Enjoy Time In Rodrigues

Rodrigues, one of Mauritius's most remote areas, seems to exist in a different time and space from the rest of the island. The daily pleasures of life and the connection to the land and the residents of this tranquil outpost are the main priorities here. Spend your days diving and snorkeling off the south coast or in the vicinity of La Passe St. François, going on boat excursions to distant islands, getting to know gigantic tortoises, exploring the Port Mathurin Saturday market, or all of the above. Although there is a lot to do on Rodrigues, a large portion of its appeal derives from something much simpler: the pleasure of simply being there.

Sport lovers that enjoy both marine and land activities love Rodrigues. With its hilly topography, which provides a beautiful view from whatever you are and a chance to get back to nature, it is the perfect playground for walkers and trailers. The East Coast offers wonderful treks as well as numerous coves where you may relax and take in the tranquility and unspoiled nature. In a breathtaking environment, you can stroll among these beautiful animals that were brought back to the island after going extinct during the colonial era. On-site attractions include the Garden of the Senses and the caves. Rodrigues is well-known for its southeast kitesurfing locations, where an international competition is conducted each year in late June. Line fishing in conventional boats is a different experience that can be had. You can go on board with one of the island's fishermen and explore the lagoon with them. Local businesses also provide diving lessons, trips to the nearby islands, and fishing excursions both inside and outside the lagoon.
