Top 5 Reasons to Go Sea Kayaking in Mauritius with Yemaya Adventures

When people think of Mauritius, they often picture luxurious beaches and crystal-clear lagoons. But there’s a side of the island that only a few get to see, the wild, untouched beauty that you can access by sea kayak. At Yemaya Adventures, we’ve been offering guided kayaking tours in Mauritius since 2000, and we know one thing for sure: this is the ultimate way to explore the island's hidden gems. Here are 5 reasons why sea kayaking in Mauritius should be at the top of your travel bucket list:

1. Explore the Hidden Mangroves of Ile d’Ambre

Ile d’Ambre, located on the northeast coast of Mauritius, is one of the last remaining wild islets with preserved mangrove forests. These fascinating ecosystems are only accessible by small boats, and sea kayaking allows you to glide silently through their narrow channels, spotting unique bird species, tropical fish, and even baby rays in the shallows.

2. A Nature-Lover’s Paradise

Mauritius is home to a rich biodiversity of marine and coastal species. Our kayaking trips are designed not just for fun but also to educate and inspire. You’ll learn about the island’s efforts to preserve its natural habitats and leave with a deeper appreciation of the environment. All while enjoying a peaceful paddle in paradise.

3. An Eco-Friendly Adventure

Unlike motorized boats, sea kayaks leave no trace and create no noise pollution. At Yemaya Adventures, we’re committed to responsible tourism. We use reusable gear, reef-safe products, and even encourage guests to participate in beach cleanups when possible. Choosing to kayak is one way you can enjoy Mauritius while minimizing your impact.

4. Suitable for All Levels

Never kayaked before? No problem! Our professional guides provide a full safety briefing and paddling instruction before every trip. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced adventurer, we tailor the route to your pace so you can enjoy the ride in comfort and confidence.

5. Unforgettable Views & Experiences

Paddling through turquoise lagoons, stopping for a swim in hidden coves, visiting the historical ruins on Ile d’Ambre, each moment on the water becomes a memory you’ll cherish for a lifetime. And with small group sizes, you’re guaranteed a personal and enriching experience.
