Touching down at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport puts you close to Quatre Bornes, one of the more popular cities in Mauritius. With a scooter or motorcycle rental you can easily navigate the coastal roads and take in all that this exotic island has to offer. Quatre Bornes itself provides a great home base.
The Trianon Shopping Park offers air conditioned respite from the tropical climate along with restaurants and stores for essentials. The lively market along Rue Des Fauves is a sensory overload, with vendors selling fresh produce, spices, clothing and souvenirs. Just a short ride inland are emerald forests and thundering waterfalls of the Pailles and Floreal districts.
Feel the mist on your face as you take in the majestic cascade of Rochester Falls. Wind through the canopy roads to see exotic birds like the Pink Pigeon at Casela Nature Park. The western coastline wows with its scenic beauty.
Take the coastal road through Flic-en-Flac to see its palm-fringed beaches and sparking lagoon. Further south, Le Morne Brabant peninsula impresses with its dramatic mountain landscape. Hike to see the summit and get panoramic views of the coast.
No trip to Mauritius is complete without seeing the Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel. The striking sand dunes form unique patterns in shades of purple, red and brown. Nearby, the Black River Gorges National Park rewards visitors with rainforest hikes and breathtaking overlooks.
With so much natural beauty and cultural sights to experience, Quatre Bornes makes the perfect basecamp for your Mauritius adventure. Renting a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike gives you the freedom to explore this tropical paradise at your own pace.
