It was a wonderful kayak tour early in the morning. We were able to watch dolphins for about an hour until they retreated to the open sea. Observing them from the kayak was very respectful. Afterwards we went a bit further along the Black River. Many thanks to our nice guide Yan.

Full description

Go dolphin watching off the coast of Mauritius on this guided kayak tour. Paddle into Tamarin Bay and get the chance to see bottlenose and spinner dolphins in their natural habitat.


Meet at the activity provider's office in the morning to get started. Learn about the basics of kayaking from your guide before you set off.


Admire the sunrise over Tamarin beach as you paddle out into the bay. Dolphins spend the night in the bay, so the morning is the best time to catch a glimpse of them.


Spend two hours kayaking around the bay. If you spot dolphins, follow the instructions of your guide to observe these animals in a respectful way.


There is a chance that you won't see any dolphins. If this happens, enjoy an alternative route exploring the Tamarin River and its rich wildlife.
