Getting Around
Car
Outside cities, renting a car gives unmatched flexibility and convenience. Cars can be hired in major towns and at
the airports. Drive on the left in Seychelles and Mauritius; on the right in Réunion.
Air
Pricey but efficient. Most convenient services are between Mauritius and Rodrigues and between Mahé and Praslin.
Boat
The preferred mode of inter-island transport in the Seychelles. Fast, reliable but quite expensive.
Bus
Very cheap. In all three countries, getting around by public transport is possible but sometimes complicated and
rather slow.
Taxi
In some cases hiring a taxi is a great way to explore an area, especially if you can share costs with other travellers.
