Mauritius, Rodrigues & Reunion, 5th: The Bradt Travel Guide

by Royston Ellis, Alex Richards, Derek Schuurman

The Mascarene Isles comprise the three contrasting islands--Mauritius, its dependency Rodrigues, and the French island of Réunion. Each is unique and a destination in its own right, yet each is easily accessible from the other.
Although they are renowned for sun, sea, and sand, these islands offer outdoor exploring opportunities such as cycling and mountain hiking over volcanic terrain, while local nature reserves boast some of the world's rarest birds under conservation on the islands. Watersports are naturally highlighted with options ranging from diving and snorkelling around the coral reefs to deep-sea fishing for marlin on a local teak fishing craft.
Associated with luxury travel, these Creole islands can be equally rewarding for the budget traveler, and this guide includes listings for reasonably priced hotels and restaurants.
