Île aux Aigrettes – écotour guidé
About 850 m off the south-east coast, Île aux Aigrettes is a 27-hectare nature reserve run by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation since 1985. After a short boat ride, a guide shows you the restored dry coastal forest, one of the last of its kind, and the reintroduced species: pink pigeons, Mauritius fodies and olive white-eyes, Telfair's skinks and Aldabra giant tortoises standing in for the extinct native tortoises. The trail is short and flat, suitable for all. Entry fees directly fund conservation programmes.
No GPX track yet: the pin shows the start (or summit, see “Start”).
