  A different lifestyle. There is absolutely no rush when you are on the island : people on the island are extremely polite and helpful, drivers on roads are courteous and absolutely drive stress free. Large variety of food available over the island, including many sea food options. Absolutely magical postcard-like landscapes. It is a pity that the authorities (including Mauritian government) doesn’t bring the necessary changes to provide water adequately over the island ( this is a real problem here) and build enough concrete houses for those in needs, similar to the scale being done in the mainland. Bref, you are in Mauritius, but living life at a different pace.

  Wow what a beautiful place to visit. I have been to Mauritius so many times and had heard of Rodrigues but never had the chance to go there. So quiet , very little traffic. Scooter or 4x4 a must to get around. The few roads take you up and down the hill side. Goats, cattle and sheep roaming. The people very friendly always greet you as they pass you by. Water is precious here with very little rainfall. The nature reserves are a must see. We saw the protected giant tortoises and while there you go inside a fascinating cave with rock formations. The bird sanctuary on a small islet in the lagoon was brilliant. The Rodrigues people doing there best to protect their islands wildlife, fauna and flora. Only disappointment was to still find some litter in the most in the most rugged back to nature spots. Such a sad reminder of how thoughtless human beings can be.
