Mauritius is a great place for water sports with its breathtaking lagoons, mangroves, and rivers that are perfect for kayaking.

Experience an unforgettable sea kayaking tour around Île D'Ambre, enjoy a beautiful and peaceful paddling in calm seas, and stop for snorkeling in the dense mangroves. The area is a wild sanctuary rich in biodiversity and history, where you can take a short walk through the forest on Île D'Ambre to see the ruins existing since 1750.

The sea kayaking tour is available for both beginners and experienced paddlers.

Toller Guide, der viel über die Mangroven und Geschichte der Insel erzählt hat. Schöne Umgebung. Als Snack gab's Rührkuchen+Kekse. Getränke: Kaffee+Saft. Das Kajakfahren war gut zu meistern. Zu sehen gab es Vögel, Muscheln, Seeigel und kleine Fische. Punktabzug: Wir hatten erwartet, beim schnorcheln mehr zu sehen. Zu dritt war der 1/2-Tagessausflug relativ teuer (insges. ca. 350 Euro). Zudem wurden wir bereits 7 Uhr abgeholt statt 12 Uhr lt. Angebot, Info kam nur auf Nachfrage. Das war stressig

The day was fantastic. The guides were fantastic from start to finish, they gave us a briefing, safety information, reef shoes, dry bag and life jackets and were very knowledgeable throughout the day, they were informative about the history and nature of the small islands we were kayaking around. Overall FANTASTIC experience

The guide Patrick was amazing. Very very good English, relaxed and informative when required. Safety was of course top priority but also had enough freedom to do a bit of exploring. I'm sure it's probably just because of the mangroves themselves but some more routes through the small channels in the vegetation would have been good.

Very beautiful trip through the mangroves and a short walk on Ile D' Ambre. The guide gave a lot of background information.
