Sights to See with Your Car Rental Mauritius

It only takes an hour and a half to drive across the island, so you can be sure there is not too long of a drive back to your hotel. From Port Louis you can drive your car rental easily to most parts of the island, including the tourist area of Grand Baie on the northern coast, and the Black River Gorges National Park in the south. Mauritius is known for its stunning white sand beaches, and whilst you visit you can also try your hand at sports such as surfing and water-skiing.
