It depends where you are going to locate yourself. Whilst using taxi is fine, you have to realise there may be some taxi drivers who are likely to over charge you as a foreigner

Come on veek, advertising your services is not allowed on the forums !

Karin, you can find a few contacts here: taxi services in mauritius

Hello as a citizen of Mauritius this is my advice if this is not your first trip having a rental car 🚗 is the best easy to get from a and b a cab 🚕 now a day will cost u unless u know people who can drive you

Have you been there before??

Using the bus services should be good enough during the daytime Karin.

Make sure that you do not take a risk with time and try grab the bus by 16.30 latest (although some run till 7pm, some areas are not serviced beyond 5-6pm).

My reference is with regards to the North of Mauritius, although I think there's a bigger bus-service in Port Louis (which feels kind of congested).

As far as taxis go, I think the marked ones charge Rs.150 (about 60 rand) or more for short journeys.

By contrast, a bus trip will cost about Rs. 15 - 30
