A part un devis rapidement envoyé, aucun suivi. Sur place, il a fallu que je relance moi-même pour savoir si notre vol était confirmé pour le lendemain. Bref, la prochaine fois, je me passerai de leur service.

Avis du 19/04/2024 , suite à une expérience du 11/10/2024 par GÉRARD S.

En ce qui concerne le voyage et l'organisation avec CREOLIA sur place c'était parfait; Par contre il faut que l'hôtel AMBRE améliore un certain nombre de choses. Nous en avons fait part sr place et je tiens que grâce à URSULE qui était chargée de l'accueil au restaurant INDIGO et de SHEILA et aussi ZAINA notre séjour a été formidable. Il convient de le signaler à l'hôtel car ce sont des personnes de grandes qualités. Ainsi nous avons retrouver des amis (ies)et nous avons désormais des relations de suivi. Nous reviendrons les voir.

Jeanne qui s'est occupée de mon dossier a été très impliquée et patiente avec moi. Elle a su gérer du début à la fin toutes les formalités jusqu'à l'enregistrement pour le retour. Elle a été bienveillante et très professionnelle, je vais la regretter pour les prochains séjours 😊

Avis du 17/04/2024 , suite à une expérience du 06/04/2024 par ROMAIN I.

Tarif compétitif. Voyage bien personnalisé et organisé à distance. Petit point à améliorer : c’est de rassurer les nouveaux clients, en attendant pas la dernière minute pour nous transmettre le carnet de voyage. Cependant tout est super, application très pratique mais pas forcément à jour en cas de retard ou annulation d’un vol. Merci !

Très bonne organisation, mais au retour de mon voyage j’ai fait un mail détaillé de mes nombreux déboires à l’hôtel Long beauch à belle mare, hélas resté sans réponses. Décevant comme comportement, j’aurais aimé partager cette expérience afin que l’agence ne continue pas à proposer cet hôtel.

Travel guide to Mauritius

book hotel mauritius

An islander once told Mark Twain that “ Mauritius was made first and then heaven; and heaven was copied after Mauritius”. Its miles of palm-fringed sandy beaches, almost entirely encircled by coral reefs, offer sanctuary for those who want to spend days lounging on the beach. The crystal clear waters are perfect for diving, snorkelling, swimming, kayaking and that’s just the beginning. What makes Mauritius different is that it has so much to offer beyond the beach. Whether it’s skydiving out of a plane, hiking through the mountains and National Parks or soaking up the culture, this is truly a destination with something for everyone. The islands’ Dutch, French and British legacy is reflected in colonial mansions and botanical gardens, while hospitable locals of African, Indian and Chinese heritage give the island an authentic feel, with colourful markets and temples, fusion cuisine, and the sashaying séga.

TRAVEL GUIDE TO MAURITIUS: BEST TIME TO VISIT

Mauritius benefits from a mild climate all year round with an average temperature of 25ºC (77°F) and a pleasant water temperature suitable for swimming both during summer and winter. Almost all activities you are looking forward to do during your holidays can be made at any time of the year. However, the most agreeable times to visit the island are from April to June and from September to December to avoid the peak of summer and winter, the only two seasons in Mauritius.

  • Summer  in Mauritius lasts from October to April, with sunlight from 5:30 am to 7 pm at the peak of the season. The heat peaks combined with a high degree of humidity, are felt from December to February, while periods of heavy rainfall are expected in February and March. The Indian Ocean records a cyclonic activity relatively intense each year during this season, but Mauritius, with its small size, is often spared (although there’s always a chance a storm may hit the island). Diving and deep-sea fishing enthusiasts will opt for this time to travel to Mauritius. It is also tropical fruit season, take the opportunity to taste litchis, mangoes, dragon-eye fruit and other delicious local fruits available on the market stalls.
  • Winter  in Mauritius is rather mild with an average temperature of around 22°C (71°F). The nights are cooler and the hours of sunlight range from 6:45 to 17:35 during the peak of winter. The months of July and August are the windiest for the greatest pleasure of surfers, kite surfers and windsurfers. The winter sky in the evening is wonderful in Mauritius, perfect for stargazing and watch the Perseids, the annual rendezvous of shooting star enthusiasts in August.

