About the Tour

The west coast is known for its beautiful sunsets, which adorn the late afternoon sky with its warm colors of all shades of yellows, oranges, and reds. Experiencing the kayak trip in the late afternoon on the Tamarin River is exceptional.

As the sun approaches the horizon, we row toward the heart of the river, towards the North.
Everything calms down, and this silence is only interrupted by the last songs of birds.

With a cold drink in hand, we marvel at the thousands of colorful reflections. Then the show can begin with the golden sunset and the genesis of a sweet tropical night.

Lovely walk in nature

Feb 08, 2026
Bird watching tour in the Black River Gorges NP with Yudish. A lovely early morning walk through the woods. Lucky enough to see a rare Mauritian kestrel and some other lovely animals. Nature facts from Yudish kept us informed and entertained!

Great afternoon hike

Feb 08, 2026
Well led and fun hike up Le Morne Brabant with our guide Yudish. Steep climb at the end is pretty challenging but the view is well worth it.
