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.

My first ever hike at Le Morne Brabant

May 07, 2026
Paj from Yanature was a wonderful and patient guide. It was my first trek ever and I could do it because he guided me at every step. He took us to most of the viewpoints on Le Morne Brabant and also taught us about the various plants and fauna on the way.
Great positive attitude and a v helpful guide!

Must do Waterfalls 💦

May 03, 2026
This is a must do in Mauritius! Most beautiful hike, with stunning vistas and gorgeous pools to swim in below the waterfalls. Paj was an excellent guide, had great knowledge of the fauna and flora and ensured our every (slippery) step was safe.

Great hike

May 01, 2026
Great guided tour with Rowin to the top of the mountain. Very insightful on hiking techniques and local history. Rowin was also great at chatting about life and day-to-day topic of Mauritius.
The hike is technically demanding but worth the effort. Recommend having good non slippery shoes and flexible shorts.
