Enjoy the lush greenery in the calm and serene Bel Ombre Nature Reserve. At the same time get the thrill of a 2-hour quad or buggy tour across bumpy terrains of the wonderful eco-system in the south of Mauritius.

The nature reserve offers breath taking views of the vast stretches of vegetation, endemic birds like the pink pigeon and the Mauritius kestrel, beautiful mountains and magnificent waterfalls. Be mesmerised by this beautiful picture perfect location while riding the powerful quad bike or buggy. Along with the stunning blue ocean, deers, monkeys, wild boars and endemic trees can also be spotted.

After the adventurous drive take a refreshing plunge break at the Hirondelles Waterfall. The tour continues through sugar cane fields to an old sugar mill. End the tour with a refreshing dip in the l’Exemple Waterfall before heading back. A professional guide will ensure that the most can be made out of this experience.

I booked this tour then it was cancelled due to over booking, they offered other times but they were not suitable for us. I was told the refund would be 5 to 10 days, it's been 13. No money back. Fuming.

There were several instructors to help us learn how to drive the quads, and we had to do a test run round a track to make sure we were able. Another couple crashed violently twice after being given extra instruction and they were removed from the tour for the safety of the group which made me feel a lot safer knowing they take everything seriously The trail was amazing, saw lots of birds and deer. The waterfall was muddy but there had been a storm so to be expected Overall- AMAAZING!

Original booking was cancelled,causing much inconvenience!The most expensive buggy tour i’ve ever done!(i’ve done a few) Guide was very courteous.

Too expensive for what this tour offers, really not worth the money. £280 for 2h ride, we asked for a buggy and were given a quad instead. No water, no lunch, no snacks. Just 2 hours quad ride, too expensive
