About the Bundle

Mauritius has a lot to offer, and this bundle is one of the best ways to experience it.

It combines three of the island’s most popular outdoor activities: kayaking with dolphins, hiking Le Morne Brabant, and canyoning at Tamarind Falls.

In Tamarin Bay, you join a guided kayak tour with dolphins early in the morning.
This is the best time to see them, and we encounter dolphins on most days. The approach is respectful and non-intrusive — observing them in their natural habitat without disturbing them.

On land, you take on a guided hike up Le Morne Brabant, one of Mauritius’ most iconic landmarks.
This is more than a simple walk. The trail becomes steeper and slightly exposed in sections, and the views expand as you climb. We have been guiding on Le Morne for years, running this route daily with experienced local guides.

Further inland, you experience canyoning at Tamarind Falls (7 Cascades).
This involves moving through rivers, descending waterfalls, and navigating natural rock formations. All technical equipment is provided, and our guides ensure the activity is done safely.

You can schedule each activity on different days, in any order that fits your trip.

This bundle brings together our best-selling tours in Mauritius, consistently rated as highlights by travelers.

If you are looking for a simple and reliable way to experience the island through nature, adventure, and guided outdoor activities, this is the most complete option.

Great hike with Jordan

Apr 18, 2026
We had Jordan as guide and had great hike with him on Le Morne Brabant on April 11. He gave very interesting information, was good with guiding the group and had good jokes.

An unforgettable hike

Apr 17, 2026
Yesterday, my Husband and I climbed Le Morne Brabant with our wonderful guide, Paj.
We were both quite apprehensive beforehand after seeing how steep the mountain was and the mention of ‘scrambling’. However, it was incredible, so much better than we had imagined. At no point did we feel unsafe and Paj was great at guiding us through the tough parts.
We had initially contemplated doing it on our own, but I don’t think we would have completed it without Paj.
He was really informative and showed us all the best view points.
We would 100% recommend booking Yanature.
