What to do on the island of Rodrigues?




A paradise for hikers, Rodrigues is an island that is easy to discover on foot.
4 kilometers to the west, ile aux coco is a must visit during a stay in Rodrigues. This immaculate sandbank, classified as a nature reserve, has the air of paradise with its whiteness and the transparency of the waters that border it. Its name does not mean that there is coconut on the island, it is that the island is covered with bird eggs and you have to be careful when walking.  For bird watchers, the site is home to thousands of seabirds such as white terns and noddis. 



The reserve François Leguat is also an interesting visit. This huge reserve is home to turtles that live in a protected area and managed by enthusiasts.
Caverne Patate, in the island's southwestern corner, is an impressive cave system with a few stalagmite and stalactite formations. Visit is by guided tour, during which a guide points out formations with uncanny resemblances to a dodo, Buckingham Palace and even Winston Churchill! The 700m tunnel is an easy walk.

If the eastern part of Rodrigues is his crown, Trou d'Argent and Anse Bouteille are undoubtedly the jewel. Beaches of white and golden sand, green nature, turquoise blue water that does not need a camera filter to enhance it. Places that must be protected at all costs, but also discover. By taking the road to St-François or passing through Graviers, for the more adventurous, simply follow the "clues" as an explorer to reach your destination. No risk of getting lost.

Who has never dreamed of crossing a suspension bridge more than 40 or 100 meters high. Far from being supported by pylons, this platform is fixed by cables placed in height, which makes the adventure even more exciting.
