The place

Île aux Aigrettes is a 26-hectare coralline island about 850 metres off Mauritius’s south-east coast. Its dry coastal forest shelters some of the last remnants of this habitat.

On the outing

The island and its reserve form a distinctive landmark in the bay. A guided landing is possible only when arranged with the reserve’s authorized operator.

The client has not confirmed whether this trip includes a landing. The map pin marks the island, not a boat approach or mooring.
