About the Guided Motorbike Ride in Mauritius - Tours & Bikes

This motorbike adventure offers you an incredible time discovering the true beauty of Mauritius through a nature tour. Riding a motorbike while you feel the adrenaline pumping is a real thrill for the senses.

With this package, Mauritius Attractions allows you to tour Mauritius island on two-wheels with utmost excitement. There’s a range of tours & bikes on offer - and the choice is all yours! In addition, you may even have a personalised itinerary. You will be able to choose the itinerary you prefer from these 3 options:

Option 1: The Biker's Sunday (200 Km)

A trip through the south and southwest of the island with the best it has to offer.

The Biker's Sunday consists mainly of coastal roads with some well-known photo stops, from the World Heritage site of Le Morne Brabant to the Marine Reserve of Blue Bay and across the twisty mountain roads of Chamarel leading to the ritual site of Ganga Talao. ‍This itinerary is where you’ll find most of the bikers that are out for a spin during the weekends.

Option 2: To the Old Capital (250 Km)

Very similar to the first option, with a twist. Taking a slightly different route on the mountain roads through a forest of high trees, you return to the first route in Chamarel.

After leaving Blue Bay, you continue along the East coast, passing the picturesque old town of Mahébourg and then the old capital, Vieux Grand Port, which dates back to Dutch times.

You will then head for Pointe du Diable, overlooking the site of a historic naval battle, the story of which is still featured on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Option 3: The Better Half (270 Km)

Start off this tour like the previous two options, following the coast line proceeding to the wild South and then to the even more remote East.

The area feels like it was lost in time, through small fishermen villages and where sometimes, the only thing between sugar cane fields and the sea is the road! From the furthest stop, near the Bras d'Eau National Park, you will cross the island - including a few kilometres on the highway - and then arrive at the old town of Curepipe. From there, you will return to the coast by mountain roads and the unique Chamarel.