Mauritius also has a  microclimate  with different temperatures and climatic conditions depending on the region. The center of the island located on a high plateau, benefits from cooler temperatures and higher rainfall than the coastal zones. There may be a 3 to 5 degree difference between these regions. The North and West of the island are warmer and drier while the East is constantly under the influence of the south-eastern winds, which can be very strong in winter.

TRAVEL GUIDE TO MAURITIUS: HOW TO GET THERE

Most travelers arrive in  Mauritius via Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, the main gateway to the island destination. Several airlines now offer direct flights between Mauritius and Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia , including Air France, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Emirates, Saudi, turkish Airlines,  and Mauritius’ national proud, its flagship carrier Air Mauritius. Click  here for a continuously updated list of airlines that offer direct flights to Mauritius.

Before you buy a plane ticket, consider reading my  tips & tricks for buying the cheapest plane ticket .  

TRAVEL GUIDE TO MAURITIUS: ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Requirements for entry in Mauritius differ from country to country, and are subject to change. Prior to departure, always check with your government and your nearest Mauritian embassy or consulate what documents you need for travel to Mauritius. Some important points:

  • Most passport holders from the EU, Asia and USA don’t need a visa to enter Mauritius. On arrival, your passport will be stamped allowing entry to the country for 60 days. You’ll need to be able to provide evidence of onward or return travel.
  • If you are visiting Mauritius, your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay. No additional period of validity beyond this is required. It should have at least one blank passport page.

Make sure you read my  10 tips to plan a worry-free trip .

TRAVEL GUIDE TO MAURITIUS: GETTING AROUND

Do you want to take advantage of your holidays in Mauritius to explore the island? There are several ways to get around by car, with or without a driver, in a van or on a bike. Taxis are available outside the hotel or through the concierge, you can also opt for public transport as well.

  • If you want to discover the island by yourself at your own pace, the best thing is to rent a car, a scooter or a bicycle , depending on the distance to travel, and to bring a map or a GPS. The rental prices are quite affordable. Always keep in mind that driving is on the left-hand side in Mauritius, and the priority is given to those coming from the right. Do not hesitate to ask people on the road if you do not find your way!
  • Local tourist operators can organise excursions across the island and sea trips to the islets surrounding Mauritius; the journey will be done by bus or car depending on the number of people. Taxis also offer day packages to visit different regions, above normal trips. Taxis are found at the hotel, at the airport and on the various dedicated parking areas in towns and villages, close to the bus stations.
  • Those who want to immerse themselves in Mauritian life and make encounters, try at least once to travel by public bus . Almost all the main routes of the island are served by the different bus companies operating in Mauritius. In town, the operating hours are from 5:30 am to 8:30 pm and in rural areas from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. Before going out, check the operating hours of the buses in the region at the reception or with your host.
  • A helicopter ride will be perfect for a more special trip. Besides the tours to see Mauritius from above, the companies operating in Mauritius, Air Mauritius and Corail Helicoptères, offer the airport/hotel/airport route, provided that the resort in which you are staying has a helipad.

TRAVEL GUIDE TO MAURITIUS: INSPIRATION, HIGHLIGHTS & TRAVEL TIPS

There are many reasons why  Mauritius  should be on your bucket list:

  • Staying at a five star resort
  • Visiting the capital city Port Louis
  • Relaxing on the island’s dreamy beaches

TRAVEL GUIDE TO MAURITIUS: SUGGESTED ITINERARIES 

Most travelers will stay in Mauritious for a week, being pampered in a luxury hotel of their choice. If you are more into exploring the island, two weeks is long enough to experience the best Mauritius has to offer, from its celebrated beaches and islands to the historic capital, varied wildlife and wide assortment of watersports. In case you have enough time, I recommend to spend part of your trip in the North, the West & Southwest, and the East & Southeast

Thanks a lot. I am planning to visit Mauritius this year.

Thank you so much! We are going back to SA and Botswana in 2024 and want to tag Mauritius on to the end of the safari. Are there many flights (eg AF-we have miles with them) or others and how long is the flight? Which of the 5 stars would you recommend May/June timeframe with great food, snorkeling, , beaches, wildlife that won’t break the bank for the week. I saw you had a review on Lux which looked interesting. The Oberoi’s beach/ocean swimming didn’t look that inviting. Love your utube channel and follow all your trips.

