Amazing Kayaking Tour with Gilles on Tamarin River - We did the Afternoon Guided Kayak Tour on Tamarin River with our guide Gilles. Gilles was absolutely amazing!! So informative and gave us lots of information about all of the wildlife and scenery. He also took some incredible photos of us so we didn’t have to risk getting our phones out on the kayak! I highly recommend this to anybody visiting Mauritius.

Lovely experience - Kayaking upriver from Tamarin was a fun experience. The scenery was tranquil, the views stunning and we saw a lot of birds.
We can definitely recommend our guide, Gilles, who made us feel welcome and safe, and told us a lot of interesting facts about the area.
