Choose a scenic hike or an adventurous quad route to Mauritius’ dramatic natural bridge, then linger over lunch.<\/p>\n

Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas now offers a guided journey to Pont Naturel, the island’s wind-shaped natural bridge. Guests select a pace that suits them \u2014 either a coastal hike rich in geology and flora or a quad bike route with open-air thrills \u2014 followed by a rustic picnic-style lunch overlooking the basalt cliffs. The experience highlights the southeast’s volcanic coastline while keeping operations light touch. Guides set an unhurried rhythm, share safety briefings, and curate viewpoints for photographs without crowding sensitive edges.<\/p>\n

“Pont Naturel is a study of the forces that shaped Mauritius. Whether you arrive on foot or by quad, the sound of surf against the basalt and the open horizon make lunch taste that little bit better,” said Daniel M\u00e9ndez, General Manager, Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas.<\/p>\n

The Journey, Step by Step<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Briefing and route choice: select the hike or quad route based on fitness, comfort, and conditions.
\n\u2022 On the trail: learn about coastal flora, birdlife, and the basalt formations that define the site.
\n\u2022 Cliffside lunch: a picnic menu of Mauritian flavours with chilled juices and fresh fruit.
\n\u2022 Return at ease: an unhurried journey back with optional photo stops.<\/p>\n

What Is Included<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Experienced guide and safety briefing
\n\u2022 Picnic-style lunch with soft drinks and water
\n\u2022 Required safety gear for the quad route
\n\u2022 Transfers from the resort<\/p>\n

Thoughtful by Design<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Wildlife first: timing and routing respect marine life, nesting seasons, and local guidelines. Viewing is always non-intrusive and at respectful distances.
\n\u2022 Low impact service: no single-use plastics where practical, refillable glass and reef-safe sunscreen are encouraged.
\n\u2022 Local stories: hosts share history, culture, and nature notes that bring each site to life.<\/p>\n

Operating Notes<\/h2>\n

Duration 3 to 5 hours, depending on route and conditions. Suitable footwear required. Weather dependent. Age and licence requirements apply for quad biking. The site is exposed to wind and spray, so light layers are recommended.<\/p>\n

Reservations<\/h2>\n
