Rodrigues Island trip planner

Flung far out in the middle of the Indian Ocean, rocky Rodrigues Island sits in a turquoise lagoon surrounded by a fringing coral reef. With the island's pace of life seemingly modeled on the resident giant tortoises, relaxation comes first on any Rodrigues Island holiday. Thankfully, there's more than enough white, sandy beach to go around. For active vacationers, Rodrigues Island also offers plenty. The wild, mountainous interior hides deep valleys, gnarled rock formations, rare plant and animal life, and extensive cave systems. Divers can delve among the island's surrounding reefs, home to a diverse population of fish, unique self-seeding coral, and many endemic species of crustaceans. Meanwhile, the lagoon provides ideal conditions for water sports such as kitesurfing. Cuisine on the island draws on the rich flavors of the predominantly Creole and African population, making use of fresh local produce and seafood.
