Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Bus
From your current location in Pointe aux Piments, head to the nearest bus stop along the coastal road (Royal Road). Look for a bus heading towards Port Louis or Quatre Bornes. The bus will typically display the destination on its front. Ask the driver to drop you at the nearest stop to Black River Gorges National Park. This might require you to transfer buses at some point, so make sure to check the route with the driver or locals.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can hail a local taxi. Provide the driver with the address: B103 - Plaine Champagne Road, and mention that you want to go to Black River Gorges National Park. Ensure you agree on a fare before starting your journey, as taxis do not have meters.
Walking
For the adventurous, if you are close to a bus stop, you can walk to it and catch a bus as mentioned above. However, if you are close enough to the park, you may consider taking a scenic walk along the coastal road towards the south. It is advisable to use a reliable map or GPS application to navigate, as the walk can take several hours and may not be suitable for everyone.
