The best way to travel during your honeymoon in Mauritius is by car, and you can choose to either rent one or hire a private car with a driver. Hiring a private car with a driver for the entire trip can cost around $100-$150 per day, while renting a car can be cheaper, costing between $25-$40 per day. If you prefer to use public transport, bus fares in Mauritius cost around $1. Driving distances between destinations can range between 15-170 km and average driving times are approximately 1-2 hours, depending on your starting point and destination.
