Getting Around Mauritius

It's the question people most underestimate before leaving: how do you get around once you're there? Mauritius isn't very big — an hour and a half is enough to cross the island — but without a bit of planning, you can end up losing time and money on every trip.

The short answer: if you want freedom, rent a car. If you'd rather not drive, combine private transfers with organised excursions. Buses exist too, but they require patience. We break down every option with real prices and the pitfalls to avoid.
