DunienZîl ('the world of our island') is a family-run company based in Tamarin that guides small groups on foot and on electric bikes. Their rides take you through the villages of the west coast, the Black River salt pans, the cane fields and the private Yemen estate, with stories about the island's history and nature along the way.

The e-bikes take care of the hills: anyone who can ride a bike can join.
