What to expect

Bel Ombre Nature Reserve

Across this guided Bel Ombre Nature Reserve buggy tour, you follow off-road tracks through native landscapes, with your expert local guide leading the way. The route includes dedicated wildlife stops and time to swim at Hirondelles Waterfall and L'Exemple natural rock pool.

Features
