Half Day Canyoning Excursion at Tamarind Falls

Tamarind Falls: Situated on the central plateau, near the small village of Henrietta, the Tamarind Falls canyon is the one canyon of Mauritius which you really do not want to miss. With its  waterfalls, multiple jumps, deep ponds and lush green vegetation; Tamarind Falls remains one of the most beautiful canyons of the island that is suited to anyone - an ideal spot for any level, from beginner to extreme adventurer.

Begin your exciting journey: The canyoning trip starts at 08:30 with a safety briefing and equipment introduction. You will be guided and mentored the whole time by qualified monitors who are specialists in the activity. Begin with a spectacular abseiling experience down a waterfall of 40 m, followed by the "shower" aesthetic track under the waterfalls, secured by a rope and the crossing of a pond of about fifty metres in diameter.

Behold, the thrills! You will abseil through the other remaining waterfalls of about a dozen-metre height, followed by a short swim. To reach the final waterfalls of twenty metres, adults will have the option of jumping from a 6-metre height after a rope descent.

Canyoning (known as canyoneering) is travelling in canyons using a variety of techniques that may include walking, climbing, jumping, abseiling, and swimming.

The terms canyoning and canyoneering are more often associated with technical descents - those that require rappels (abseils) and ropework, technical climbing or down-climbing, technical jumps, and/or technical swims.
