(express) East to St-Benoît via St-André (€3.50, one hour, about 15 daily, three
on Sunday).
CAR & MOTORCYCLE
There's not much point in having a car in St-Denis unless you're using it as a base to ex-
plore the rest of the island. If that's the case, you can either pick a car up at the airport or
avoid paying the airport surcharge (around €26) by having it delivered to your hotel. For

FERRY
St-Denis' ferry terminal is at Le Port, located 20km west of St-Denis.
Getting Around
St-Denis is relatively small and getting around the centre on foot is a breeze.
TO/FROM THE AIRPORT
Taxis between St-Denis and Roland Garros International Airport cost around €20 during
the day and €30 at night. Cheaper and almost as convenient is the regular Navette Aéro-
port service, which runs from L'Océan bus terminal to the airport about once an hour
between 6.30am and 6pm (between 6am and 6.15pm coming from the airport). The fare is
€4 and the journey takes a minimum of 20 minutes.
TO/FROM LE PORT
The terminal for passenger ferries to Mauritius is in Le Port, 20km west of St-Denis.
There are no bus services direct to the terminal. All nonexpress buses between St-Denis
and St-Pierre stop at the bus station in Le Port, from where locally operated buses depart
roughly every 30 minutes for the Gare Maritime, Port Est. You're better off splashing out
on a taxi (€45 from St-Denis).
There is a small information desk at the ferry terminal, open for arrivals, but no other
facilities for tourists. Taxis wait on arrival.
