Whether you want to learn or are an advanced rider, Le Morne is renowned for being one of the best destinations worldwide to perfect your kitesurfing abilities. All our recommended instructors and coaches are IKO certified.
Surfing is also rooted in the area and we are connected to many teachers or surf coaches from Tamarin Bay to the South.
For advanced surfers, we still recommend a coach as it is the best way to avoid any local confrontation.
You can also book a boat ride that will take you to uncrowded spots.
If you are looking to buy or rent one, Down South surf shop is 2 minutes away down the road.
There you will meet our friend David, the shop owner, a real waterman, who knows exactly which board would match your level/style to the waves and spots that you are planning to ride. His brother Daniel is the only Mauritian shaper, and owner of Santosha Surfboards & Apparel.

The endemic fauna & flora changes drastically from sea level to the higher plates of Plaine Champagne!

Chez Pierre Paul, Palais de Barbizon, Le Chamarel Restaurants are a few good amongst them.
