Riding an Electro-bike (electric power-assisted cycle) has the added advantage that you dont need to rely on your own pedal power! This leaves you more time to take in the magnificent scenery. All Electro-bike tours include an experienced guide and are supported by a safety vehicle. The maximum group size is 12 riders with helmets provided. Here are some of our favourites.
1. South coast and south-west coast Electro-bike tours
These Electro-bike rides both begin from Bel Ombre. The south coast ride is a full day option and heads to Souillac village and Gris-Gris cliffs at La Nef with a delicious lunch from a local resident – an unforgettable piece of local hospitality. The south-west tour is a shorter half-day option and heads through traditional coastal villages, seeing colourful characters and the pretty fishing village of Le Morne.
