The Tour Guides Gilles and Paj were fantastic. The route was beautiful and we saw Monkeys along the way. We were all well looked after and it was a lovely experience. The time said 90 minutes when booking but we got much longer out there on the water to experience it all! Would definitely recommend!

On one side the Rempart and the Trois Mamelles mountains, and on the other, the magnificent mountain of La Tourelle. The surrounding natural habitat boasts lush greenery as well as abundant wildlife.
