All year round
Despite the island of Rodrigues being so narrow, measuring just 11 miles long by 5 miles wide as it does, its inland region is also worth exploring as it gives you the chance to see its coastline from a different perspective. Mount Limon, which at 1,305 ft is the highest point on the island, can be climbed in just 15 minutes: no need to be a sporty, outdoor type to reach the summit of this particular hill. Superb panoramic views of the whole island await you at the top.
Don't forget to take your camera with you when you do this walk. Furthermore, and for the chance to enjoy an unforgettable experience during your stay on Rodrigues, I recommend climbing up to the summit of Mount Limon just before sunset. The views over the island at that time of day are spectacular and simply impossible to fully describe in words: you really have to see them for yourself to appreciate them!
