    Full description

    Discover Amber Island from the water and on land as you paddle across the blue waters of the lagoon. The islet is known for its rich flora which creates shady waterways perfect for exploring by kayak, including the mangroves. Tour the island with a guide and learn more about its history. Start off with a 15-minute kayak expedition from the northern coast of Mauritius (the embarkation point is Bain De Rosnay beach) towards Amber Island. During the paddle, you have the opportunity to explore a floating mangrove forest by kayak. Upon reaching Amber Island, join a guided tour of the isle which also includes a nature walk, and see ruins dating back to 1750. Before heading back to shore, swim in the crystalline waters of Ilot Bernache or stay dry and just take in the beautiful views. This tour is experienced via kayak and a small boat depending on your level of comfort and fitness. The team of professionals will guide you and ensure your experience is safe and memorable.

    The perfect Kayaking adventure in the mangroves and on Amber Island. Our guide Christopher was awesome- very knowledgeable, fun, at one with nature AND provided delicious snacks along the way. Highly recommend! The geckos and seeing the old settlement were a highlight as well as swimming with the fish in the mangroves.

    Wonderful day out with Christopher. He was so knowledgeable about the environment we learnt so much. Exploring this part of Mauritius was very different to the rest of the island and well worth a visit. I would highly recommend. It was difficult to find because it is on a private road. But we got our taxin driver to call the booking company and they helped with directions.

    We enjoyed our trip. Christopher was really nice and he explained us how to paddle since it was our first time. We were very lucky to share the experience with a very nice couple who made our trip even nicer. Christopher surprised us with pineapple and tart which were very tasty. Thank you for the very lovely time we’ve had with the kayak.