I can’t wait for the amazing experiences that await us in Mauritius this year! Your travel guide was so helpful in showing us what to look forward to, and I know that our family trip is going to be truly epic. Thank you so much for all your recommendations!

Mauritius Travel Tips: Know Before You Go

Latest update: July 24, 2023

Here you’ll find all our tips for booking your trip to Mauritius as well as practical travel tips for your time there.

We were in Mauritius for three weeks and explored all the corners of the island for you.

This post contains all our practical travel tips for your vacation in Mauritius.

You’ll find all our tips for booking your trip to Mauritius as well as practical travel tips for your time there.

What to do in Mauritius? The most beautiful beaches in Mauritius

Who is Mauritius perfect for as a destination?

For many people, Mauritius is the honeymoon destination par excellence and in fact we met many couples spending their honeymoon there.

But Mauritius isn’t just for newlyweds. Mauritius is an ideal destination for people who love dream beaches, because there the island is full of them.

Mauritius is also a great destination for everyone who wants to combine their beach vacation with a bit of sightseeing and culture.

Mauritius has a lot to offer in this regard: colorful temples, huge waterfalls, evergreen national parks, and old colonial buildings. So let’s get one thing straight: Mauritius is definitely very diverse!

The best time to travel to Mauritius

Mauritius is a good destination all year round. Since Mauritius is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are different from ours. The Mauritian summer coincides with our winter, and vice versa.

But it’s warm and sunny on Mauritius all year round. Even in the coldest months from June to August, temperatures still reach 26 to 28 degrees during the day.

The best time to travel and the peak season for Mauritius is between September and December , when it’s mostly unpleasant and cold back home.

In Mauritius, you can then expect relatively constant daytime temperatures around 30 degrees and the risk of rain showers is relatively low.

European spring from April to June is also a good time to travel. During this time, it’s somewhat cooler in Mauritius than during the peak season from September to December. But then the island isn’t as crowded and the prices for hotels are considerably cheaper.

We were in Mauritius from the end of May to the middle of June and enjoyed bright sunshine and pleasant temperatures almost every day. It hardly ever rained.

There’s a big difference between the east coast and the west coast during this time. Since the wind usually comes from the east, this side is a lot more unpleasant outside the main season and there’s significantly more rainfall than in the west of the island.

In the period from January to March you have to be prepared for more rainy days in Mauritius than in the rest of the year. It’s still warm though. During European summer from the end of June to mid-August, temperatures in Mauritius are at their lowest.

Of course it’s still pleasant enough with daytime temperatures of around the 25 degrees, but it might be a bit cooler than at home.

Booking a vacation in Mauritius

If you want to travel to Mauritius, you have to choose between different options when booking. Either you book your flight and your accommodation separately or you book a package vacation.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages. When you choose a package vacation, you don’t have to worry about a thing and can benefit from cheap package deals.

But if you book separately, you also have the option of trying out different hotels in Mauritius and you can also choose from a wider range of places to stay.

We’ve put together all the information and tips to help you find the option that works best for you.

Flights to Mauritius

The number of direct flights from Europe to Mauritius is still pretty limited.

A very interesting option is flying with the Arabic airline Emirates . Emirates offers daily flies to Mauritius from several European cities.

If you don’t like long-distance flights, then Emirates is the best option for you, as the flight time of approximately 12 hours is split up into two approximately equal flights of about 6 hours.

Plus you also have the interesting option of taking a longer stopover in Dubai on the inbound or outbound flight to explore the sights of Dubai for a few days.

Current prices for Emirates flights to Mauritius

Booking a package vacation to Mauritius

If you just want to enjoy your vacation without having to deal with booking a flight, a place to stay, or transfer from the airport, then a package deal is a good choice.

There a are a lot of good offers from major European tour operators.

Where to stay in Mauritius: Our tips

The selection of hotels in Mauritius is pretty huge. There are a lot of luxury hotels on the island that really leave nothing to be desired. Of course, they come with a price tag attached, but you generally get what you pay for.

