The scenic beach town of Goodlands in northern Mauritius makes for the perfect laidback holiday when you hire a scooter or motorcycle. Found just a short ride from the north's main airport, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International, Goodlands has a serene pace of life that instantly relaxes. Palm-backed white sand beaches, colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, and quaint local shops and restaurants all make it a heavenly tropical escape. Zipping along the coast on your rented motorbike allows you to find hidden coves and secluded stretches of beach where you might spot giant tortoises ambling along. Inland, the sugar cane fields and mountains of the Mauritian interior beckon adventure seekers to go off-roading and quad biking over the rugged volcanic terrain. The breathtaking waterfalls and jungle rivers around Henrietta provide a magical landscape to explore on an all-terrain vehicle rental. Back in Goodlands itself, don't miss the Tourism Information Centre which gives insight into the region's nature, history and culture. The bustling Goodlands market also offers a wonderfully vibrant slice of local Mauritian life. Nearby Grand Gaube and Cap Malheureux also warrant a visit to experience their own stretches of unspoiled beach and cozy seaside atmosphere. For a convenient home base, Goodlands' charming guesthouses and beachfront hotels provide comfort and hospitality. With a scooter, motorcycle or quad rented online and delivered on arrival, you'll have the freedom to fully experience Mauritius' beautiful north at your own pace.
