Grand Baie Getting there & around

Getting there & away

There are no direct buses to Grand Baie from the airport, so it’s necessary to change in Port Louis and you have to transfer between two bus stations to do so. Almost all people will have a transfer provided by their hotel and for others arriving after a 12-hour flight, we definitely suggest taking a cab – or better still, ordering one in advance via the hotel.

Express buses run directly between Immigration Square in Port Louis and Grand Baie every half-hour, terminating near Cyber Pirate on Royal Rd. Nonexpress buses en route to Cap Malheureux will also drop you in Grand Baie. Buses between Pamplemousses and Grand Baie leave roughly every hour.

For taxi rides from Grand Baie, expect to pay around Rs 200 to Trou aux Biches, Rs 500 to Port Louis and Rs 800 to the airport. A return trip to Pamplemousses, including waiting time, should set you back Rs 500 or so.
