Horse Riding - Rodrigues Island

Horse Riding - Rodrigues Island

Cotton Bay Hotel offers horse riding. To have a holiday in a seaside resort away from all the bustle, in a wild setting, to practise diving, playing tennis or horse riding, Rodrigues island has a facility offering charm, comfort and conviviality. Do not seek further : it is the Cotton Bay.

A horseback excursion in one of the most beautiful nature rich domains of Mauritius. What is more fun rather than to stay on the beach to play golf at one of the hotels, go to horseracing on Saturdays (or Sundays, depending on the programme), have a kart race with your friends and relatives.

Or why not try and relax at a spa to rejuvenate your body and soul.

Diving - Rodrigues Island
There are several good scuba-diving locations around Rodrigues, but there is no diving school or public-use compressor on the island, and you need a boat. The best dives are off Pointe Colon and Pointe Roche Noire, on the east coast, and off Pointe Palmiste, on the west. Baladirou, at Pointe aux Comes, is also a good spot. Cotton Bay Hotel has a diving centre which is also open to nonresidents. Henri Tours can also organise diving trips.
