Getting There

If you prefer not to walk, you can take a local taxi from anywhere in Pamplemousses. Simply request the driver to take you to the closest jetty to Serpent Island. The ride should be relatively short, and you can arrange with the driver to wait for you while you explore the island. Make sure to confirm the fare before starting your journey.
-
Local Bus
You can catch a local bus heading towards Triolet or Grand Baie from any bus stop in Pamplemousses. Inform the driver that you are going to the jetty for Serpent Island. Once you reach the bus stop near the coast, get off and follow the signs to the jetty. The bus is a cost-effective option, but be mindful of the bus schedule to avoid long waits.
