The exotic island of Mauritius is best explored on two wheels, with scooter hire and motorcycle hire providing the perfect way to discover the island's amazing natural wonders. Arriving into Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport puts you just a short ride away from the capital of Port Louis and the stunning beach village of Gravier. Lined with swaying palm trees, powder-soft golden sands and turquoise waters, the beaches around Gravier offer the quintessential tropical island paradise.
Hire a scooter or motorcycle and ride along the scenic coastal road to discover secluded coves and great swimming spots. Stop for a refreshing fruit juice or cold beer at one of the rustic beach shacks along the way. Inland from Gravier, sugar cane fields stretch as far as the eye can see.
Ride through small rural villages to experience a taste of local Mauritian life. Visit the rum distillery at Chamarel to learn about rum production and sample a tipple or two. The Seven Colored Earths are also a must-see - witness the natural wonder of sand dunes in vivid red, brown, purple and gold hues.
A scooter or motorcycle rental gives you the freedom to discover Mauritius at your own pace. Ride high into the mountains, where winding roads lead through rainforests, past dramatic cliffs and waterfalls. Take a day trip to Île aux Cerfs island, with its stunning beaches, lagoon and great snorkeling spots just offshore.
Or head south along the coast to lively tourist towns like Flic en Flac and Tamarin. Whether you want to laze on the beach, go hiking or take in Mauritian culture, seeing the island by scooter or motorbike lets you maximise your time and create an unforgettable tropical adventure.
