The West Coast of Mauritius is truly unique, offering some of the island’s most spectacular natural landscapes: majestic mountains, preserved natural parks, fine sandy beaches, rivers, and waterfalls. It would be a shame not to explore it! By staying at Veranda Tamarin, get ready to experience a variety of nature-filled adventures. With the hotel’s Explorer program, you’ll go off the beaten path, feel powerful emotions in harmony with the surrounding nature, and dive into Mauritian culture…
1. Climb breathtaking summits!
Don’t forget to pack your hiking boots, as the beauty of Mauritius’s mountains is matched by the challenge they pose. Accompanied by the island’s best guides, you’ll experience incredible climbs, and the view from the peaks is worth it. The UNESCO-listed Morne Brabant is a must-see in the Explorer program, offering a magical panorama from its summit. For a less demanding yet equally spectacular climb, the Black River Gorges are an excellent choice. And if you enjoy watching the power of flowing water, the Seven Cascades waterfalls will captivate you. Each experienced guide will enrich your adventure by sharing their knowledge of the island’s biodiversity.
2. Explore marine life… while protecting the corals!
Sea lovers are not left out! The Explorer program’s highlight is a sunrise kayak trip in Tamarin Bay, where you’ll have the chance to observe dolphins up close, all while ensuring their well-being. A full-day catamaran outing is also a family favorite. While you sail across the crystal lagoon in the tropical heat, the little ones will enjoy bouncing on the trampoline before diving into the water. Onboard, a barbecue waits for a delicious lunch.
3. Catch a wave… without catching a wipeout!
Surfing is an institution in Tamarin, and rightly so, as the bay offers ideal conditions year-round for both beginners and seasoned surfers. The surf school near the hotel offers customized lessons as part of our Explorer program. For us, learning with a certified instructor is the best way to make rapid progress! And with this warm water, every session is a real pleasure, with no wetsuits needed. Riding the wave without falling—that’s the challenge to take on. Ready to jump in?
4. Paddle down the river… and venture into the mangroves!
For more freedom, our watersports center offers kayaks and paddleboards for rent, perfect for outings with family or couples along the river. Feel free to explore this waterway toward the bridge and make your way through the mangroves. Shaded from the sun, this trip is truly a must-do!
As you can see, Veranda Tamarin is much more than a hotel—it’s a full experience! With the Explorer program, you’ll discover the natural beauty of Mauritius while enjoying the warm hospitality of the Mauritian people. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or an authentic immersion, Veranda Tamarin will meet all your expectations. Don’t delay in planning your stay in this little corner of paradise!
