Choose how you cross.
Every trip launches from Bain de Rosnay, Rivière du Rempart. Prices and exact durations are confirmed on WhatsApp — group size and the tide both change the plan.
Kayak
Guided sea kayak to Île d'Ambre through the mangrove channels. Half-day or full-day, small groups, all gear included.
Boat trip
A calmer crossing by boat for groups who'd rather sit back and watch the mangrove go by, or who can't paddle.
Île d'Ambre hiking
A guided walk across the island itself — the old lighthouse ruins, the far beach, and views back to the mainland.
Table d'hôte
Dinner with a local family — home-cooked Mauritian creole food, table d'hôte style, arranged around your trip.
Camping
A night under canvas on Île d'Ambre — sunset paddle out, sunrise paddle back, gear and permits handled for you.
Photo session
A professional photographer joins your crossing and captures it as it happens — for couples and families, arranged on request.
