François Leguat Reserve

François Leguat Reserve is in the southwest of Rodrigues at Anse Quitor. The reserve’s own site describes a restored natural area with giant tortoises, native plants and birdlife, together with access to Grande Caverne, a limestone cave fitted with walkways and lighting. A museum covers the natural history of Rodrigues, adding context to the landscape and conservation work. Visitors can explore the reserve through guided tours rather than wandering independently through sensitive areas.

The operator lists guided visits at set times and says the site is open daily. Check the current schedule before travelling, because tours depart at specific times and may affect how long you need to plan. This attraction suits travellers who want a guided wildlife and geology experience on Rodrigues, including families and visitors interested in conservation. Allow time for the reserve, cave and museum, and follow the guide’s directions around animals and protected habitats.