We tested a number of hotels in Mauritius ourselves and want to recommend one hotel per price category in this post.

Pure luxury: The Residence

There are a great many luxury hotels on the east coast of Mauritius, among them The Residence. We were there for three days and absolutely loved it: very nice rooms, excellent service, very good food, and simply an absolute all-round feel-good feeling.

The hotel has its price, but in this case it’s really justified. If you want to treat yourself, the Residence gives you the perfect opportunity to do so.

Belle Mare Beach

Mid-range: Veranda Pointe aux Biches Hotel

“Welcome to your new home.” These were the warm words that welcomed us to the Veranda Pointe aux Biches Hotel in the northwest of Mauritius. And in fact we felt very welcome and felt very much at home here.

The rooms are new and spacious, the staff is super-friendly, and the beach is also beautiful. The hotel definitely offers great value for money.

Cheap: Mystik Life Style Hotel

The Mystik Life Style Hotel in the north of the island is a very cheap but good hotel. The hotel is new and very modern. And at that price, you certainly can’t complain.

Mystik Life Style Hotel

What can you do in Mauritius?

Of course you can just easily spend your entire vacation in Mauritius by the beach or pool. This that would be a shame, because Mauritius has more to offer.

Sights and attractions in Mauritius

Mauritius has surprisingly many sights. Since this post would be bursting at its seams if we were to list them all here, we’ve written a more in-depth post where we give you the low-down on all the sights.

Read our post: Our highlights & must-see sights in Mauritius

Activities in Mauritius

Mauritius is an excellent destination for water sports. There are also some very good surf spots in Mauritius. The most famous are Tamarin Bay in the west of the island, and Le Morne in the southwest.

You can also rent out kayaks or stand-up paddles at many hotels in Mauritius.

The underwater landscape of Mauritius is also very worthwhile, so divers and snorkelers will definitely get their money’s worth.

There are some exciting offers for exploring the underwater world of Mauritius, which can all be booked online:

Practical travel tips for your Mauritius travel planning

A post about the best travel tips for Mauritius wouldn’t be complete without practical information for preparing your vacation.

What should you to pack for Mauritius?

Even though it’s warm all year round, you should still make sure to take a warm sweater and long pants. Especially during the off-season from April to August, it can get a bit cooler in the evenings.

Mauritius uses a different power outlet system to most of Europe. Most hotels offer adapters or have also installed standard European outlets in addition to the Mauritian ones. But just to be on the safe side, we still recommend packing a travel adapter .

Sunscreen is also really important. Especially during the peak travel season from September to December, the sun blazes down on Mauritius, and as a pale European you’re very likely to catch a sunburn. You can get sunscreen everywhere on the island, but it’s much more expensive than at home.

Mosquitoes can be a real plague in Mauritius. Especially in the national parks, there are lots of mosquitoes all year round. Malaria or dengue fever aren’t a danger in Mauritius, but mosquito bites are annoying nevertheless. Mosquito repellent is useful in any case, but you can just as easily buy it locally.

Apart from that, there’s nothing special you need for Mauritius. We recommend taking a look at our list of what to pack for Southeast Asia where we show you what we packed on our journeys through Asia. Since the climate in Mauritius is very similar, you can pretty much use the same list.

Money and travel expenses in Mauritius

The official currency in Mauritius is the Mauritian Rupee (MUR). The exchange rate is pretty much exactly 40 MUR to 1 euro. Of course you can find ATMs at the airport and in the larger cities.

Make sure to take a credit card with no foreign transaction fees so you can withdraw money worldwide for free.

Mauritius isn’t a cheap country to visit. You can easily spend a small fortune on the island, but you don’t have to. It’s certainly possible to have a cheap vacation in Mauritius.

To give you an idea of common prices, here’s a short overview:

  • Bottle of water (1.5 l) = 20-30 MUR (0.50 to 0.75 euros)
  • Bus ticket = approx. 30 MUR (0.75 euros)
  • Gas (1l) = approx. 40 MUR (1 euro)
  • Simple, local food = 120 to 240 MUR (3 to 6 euros)
  • Western food = 200 to 600 MUR (5 to 15 euros)

Currency in Mauritius

Tipping in Mauritius

Tipping never used to be all that common in Mauritius. But thanks to all the tourists, it’s becoming more commonplace and a tip is always welcome.

