- Tamarin Bay Surfschool Mauritius - Our company takes you on an unprecedented morning quest: the observation of dolphins in their natural habitat, the Tamarin Bay. The morning offers perfect conditions for having the chance to observe the two fabulous marine mammals: the spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) and the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), which often take refuge in the bay at night in order to mate and feed. Embark with your guide on the kayaks to discover in a responsible and respectful way the dolphins of Mauritius.
This 2-hour adventure is open to everyone and does not require any previous experience with kayaks.
It is important to note that we cannot guarantee with certainty the presence of dolphins. These are sometimes off the coast, inaccessible by kayak. An alternative route will then be proposed to discover the Tamarind River and its wildlife.

simply magic - It was incredible beauty
Unforgettable and dolphin-friendly human experience. They are the ones who came to us and not the other way around.
Thank you Eliza for this moment of grace
Thank you for your kindness and welcome.
Your family business holds high values of respect and kindness what a magical moment we had thanks to you. A suspended moment I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Take care of yourself and see you soon for another experience!

Nice morning trip in kayak - and yes we got very close to dolphins - Nice morning walk on the sea in the kayaks. The quiet at sunrise is very special. The fact that we were lucky and actually saw a bunch of dolphins very close made the experience magical.
Can completely recommend the tour and the skilled and knowledgeable guides!

Exciting animal encounter - Spectacular! Yudish was an energetic and informative guide who led us in a group of five kayaks out into the bay for a successful dolphin encounter. It was awesome to be up close and hear them breathe in the quiet early morning light. Then Yudish led us up the river for more unique sights. This was a fantastic experience! Thanks, Yudish! :-)

I've enjoyed and I'd recommend - I love the approach that you watch dolphins with kayak. Boats chasing dolphins are disaster, it looks and feels horrible, no respect to animals at all. Theo was the guide, very friendly and nice guy.
I give 4 stars for one reason - you have to carry kayaks from the garage to the beach by yourself. It could be ok for men, but two girls carrying kayak - it is quite heavy. I suppose kayaks should have been brought to the beach prior the beginning of the tour. Plus it takes time.
