About the Buggy by Night Trip

If you are looking for a unique, fun nature activity to experience in Mauritius, this buggy activity is for you.

Come and discover the Rusa deers and other animals in their natural habitat. In the evening when the sun sets, the forest belongs to them. The Java Rusa deer was introduced in Mauritius in 1631 by the Dutch. To get a glimpse of their world, you’ll be guided to their abode without disturbing them.

Upon your arrival at the Reserve, you will be greeted with a welcome cocktail by the warm staff. After a test drive and a security briefing, you will be ready to hop aboard a buggy and travel through the 1200 hectares of the nature reserve, subtly illuminated to highlight the exciting nocturnal atmosphere in which the resident animals come alive.

Go for an amusing night excursion at the Domaine with your family or among friends to enjoy an adrenaline-filled ride through the green hills, mountains, ponds and rivers of the nature reserve. The buggy is equipped with a special lamp to not only light up your path but also help you catch a glance of these creatures at night. As you ride through the reserve, discover deer, boars, hares and many more nocturnal creatures.

Experience an unforgettable, buggy adventure at nightfall as you cruise through the Etoile Reserve.

As part of the Buggy by Night activity, the following is included:

• Welcome cocktail
• Test drive & security briefing
• Sanitary caps with helmets
• 1-hour guided buggy drive through the reserve
• Mineral Water during the tour
• Refreshing towel after tour
