Tamarin Bay, located in the south-west of Mauritius, is a tranquil and authentic spot, renowned for its dolphin population. While many visitors opt for boat tours, Lakaz Kayak invites you to explore the bay by kayak – silent, eco-friendly, and respectful – allowing you to observe the dolphins without disturbing them with engine noise.
Join this guided kayaking experience in Tamarin and prepare for a full immersion in both the bay and the mangroves. Suitable for beginners and families, the excursion begins with around an hour of paddling in the bay at sunrise, when the waters are calm and peaceful. Here, you’ll search for Bottlenose and Spinner dolphins, and when they appear, you’ll have the chance to watch them play and leap against the stunning backdrop of Morne Brabant, while your guide shares fascinating insights about these intelligent creatures.
Next, continue your adventure along the Black River towards the mangroves. Accompanied by your guide, you’ll learn about this vital habitat for marine and birdlife. With some luck, you may even spot local wildlife such as birds, ducks, deer, crabs, or monkeys. In total, you’ll spend around 1 hour and 30 minutes exploring this pristine paradise.
Nature lovers will cherish this kayak excursion in Tamarin Bay with the dolphins. Don’t wait – book now and experience an unforgettable morning in Mauritius!
