It was a wonderful, personalized tour that I, as someone with mobility issues, was able to manage easily. Many thanks and a 100% recommendation. Greetings from Jürgen in Germany”

6.Quad Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 413 reviews · 3 hours · from $129

Ride a quad through South Mauritius with a local guide such as Petoo, Vimal, or Vivesh. Expect sugar cane tracks, the Royal Palm Forest, Pointe Vacoas, Le Pont Naturel, coastal paths, and a swim at La Cambuse. The small group keeps the pace manageable, but bring swimwear, closed shoes, sunglasses, and clothes you do not mind getting dusty.

“Such a thrill ride! After a short tutorial, we were quickly on our way racing through sugar cane fields and enjoying the natural Mauritian beauty. We stopped for short breaks at amazing lookout points to capture photos. Our guide, Sangit, along with being an excellent guide, was a great photographer as well, making sure to get lots of different angles of us on our quads. Despite little experience on a quad before, we very quickly felt comfortable thanks to Sangit. The last stop was at a beautiful beach where we could go for a swim or stop by the shops for a snack. We highly recommend this adventure to anyone…”

Our only problem was we have been told Manu will be our driver and guide. Sorry to say but he was just driver. Did not talk about anything, we were expecting to hear about history, geographic facts, interesting stories but nothing. We even tried to make conversation but we got one word answer.
