Buggy ride Mauritius: Bel Ombre Nature Reserve, 2 hours
You're behind the wheel through valley and waterfall
A 2-hour buggy ride through Bel Ombre Nature Reserve in Mauritius where you drive your own vehicle through the valley, pass Frederica waterfall and stop to refresh. Choose a single buggy for one driver or a double buggy for two passengers; a guide leads in English or French.
The Experience
You pick your buggy—single if you're riding solo, double if there's two of you—and head into Bel Ombre Nature Reserve with a guide who speaks English or French. The ride covers 2 hours of terrain through the valley, and the route takes you past Frederica waterfall, where you'll stop to get out, cool off and take in the water. The buggy handles the ground; you handle the steering.
The reserve sits on endemic landscape, and the waterfall break is built into the itinerary, not rushed past. Public transportation runs nearby if you need it to reach the start point. All fees and taxes are included in the price, and the buggy itself is part of the booking—no separate rental fee on top.
What’s included
- Buggy rental for 2 hours.
- guide in English or French.
- stop at Frederica waterfall.
- all fees and taxes.
