Taxi

Taxis are easily available most places and are a quick and practical option for getting to the airport.

Regardless of what you decide, you should get information about how much the journey should cost around average from where you are and be prepared to haggle. If you’re coming from the nearby Mahebourg, taking a taxi might be a much more suitable option.

Bus

It’s possible to reach Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Airport with a bus from Port Louis. Taking the bus from Port Louis centre costs around 300 Mauritius rupi per passenger.

Another alternative is to take a taxi to the bus stop and then continue with taking the bus to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Airport.
