Mauritius Cruise Port

Recommended Posts

We are on a cruise which ends in Mauritius and we need to arrange a taxi transfer to a hotel on the far side of Mauritius.

 

I have read that not all taxis can go into the port area, so can anyone tell me how far it is to the port gate? We will have a fair amount of luggage, so are wondering if it will be possible to walk to the port gate, If our transfer taxi cannot enter the port.

We were in Port Louis last December after our cruise.

 

You are correct the taxis in the harbour area operate a closed shop by not allowing "foreign" in.

 

We had arranged a pickup, when you leave the "tent" turn to the right there is mshade and seats to wait for your taxi. The ship is on the right and the entrance to harbour is in the far right corner about 200 meters walk.

 

I would wait in the shade until you see your driver (you are in the tropics), I asked for a photo and descrption of the driver and car which I shoed to a policeman who then allowed the driver in.

 

Have a great cruise, I kno I did:

 

Seychelles - Paradise on earth, at least for a couple of days

Madagascar - Tanzania without safaris

Reunion - Sout of France, but more expensive.

Mauritius - Fabulous love every minute there.

Many thanks, G.M.T. sounds like the distance out of the port is not very far then. Good news, it sounds like the taxis in the port really wind up the charges and it will not be a cheap taxi ride for us as we are staying on the other side of the island.

 

I like your view of the ports in the area as well :)