In many hotels you have the possibility to put a tip into a staff tip box, where the tips are shared out among the employees. Of course you’re still free to give individual employees a personal tip if you want.

Taxis and guides are also happy for a tip, as are waiters at the restaurants.

How to get from the airport to your hotel

If you booked your vacation as a package deal, you generally don’t have to worry about your transfer because you’ll be picked up straight from the airport.

If you booked your hotel yourself, there are several ways to get from the airport to the hotel:

Hotel transfer service:  Most hotels offer their own transfer service. Just ask at your hotel. In our experience, hotel transfer services are always the most expensive so we never use them.

Taxi:  You can catch a taxi at the airport. Taxis in Mauritius don’t have meters, i.e. you have to negotiate the price with the driver before you leave.

Book a transfer online:  You can also always book your transfer online. We did it too, and everything went perfectly. Your driver will be there waiting for you holding up a sign and will take you directly to your hotel.

You can book a transfer here

Renting a car in Mauritius

The best way to explore Mauritius on your own is to rent a car. We did that ourselves and were absolutely satisfied.

But watch out: Traffic in Mauritius is on the left-hand side. That means the steering wheel is on the right side of the car, the gear shift is on the left, and the levers for turn signals and windshield wipers are reversed. At first, we always turned on the windshield wiper when we wanted to use the turn signal. But we got the hang of it after a while. Hehe.

If you’re not used to driving on the left-hand side, then we recommend renting a car with an automatic transmission. That way, you won’t have to worry about switching gears on the wrong side and can fully concentrate on steering the car.

Be careful in roundabouts, because you enter and leave them the other way round than you do back home. Sometimes it can also be confusing that many roundabouts are multi-lane and you have to take a different lane depending on the exit you want to take. But you get used to it quickly.

Traffic on Mauritius is generally pretty leisurely and outside the cities the roads are usually deserted. You can drive 40 kph in towns, 90 outside, and 110 on the freeway. You should stick to the speed limits because speed traps are set up all over the place.

An international driving license isn’t required for Mauritius. You can just use you driver’s license from back home.

Information and travel tips for your time there

To round off our travel tip post, we have some information for your time in Mauritius.

Eating and drinking in Mauritius

Mauritian cuisine is characterized by the influences of many immigrants. There are Chinese, Indian, and African influences. Of course, being an island, fish is one of the main items on the menu.

Curries served with fish, meat, or vegetables are typical for Mauritian cuisine. But compared to Indian and Asian curries, we didn’t like the curry dishes on Mauritius as much. But they’re not bad either.

Bread, butter, and a green chili paste are served as an appetizer. The chili paste is very tasty, but also very, very spicy. So be careful the first time you try it!

Mauritius is a sugar cane nation, which automatically also makes it a rum nation. Mauritian rum is considered to be particularly aromatic.

You can also get beer in Mauritius. The local beer brand is called Phoenix and actually doesn’t taste at all bad.

Internet in Mauritius

The Internet in Mauritius is very good. We had very good WiFi at each of our hotels.

We bought a Mauritian SIM card for mobile Internet. There are two major providers on the island: Orange and Emtel. We bought a SIM card from Emtel and paid just over 25 euros for a 25 GB package! We could only dream of that back home.

Language and understanding

The Mauritian population speaks Creole, a dialect of French. If you speak French, you should be able to get by just fine in Mauritius. Most locals also speak good English, so communication isn’t a huge problem.

Mauritius may be a small island, but it’s absolutely packed with amazing things to do. One of the easiest ways to make the most of your trip is to do a tour. 

Most Mauritius tours are one day only, so they can fit flexibly into your itinerary. You can go on an adventure one day and relax on the beach the next. Perfect! 

Another great thing about doing a tour is that you can see most of the island without needing to hire a car. 

Most tours also offer hotel pickups and drop-offs, making it super easy to get out of your resort and explore. 

What’s more, you’ll get insider information and recommendations during your trip to Mauritius. Plus, activities and experiences you might not have come across otherwise.

