What to expect

Experience dolphins in Mauritius in a unique and respectful way. During this guided kayak tour you'll observe wild bottlenose and spinner dolphins quietly, in their natural habitat.

Start your morning at our base in Tamarin, where your guide will introduce you to kayaking and safety essentials. No previous experience is required.

As the sun rises over the west coast, paddle into the calm waters of Tamarin Bay, one of the best places to encounter dolphins in Mauritius. Moving silently by kayak, you’ll have the chance to witness these incredible animals naturally, without disturbance.

Spend around two hours exploring the bay with your guide. If dolphins are present, you’ll approach them respectfully, following strict guidelines to ensure a safe and ethical interaction.

Unlike many boat tours, our approach is designed to minimize impact on wildlife:

No chasing or disturbing dolphins
Quiet, non-motorized approach
Small groups
Respectful observation only

Important note: Dolphins are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed. If they are not present, your guide will take you along an alternative route exploring the Tamarin River, known for its birdlife and peaceful setting.
