Set in the Southern part of Rodrigues Island, the Francois Leguat Giant Tortoise Reserve is a unique park for giant tortoises and endemic plant species that still existed some centuries back.

The Giant Tortoise Reserve with Lunch - The Experience:

Discover this luxuriant 20 hectare nature reserve surrounded by emerging forest and some very rare plants; a stark contrast to the rest of the island where you will have the chance to explore a lush territory of 110,000 endemic and native plants as well as the giant tortoises.

As part of your park’s visit you will get to stroll through the reserve along a 2km long trail allowing you to discover the flora and fauna. You could easily imagine yourself back in time in the company of the giant tortoises, see the rare Rodrigues fruit bat and also opt for a guided tour of the magnificent caves beautifully illuminated stalactites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years.

Another interesting part of the park is the museum where you will learn more about the history of Rodrigues and geology. You will also find a real size sculpture of one of the extinct species of giant tortoise once found on Rodrigues, as well as carapaces of different species of tortoises.

To top up the experience, a visit to the souvenir shop offering an array of products that will remind you of the wonderful time spent at the Reserve and Rodrigues is a MUST!

Additionally, you have the choice for a delicious Veg or Non-Veg Lunch where you will have the chance to savour the local Rodriguan flavours, and enjoy refreshing yummy ice-cream!