So, which tours should you do? I’ve put together a guide of the most top-rated ones with a mix of adventure, nature, wildlife, culture and leisure to make it easier for you to choose. 

All of these tours are small group to keep them as personalised as possible. Some of them have private tour options, but they tend to be a lot more expensive, so they might be better suited to a bigger group!

The best tours and day trips in Mauritius

Without further ado, here are the best ways to tour Mauritius Island. 

Mauritius: Wild South West Full-Day Tour

Chamarel seven coloured earth surrounded by trees. It's a must visit location on your Mauritius tours.

  • Length: 8 hours
  • Highlights: Chamarel Waterfall, Seven Coloured Earth, Black River Valley, Grand Bassin

Celebrate the best natural sights, and scenery Mauritius has to offer on a wild landscape tour of the southwest. The great thing about this tour is that you can get picked up and dropped at any hotel on the island. 

The itinerary is then a full day of sightseeing, starting at the volcanic crater Trou aux Cerfs with its panoramic views of Mauritius. 

Next, you’ll visit the model ship factory in Curepipe and Grand Bassin, a sacred site for Mauritian Hindus – watch out for monkeys!

After a stop at the Black River Gorges National Park, you’ll have lunch and a rum tasting at La Rhumerie Chamarel and then visit what I believe is one of the top highlights of Mauritius – the Seven Coloured Earth. 

Similar to Rainbow Mountain in Peru, this area of ground is a naturally occurring phenomenon with multi-coloured earth. It’s an incredible sight!

Make sure you take some time to see the famous cascading Chamarel Waterfall here too. 

The last stop is Baie du Cap for a final breathtaking view on your tour.

This tour is small-group. There’s also a private tour version which you can do depending on the size of your group. 

Full-Day Cruise to Ile aux Cerfs with BBQ Lunch Included

  • Length: 7 hours
  • Highlights: 45-foot catamaran, Ile aux Cerfs, snorkelling, BBQ lunch 

Enjoy the island life with a catamaran tour of Ile aux Cerfs.

This tour is perfect for those who want to combine adventure with relaxation as you can be as active or leisurely as you want – all with beautiful surroundings and possible dolphin sightings!

The catamaran cruise starts from Point Jerome on the east coast of Mauritius and sails to a quiet spot near the privately owned island of Ile aux Cerfs.

Here you’re treated to turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and an island with lush green vegetation to explore.  

Spend the day swimming or snorkelling amongst the reef fish, sunbathing on the beach and relaxing onboard. You also have free time to enjoy the island independently. 

A light breakfast and delicious BBQ lunch are provided, cooked up by chefs on board. Soft and alcoholic drinks are provided too. 

Al boats have limited capacity, so it’s advisable to book this tour in advance to save your spot! 

Dodo Trail Tour with Lunch 

Pamplemousses Botanical Garden Mauritius - a girl wearing an orange dress standing in an avenue of trees.

  • Length: 8 hours 
  • Highlights: SSR Botanical Garden, Port Louis 

The Dodo Trail Tour starts in Port Louis, the capital city. From there you’ll see the best sights of the city from the harbour to the old citadel and Fort Adelaide. 

As you work your way through the tour, you’ll spot important landmarks such as the Sait Louis Cathedral and Parliament. Next, you’ll be invited to look around a traditional market where you’ll see a colourful array of fruits and vegetables – and plenty of busy stalls. 

The tour includes a traditional home-cooked Mauritian lunch at a private residence. Afterwards, the final stop is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden (SSR), otherwise known as Pamplemousses Botanical Garden. 

It has an amazing collection of rare tropical plants from around the world and a large colonial house. Head to the ponds to see magnificent giant water lilies and a great photo spot! 

Admission tickets to all sights are included in this Mauritius city tour price. 

Quick fact: this tour is named after the dodo, a flightless bird which unfortunately went extinct sometime in the 1700s.

Blue Bay: Half-Day Snorkelling Trip with Creole Picnic Lunch 

Shallow turquoise waters of Blue Bay Marine Park in Mauritius with boats on the water.

