Discover South Mauritius beyond the beach.

Quad biking at Bel Ombre Nature Reserve is one of the most exciting ways to explore the wild south of Mauritius. Set within a preserved natural domain in Bel Ombre, this guided 2-hour eco quad ride takes you across forest trails, open spaces, valleys and scenic viewpoints while surrounding you with the rich biodiversity of the reserve.

Carefully selected scenic stops also give you time to take photos, admire the landscape and fully experience the beauty of this protected part of Mauritius.

One of the memorable moments of the quad biking experience is the possible stop at L’Exemple Waterfall, where guests may cool off in clear water and enjoy a refreshing pause in the heart of nature.
