It may only take an hour to cross the entire island, but prepare to stop along the way to soak in the beauty of Mauritius. We recommend a visit to Trou aux Cerfs, a volcanic crater at 605m above sea level in the center of the island. Chase endless waterfalls spread across the island and picnic in Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden in Pamplemousses to learn about the local flora. No matter where you choose to explore, take control over how you spend your day with the convenience of a car rental in Mauritius.
