Getting There and Away By sea

The ship "Mauritius Pride" runs regular trips from Mauritius. Tourists are not expected to go by ship and first class cabins are difficult as they are usually taken up by officials. There is also second-class. The voyage takes two days from Mauritius to Rodrigues but only one day for the return.
Rodrigues Island

Rodrigues, 18 kms long by 8 kms wide, is set in the monochrome blue of a typical postcard scene representing some 200 square kilometres of lagoon. Rodrigues is remote, a part of Mauritius but 550km further east and covers 108sq km, the size of the British Channel Island of Jersey. The coral reef is as far away as 7 kms in some parts. Rodrigues is the smallest of the Mascarenes and of the most recent volcanic origin (some 1½ million years ago). It is surrounded by 14 satellite islets.
