Travel and transport agencies Port Mathurin

Air Mauritius is the only airline operating between Mauritius and Rodrigues, 2 to 5 times a day depending on the season. The weight of luggage is limited to 15 kg, but the company generally grants a tolerance of a few kilos to each passenger. It is important to book well in advance as the ATR72 has only 66 seats - beware of busy months such as December, January, February, April, July and August. Some hotels have seat quotas, so don't hesitate to go through them for a flight + stay package.

The station is located at the bus station but you can also call a driver from the four corners of the island. Practical, the application of the tourist office, Discover Rodrigues (to be downloaded absolutely), references the coordinates of most of the cabs: phone numbers and email addresses with immediate booking possible(Book/Réservermaintenant). The classification is proposed by regions, with several choices each time. In addition to transfers, most drivers offer their services for half-day and/or full-day tours of the island.

Since 2014, the Mauritius Pride, whose weekly arrival was awaited like the messiah, no longer shuttles and links between Port-Louis and Port-Mathurin, which is not without serious supply problems. The only ship to link the two islands to date is the Mauritius Trochetia, a cargo and cruise ship that travels the islands of the Indian Ocean including Reunion, Mauritius and Rodrigues. With a capacity of 112 passengers, it has about fifty cabins, a reading room, restaurants and a cinema.

2000 Tours is a serious incoming agency. In addition to renting cars and 4x4s with free delivery anywhere on the island, it can book and organize all types of activities and rides, including day cruises with lunch to the different islands. It also offers a discovery of the different coasts and facets of the island during half-day or full-day excursions with a driver-guide - see detailed description and rates online. The agency can also take care of transfers and accommodation

It is the main bus station of the island, where most of the traffic is concentrated. It is lined with small Creole-style kiosks where street vendors sell snacks and handicrafts. From 5:30am, buses leave to serve the main corners of the island, at relatively regular times but rarely later than 6pm. Practical advice: for hiking, it can be interesting to be dropped off by bus in the heights, for example at Mont Lubin, and then to go back down to the coast by foot
