- 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.

Soothing, incredible - Our Guide Jeremy was great and made us laugh! We were a small group (4 people). So being solo I went double canoeing with Jeremy. He knew how to adapt by taking the excursion in French and English! Even though we could not see a dolphin, I am very happy to have done this activity which is respectful of the environment and animals:) we could see fish and sunrise which was already very good!!

Kajak with Dolphins - Great.
Me and my boyfriend had a blast. Our guide Yana is very experienced and we were always first to see dolphines in action.
We kajaked for around 1,5 hour in Tamarine bay and saw dolphins jump and swim around our kajak. Than we also saw monkeys on the Tamarin river. Unforgettable morning!

Ile aux benitiers - We had an incredible experience on the kayak tour. The stunning views of the crystal clear waters, and vibrant marine life made it unforgettable. Our guide Yan was friendly, knowledgeable and ensured we were safe throughout the tour. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Mauritius from the water.

Dolphins at sunrise - The trip started at sunrise to allow us to spot dolphins while they were still in Tamarin Bay - our super friendly and expert guide Yudish explained that they rest here at night before heading out to sea for the day. It’s an early start but worth it, both for the dolphins and the beautiful views as the sun came up.
Being in kayaks felt much more connected to nature - to the sea and the dolphins - than the motorboats speeding across the bay. And yes, we did see a number of dolphins up pretty close - it’s not guaranteed but there never seemed any doubt that we’d spot a few!
The kayaks were mainly for two and while you’ll need a slight level of fitness to paddle for two hours, it wasn’t frantic at all - Yudish’s good nature and calm demeanour set the tone for an enjoyable and chilled morning. We ended our time by paddling a little way up the river, which was a lovely relaxing way to finish the trip.
Huge props to Yudish - he was always in control, knowing how to guide us towards the dolphins, and the fact he was a really nice guy added to the pleasure of the activity.

Magical and unforgettable experience - Our Yudish Guide was great!! He calmly guided us into the ocean with our kayaks and our hopes of seeing dolphins respecting nature.
He taught us patience and respect for nature with calm, kindness and a smile.
We saw the dolphins! Il
We took picture at our request for fear of dropping our phone in the water!! He was great!