  • Length: 4 hours
  • Highlights: Blue Bay Marine Park, snorkelling, shipwreck, Creole lunch on a private island 

Love snorkelling? Take a half day trip to Blue Bay Marine Park , a protected marine reserve on the south east coast. You don’t even have to get in the water to enjoy the marine life as the boat has a glass bottom!

Blue Bay Marine Park is the largest coral reserve in Mauritius. The tour starts at Blue Bay Public Beach in the southeast of Mauritius. 

From there you’ll sail into the turquoise lagoon with stops including an old shipwreck which you can see in the water or from the boat. 

Next, you’ll head to Ile de Deux Coco, a private island, where a chef will serve up a delicious Creole curry lunch and you can enjoy a selection of soft and alcoholic drinks. 

You’ll have some time to enjoy the private island before jumping back on the boat for one last snorkel stop before returning to Blue Bay Public Beach. 

Mauritius: Tamarind Falls Highlights 3-Hour Hiking Trip

An aerial view of Tamarind Falls waterfalls surrounded by green hills. This hike is one of the best Mauritius tours.

  • Length: 3 hours 
  • Highlights: Tamarind Falls, Rivière Tamarind, swimming 

You can get a snapshot of what the wild island interior has to offer on this three-hour hiking trip to Tamarind Falls. 

Make sure to bring some swimwear as you’ll have the chance to swim in some natural pools on the way! 

This adventure tour starts at the Henrietta Bus Station and follows a trail walking through sugarcane fields to reach the entrance to a canyon. 

After 30 minutes of walking through the canyon, you’ll come to the first of many stunning waterfalls. Here’s where you can stop, take a swim and cool off before finishing your hike at Tamarind Falls, the most beautiful waterfall of them all! 

The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off if you need it. You’ll also have a guide with you who will show you some of the animals and plants you’ll see on your hike. Remember your swimwear!

Mauritius: Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to the Northern Isles

Green hill of Gabriel Island in the north of Mauritius. Catamarans on the water in front.

  • Highlights: Three Northern Isles, snorkelling, dolphins, BBQ lunch

What’s an island holiday without a boat trip? This full-day catamaran cruise takes you north to the three Northern Isles with a chance to spot dolphins, whales and other marine life along the way!

The tour starts bright and early with tea and coffee at 8am at Grand Baie Public Beach. From there, you’ll sail over to Flat Island, where you’ll be able to explore or relax in the beautiful scenery before tucking into a BBQ lunch with amazing seafood. 

After lunch, the next stop is Gabriel Island, where you’ll be able to sunbathe on its famous sandbar or go snorkelling in the crystal clear lagoon. 

On your return journey, you’ll stop at Coin de Mare marine reserve and go on another snorkel before heading back. 

Black River: Dolphin Swim and Whale Watching by Speedboat

A spinner dolphin leaping out of the water with Mauritius behind.

  • Length: 6 hours
  • Highlights: Swimming with dolphins, whale watching

Tick swimming with dolphins off your bucket list in an ethical way on one of the best Mauritius wildlife tours!

This excursion takes you on a speedboat to the Black River coast of Mauritius, where you’ll have the chance to see spinner and bottlenose dolphins as well as whales (don’t worry, you won’t be swimming with those).  

You’ll be able to go snorkelling at some amazing coral reefs too! 

The great thing about this tour is it’s a small group which means there will be no more than 8 people and 2 skippers. You’ll also get a briefing about how to respect and keep a safe distance from the dolphins you swim with. 

On the second half of the tour, you’ll go whale watching and you have a 60% chance of seeing one. 

Look out for resident sperm whales all year round and magnificent humpback whales from June to October! 

Snorkelling gear per person and soft drinks are included in the price. 

Mauritius: Le Morne Mountain UNESCO Eco Hike 

View of the rocky and steap Le Morne mountain with a beach and sea below.

  • Length: 4 hours 
  • Highlights: Scramble hike, panoramic views, learn about history and conservation

See Mauritius from on high by climbing Le Morne Mountain on this Eco Hike up a UNESCO World Heritage site! 

One of the best eco tours in Mauritius, this thrilling adventure takes you 465 metres above sea level, where you’ll admire breathtaking lagoon views and learn about the island’s history. 

