The island has a lot of history so a visit to many of the main sugar cane museums and houses is recommended, we traveled all around the island on the coast road and got a proper feel for the lifestyle of the local people.

Definitely rent a car in Mauritius, it's easy to get around and enables you to go and see all the wonderful places this country has to offer. If using google maps add on extra time to your journey as the roads are small and people drive slowly.
