Ile Aux Aigrettes

Just a 10 minute boat ride off the east coast of Mauritius is the small coral island of Ile Aux Aigrettes. This 25 hectare nature conservation site is home to a wide variety of original Mauritian nature, including the rare endemic ebony tree species. Rare animals include the pink pigeon, the Mauritius Kestrel, endangered skinks and of course not forgetting the giant tortoises.

It is worth noting that all revenues received from the tours and from the onsite gift shop are reinvested to be used for the continued preservation of the island.
