New blog post up all about the secret island of Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean. You won't believe how much there is to see and do on such a small island. The link is in my profile. ------------------------------------------------------ #secretRodrigues #rodriguesisland #rodrigues #rodriguestourism #setsail #seascape #IndianOcean
The giant tortoises on Rodrigues Island love having their necks stroked. There are thousands of them in this reserve. They wonder up to you and stick there necks out begging for a tickle - so cute! So sad to think that all bar one of the species of giant tortoises from the islands of the Indian Ocean were wipped out a great many years ago. The one survivor, the Aldabra, has, thank goodness, been saved. While not the same species that once lived here it is related and forefills the same role in the ecosystem of grazing and distributing seeds. ----------------------------------------------------- #SecretRodrigues #rodriguesisland #francoisleguat #rodriguestourism #IndianOcean #tortoise #wildlife #travellersnotebook
This is the beautiful nature reserve of Coco Island in the lagoon of Rodrigues. It took us an hour by boat to get here from the main island which shows just how big the lagoon is. #secretRodrigues #RodriguesIsland #beach #tropicalisland #beachlife #beaches #beachlover #beachlove

We had some wonderful food and drinks in Rodrigues. Being an island, it's no surprise that fish featured heavily on the menu. I've some great, really simple recipes I'll be sharing on my blog over the next few weeks. ---------------------------------------------------- #secretRodrigues #rodrigues #rodriguesisland #IndianOcean #lppathfinder #BGTW #travel #travelblogger #instatravel #travellersnotebook #travelpics #travelstory #travelphotographer #traveltheworld #traveladdict #globetrotter #travelbug #rodrigues #rodriguesisland #rodriguestourism #foodporn #delicious #seafood #fish #ipreview @preview.app
Loved exploring the Saturday market at Port Mathurin, the capital of Rodrigues Island. Best buys? Local honey and fresh fruit, in particular the small sweet green/yellow lemons that make a delicious and refreshing drink. ------------------------------------------------ #secretRodrigues #rodriguesisland #IndianOcean #lppathfinder #BGTW #travel #travelblogger #instatravel #travellersnotebook #travelpics #travelstory #travelphotographer #traveltheworld #traveladdict #globetrotter #travelbug #rodrigues #colourful #market #hats #rodriguesisland #rodriguestourism
A traditional fishing boat off the shores of Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean. Can you believe the colour of the sea? The water inside the lagoon made by the coral reef that surrounds the island is stunning. Fabulous swimming and snorkelling here. ---------------------------------------------------- #secretRodrigues #RodriguesIsland #IndianOcean #traveladdict #traveladdict #travel #travelpics #fishing #fishingboat #ocean #sea #traveltheworld #travelstory #traveldiary #beachlife #islandlife #globetrotter #global_ladies #travellersnotebook #rodriguesisland #rodriguestourism
Fascinating walk through the Caverne Patate (Sweet potato caves) here on Rodrigues Island. This is the view as you are leaving them. No one seemed to know how they got that name. There's also 'Cat Island' and 'Lemon Mountain'. No lemons on the mountain but there are cats on the island. ---------------------------------------------- #SecretRodrigues #travelblogger #IndianOcean #travelpics #traveladdict #travelstory #traveldiary #caves #caving #globetrotter #travelguide #traveldiaries #travellersnotebook #exploretheworld #sustainabletourism #RTTC #BGTW #rodriguesisland #rodriguestourism
Welcome to Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean. After a long flight and an early night I slept like a log and was up for sunrise. This is the beach at Saint Francois, just a couple of minutes walk from where I am staying. ----------------------------------------------- #secretRodrigues #rodrigues #rodriguesisland #travelblogger #travelpics #travelphotographer #instatravel #stfrancois #saintfrancois #traveltheworld #traveladdict #travelstory #traveldiary #beachlife #sunrise #islandlife #traveldiary #rodriguesisland #rodriguestourism
