Franchement, je recommande a 100% ! Amazing tour with great guide ! the itinary was great, allowing you to discover the best spots in Rodrigues island. I really enjoyed my day, learning more about Rodrigues history and culture, eating like a local and I was able to take amazing pictures from the Blue Lagoon.

Excursion to be done as soon as possible because the guide excessively kind and helpful, knowing perfectly his island, paints a complete picture on the histories of the island (geological and geographical history, botany, cultural, religious, demographic, political etc...) which allowed us to soak up quickly and better understand the island as a whole and better understand the big differences from its big sister Mauritius. It then allows you to explore certain aspects through more targeted excursions or private walks. We candidly and warmly recommend this excursion organized by Rodrigues Friendly
