Water sports and leisure activities Port Sud-Est

Super-professional kite school run by Andy, who offers courses for all levels, long runs with sessions on small and big waves, speed sailing and introduction to foiling. With his boat, Andy also organizes activities for non-kiters: snorkeling sessions with or without a picnic on the southeastern islets, day trips to Cocos Island, traditional pirogue rides in the southern lagoon and even 24-hour excursions with bivouac, grills, drinks and overnight stay on Cat Island.

This is the best club on the island, created and run by Frenchman Jérôme Branellec: a benchmark on Rodrigues. It offers kiteboarding lessons for all levels, sailing on sandbanks and/or in the waves, long accompanied descents... There are also windsurfing courses, stand-up paddling (introductory and refresher courses, guided excursions) and wingfoil lessons. This highly professional center combines everything you need to practice, improve and have fun. Also equipment rental and storage, and purchase/sale at preferential prices.

Under the leadership of Youl, a trained and certified IKO instructor, this nomadic school takes place on the beach of Anse Mourouk and offers all types of training for beginners and advanced, and organized descents with a swimming break and BBQ. Equipment is provided by the center, but you can also bring your own equipment for a refresher course, advice, or simply benefit from a minimum of assistance (safety). The team can take care of the whole stay: booking of hotels, pensions, transfers, organization of excursions...

Directly opposite the spot, in a room by the beach, this club is run by Willy (IKO instructor) and his qualified team. It's open to all for introductions, sessions on reformed waves, advanced lessons (tricks, jumps) or foiling... Willy also organizes snorkeling, kite descents to Ile aux Chats or Ile Catherine, with one or more boats for safety and to take accompanying persons, with barbecue option, etc.

Founded in 1997, this serious and friendly club is located in the Rodrigues Marine Park. It has always been run by Benoît de Baize, a NAUI instructor who knows Rodrigues' underwater waters like the back of his hand and has even cleared a few spots that he reserves exclusively for his divers. A must in the area: exploration of the Grande Passe, one of the longest channels in the Indian Ocean, located almost opposite the club. Groups are small and safe, with a maximum of 6 divers per supervisor (4 for Level 1). Reservations recommended.

Renowned among divers and fans of underwater life, Couzoupa is the pearl of the Rodrigues Marine Park or Marine Biodiversity Conservation Project, a 35 km2 protected area in the heart of the lagoon of Port Sud-Est. Accessible by boat, it is the most beautiful natural aquarium of Rodrigues. Shallow, it abounds in corals, molluscs and reef fish, including rare species. From the silky lips of the clams to the massive Acropora, passing through fields of multicoloured corals foraged by swarms of sergeant majors, the spectacle is everywhere
