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

Spend roughly 2 hours on a guided off-road buggy tour through Bel Ombre Nature Reserve, using a buggy ride to navigate dirt tracks and changing terrain that standard vehicles cannot access. Your guide sets the pace and direction, so you can focus on the ride and surroundings.
