About the activity

A true natural gem located in the south-west of Mauritius, the Tamarin River is home to remarkable biodiversity. Birds, ducks, deer, crabs and monkeys all thrive in this unspoilt environment. Quiet and eco-friendly, kayaking is the ideal way to explore the river discreetly and respectfully, without disturbing the surrounding wildlife. Less crowded than many other sites on the island, the Tamarin River offers a peaceful escape into nature, perfect for observing monkeys in their natural surroundings.

Join this guided kayak tour on the Tamarin River and enjoy a genuine immersion in the heart of the mangrove. Suitable for beginners and families alike, this easy excursion on calm waters has been designed to bring you closer to local wildlife, particularly the monkeys that live among the riverside undergrowth. Accompanied by a guide who is both a kayaking specialist and an expert in the Mauritian ecosystem, you’ll learn fascinating insights about these animals, their behaviour and their vital role in maintaining ecological balance.

To enhance your kayaking experience on the Tamarin River, you can opt for a longer outing that extends the adventure with an eco-engagement activity, a visit to a traditional fishing port, and even the opportunity to try stand-up paddleboarding.

So what are you waiting for? Choose the experience that suits you best and set off to meet the monkeys of Mauritius by kayak with the expert guides from Lakaz Kayak!
