Sport and culture in Tamarin Bay, Mauritius

In the morning: departure by dugout canoe towards the beach to discover the seabed by snorkeling.
Late afternoon: stand up paddle to the river to watch the sunset.
During the day, you will have time to stroll around the village of Tamarin, or to enjoy the beach or the pool.

Departure at 9am by minibus, arriving an hour later in Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius. Stroll through the market and immerse yourself in this lively city, visit the citadel, and Chinatown.
Lunch: street food! Mauritius is brimming with diverse flavors and influences from around the world. Bring some Mauritian Rupees to treat your taste buds! If you don't want to sample Mauritian cuisine in Port Louis, you can order your takeaway lunch the day before by 6 pm.
A visit to the grapefruit garden is not planned, as the lush nature is better showcased during hikes.

Wake up at dawn for a kayaking trip in Tamarin Bay; if you're lucky, you might even spot dolphins. The trip lasts approximately 2-2.5 hours. A local breakfast is served in the kayak, and you can enjoy a second breakfast upon returning to the hotel around 9:00 AM!
For the rest of the day, you'll take an excursion to the Black River Gorges National Park, where you might spot one of the nine animal species found among 150 plant varieties. At the end of the hike, with its magnificent panoramic views, you can cool off in the river.

Early morning departure for a hike in the lush Mauritian forest.
A superb climb up Piton Canot; a spectacular view for about an hour's ascent! The panorama is majestic with breathtaking views of the Ile aux Bénitiers lagoon, Le Morne and the Tamarin Tower!
This hike can be muddy, so bring good hiking shoes! Pack 1.5 liters of water in a backpack; you'll sometimes need your hands to climb "monkey style".
This is a moderately easy hike, although the terrain is sometimes a bit technical due to its natural state, requiring you to use your hands! Don't worry, your guides in pink will accompany you at your own pace and will keep you motivated!

Optional catamaran trip to Ile aux Cerfs (fee applies).

Departure for a relaxing day where the van will take you from site to site. The Hindu temple and the sacred lake will be visited; please remember to cover your shoulders to respect this highly spiritual place. Lunch will be a picnic brought from the hotel. We'll stop to see the Chamarel waterfall and the Seven Coloured Earths! The views from Chamarel are magnificent and worth a short stop to capture these vibrant colours!

End of stay at 10 a.m.
