Rodrigues Island
Sometimes called the 'Cinderella of the Mascarenes', Rodrigues
Island is a tiny island roughly 348 miles (560km) east of
Mauritius, and a popular excursion from there. Less touristy than
the resort towns of Mauritius, Rodrigues Island offers visitors a
glimpse of a simpler and more authentic way of life. The island
itself is scenic, with unspoiled flora and fauna offering good
opportunities for bird-watching, hiking, fishing, and exploring the
stunning caves. The best way to get to Rodrigues Island is by plane
from Port Louis to Plaine Corail Airport.
