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.

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.
