Port Mathurin
Port Mathurin is the main city of the island, located on the north side. The market is a must for its vibrant atmosphere and plethora of local products, souvenirs and beautiful paintings. You will also find a great selection of restaurants/cafes, only a walking distance from the market.
Nature Reserves
The Grande Montagne Natural Reserve, centrally located, will give you a glimpse of the ongoing conservation efforts and reforestation projects.
Ile Aux Cocos is another natural reserve that will take your breath away with its beautiful beaches and unique bird population. It is only accessible by boat.
View Points
There are several picture worthy spots around the island. We would recommend Mt Limon, the highest point of the island. It's a smooth and relatively short climb to the top
If you're looking for a great view of Port Mathurin, Marie Reine de Rodrigues is a great location to consider.
Outdoor Adventures
If you're a fan of outdoor adventures, you can choose between kite surfing, hiking, wind surfing, snorkeling, deep water diving, zip-lining, sports fishing, and kayaking etc., or try them all!
Places of Interest
To name a few: the Francois Leguat Tortoise Park, Caverne Patate, the St Gabriel Cathedral, Trou D'Argent and the beautiful beaches on the south east of the island.
Getting Around
You can roam around the island on a scooter, on the public bus, in a rental car or with a private driver, and enjoy the various unique eating places, landmarks, and attractions.