Start the hike with a 4×4 car journey through private lands where you might spot wildlife such as deer, wild pigs and birds. 

You’ll then begin on foot at the North-Western base of the mountain, which will warm you up for the next challenging phase. 

At 340 metres above sea level, you’ll reach the first of the four scrambling/climbing sections. Don’t worry; you’ll get a safety briefing, and each stop offers panoramic views and photo opportunities. 

Once you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded for your efforts with breathtaking views, and you’ll be able to take a well-earned break before you descend. 

Heads up, this is a challenging hike with some scrambling and climbing bits so you’ll need a good level of fitness and stamina.

Make sure you’re wearing good footwear too. It might not be suitable for those who have a fear of heights!

Port Louis: Street Food Tour

View from above of colourful skyscrapers and buildings of Port Louis, Mauritius.

  • Length: 3 hours
  • Highlights: Delicious street food, local guide

One of the best ways to immerse yourself in a culture is through food which is why I highly recommend this Port Louis Street Food Tour.

This half day tour will allow you to experience Mauritian culinary delights like a local. Your guide will take you through bustling streets to some of the best authentic food stops in the capital that a tourist is unlikely to come across. 

Enjoy traditional feasts such as Indo-Mauritian “faratas” (fried dough bread) served with Creole “rougaille, Mauritian dumplings and Franco-Mauritian pastries. 

There are eight tastings in total and each one highlights the diversity of Mauritian heritage and culture with its French, Creole, African, Indian and Chinese influences. Look out for the oldest patisserie in Port Louis too!

All food tastings and a bottle of water are included in the price. 

Ile aux Aigrettes – Tea Route – Gris Gris Guided Day Tour

Mauritius tours aren't complete without a trip to Ile aux Aigrettes. Pictured, a giant tortoise surrounded by vegetation.

  • Highlights: Nature reserve, giant tortoises, tea factory and museum, lunch at Saint Aubin Colonial house

If you’re a nature lover, Ile aux Aigrettes is an absolute must-visit during your trip to Mauritius. Here, you’ll discover a wild island and protected nature reserve home to rare plants and animals, including the Giant Tortoise. 

This full-day Mauritius tour takes you to Ile aux Aigrettes, where you can learn about the ongoing conservation projects on the island and hang out with the giant tortoises that roam free.

You can also find rare birds such as the Pink Pigeon and Mauritius Fody, so it’s a great choice for bird watchers!

Next, you’ll see another side to Mauritian heritage and culture: tea. A Bois Cheri Tea Factory, you’’ learn about the history and production of tea before winding your way through picturesque plantations to a tea-tasting chalet. 

Enjoy a selection of teas, admire the views and try a few rum samples in the on-site shop before you leave. 

The tour includes a local lunch at Saint Aubin Colonial House, that’s located in a beautiful garden. Finish off with a stop at Gris Gris Beach for dramatic cliff views. 

The price of the tour includes hotel pickup, lunch, drinks and Ile aux Aigrettes and Bois Cheri entrance fees. 

Pure Breaks Flexible Multi Day Tours 

View from Sublime Point looking out towards mountains in the distance and the coastline. Pure Breaks an help you build the best Mauritius tours.

  • Length: From 7 days

They can help you build a tour featuring all the must-dos and best places to stay on the island. You can either drive it yourself or arrange a private transfer. Tours typically start from seven days. 

Heads up, Pure Breaks tends to be slightly on the luxury end but prices are relatively reasonable depending on what you normally budget for. 

Don’t forget travel insurance!

At the risk of sounding like a parent, it’s always a good idea to have travel insurance on the off chance something goes wrong when you visit Mauritius. 

I currently use Holiday Extras because it has great plans – including electronics cover – at an affordable price point. I’ve recently used them for Mauritius and Jordan and got cheap cover for both!

Final Thoughts: The best Mauritius tours

Mauritius has plenty of tours, excursions and day trips to suit a range of interests. Whether you would like to spend the day relaxing on a 45-ft catamaran, scrambling up a mountain or sampling the culinary delights of Port Louis, there’s something here for everyone. 

I recommend booking in advance to save your spot as they do tend to get sold out fast. 

The great thing is that most offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before, which gives you peace of mind if plans change.
