaking Tamarin River and it was an amazing experience. Rowin our guide was top notch n kudos to him for keeping up with us.☺️see u next
Highly Recommend the Sunrise Hike
Challenging but completely safe — I absolutely loved this hike.
Our guide, Paj, was fantastic. He was incredibly helpful, carefully pointing out the best way to navigate the trickier sections and making sure everyone felt confident
I highly recommend booking the sunrise hike. We had a super small group and didn’t see anyone else on the trail — we even had the summit entirely to ourselves. The views were breathtaking, and the sunrise colours were unforgettable.
