Rodrigues Holidays
Just 90 minutes flying time from Mauritius is its delightfully tranquil and undeveloped little island-dependency of Rodrigues. Just 50 miles square, Rodrigues is an escapists world of essentially simple pleasures. The combination of a short 3 or 4 night visit to Rodrigues with a longer stay in Mauritius makes an ideal Indian Ocean twin-centre holiday.
Rodrigues has dazzling white sand beaches which are never crowded. The warm, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, ideal for a gentle swim or a spot of snorkelling, will try hard to tempt you from lazy days spent under clear blue skies. Offshore, small sandy islands are havens for seabirds.
For more adventurous watersports enthusiasts the spectacular coral reefs which encircle Rodrigues offer wonderful diving conditions.
The absence of industrial development on this remote island has spared its coral reefs from pollution and many experts rate the scuba diving sites around Rodrigues amongst the best in the Indian Ocean.
Rodrigues is home to several species of endemic tropical flora and fauna. It is the ideal and unspoilt environment for the nature lover seeking peace and tranquillity. Try bird-watching, or angling. Or if you prefer hiking round the island, it's an out of the world experience.
The birdlife is fantastic and other popular attractions include visits to caves where the incredible works of nature, stalactites and stalagmites, take the shapes of the dragon, the lion and even the Buddha.
