JO COOL LE BATELIER

Known throughout Rodrigues, he is the island's oldest boatman still in business, a colorful character and above all a kind-hearted person who, in lilting Creole, passes on his gentle philosophy of life for the duration of the crossing. Once you arrive on the island, you can savour the dishes prepared by Jo Cool and his family, visit, swim and soak up the extraordinary magic of this unspoilt site - the same magic shared on the outward journey and on the return journey in the intimacy of the pirogue when Jo Cool tells us all about Rodrigues.
