How to Reach Mauritius

Read about the best & quickest routes to save time & money, as suggested by our travelers

There are only two airports in Mauritius, Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport situated in P

laine Corail on Rodrigues and Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. Those wondering how to reach Mauritius from Delhi or Mumbai, then we are here to inform that SSR Airport is well connected via domestic and international flights. Emirates, Swiss, China Eastern flights, Air India, etc. are some of the major international airlines with connectivity to these airports.

To enjoy the road journey, one can reach the SSR Airport and take a bus to their

desired destination. Buses available from the airport are 09, 10, and 198. Land transport here includes bus, taxi and cars. The bus network is large in the country, spread across the entire island. There are 2 kinds of buses in Mauritius: standard and express. Express buses are air conditioned buses and have fewer stops on each route. The buses run between 5:30 am and 8 pm. On the countryside, which is less developed, timings are shorter and less reliable. Travelers may have to change a bus in order to reach their destination.

Taxi is also easily available on the island but are more expensive. One can take any of the two buses. Fare of express bus is a bit higher as it is air conditioned and faster than the standard bus. 

Besides boarding a flight or bus, one can also hop

on a cruise to reach Mauritius. Board a cruise to Port Louis from the ports of Mumbai or Chennai, or choose to take a boat ride to Mauritius from Madagascar, and have a luxurious experience. However, the cruise journey from Mumbai and Chennai can take approximately 12 or 13 days to reach the destination.

Veneetsi's 5 days trip to Mauritius

Regular Follow Up from the Agent even after the payment would be helpful. Would be good to include Currency Information as part of the proposal. Agent was polite and helpful (before and during the trip as well) Guides should allow to spend more time on better spots rather than rushing through. The DC representative did not provide information on available low cost travel options, and quoted significant taxi amounts even for a small journey. We managed to travel in 95% less amount than what was quoted to us by the DC with our own research. None of the activities are included as part of the package, and constitute significant additional cost in addition to the package cost. It would be helpful, if at least something is included, or an indication is provided on the estimated costs. Overall, we enjoyed the trip, with minor issues here and there.

Prathapmccall's 6 days trip to Mauritius

Though I had shared my experience about the booking experience with Travel Triangle, there was not even a courtesy acknowledgment mail received. Hence I do not want to waste my time on this any further.

Jyotsna's 5 days trip to Mauritius

Pocket friendly has some of the most unprofessional personnel. The lady who booked the trip was pleasant only till the full payment was made. There was no response from her. Luckily contact of another person named Deepak was provided who at least gave his best efforts. The itinerary provided was wrong and I had booked leisure activities on the basis of itinerary provided by the company. I came to find out about the change only after reaching Mauritius. On raising the issue, the personnel started accusing me instead of providing a solution leave alone apologising. Later they refunded part of my losses on account of their mistake. Will not recommend "pocket friendly vacation" to anyone till they get better customer support.
