- Active: those who wish can go on ocean fishing, go diving (sea eagles, barracudas, blue marlins, white-feather sharks live in the waters of the Indian Ocean, which means you can meet them, as well as swim in the coral gardens) and surf.
- Excursion: on excursions you will be offered to visit a tea factory and the Museum of Indian Immigration, stroll through the Pamplemousse Botanical Garden, visit a salt mine, go to the Black River Gorge National Park, to the village of Chamarel, to the Grand Riviere Syd Est waterfalls.
- Event-driven: after planning a trip to Mauritius for various festive events, everyone can have fun at the festivities dedicated to the Chinese New Year (January-February), Spring Holi (March-April), the International Festival of Creole Culture (November-December).
Prices for tours to Mauritius
Vacationing in Mauritius is best in November-April. Tours to Mauritius are not cheap, and during this period, in particular on New Year's holidays, the prices for tours reach their price maximum.
Is your goal to save money? Plan your trip to Mauritius during the low season - May, August and September. During these months, not many tourists come to the island, so the prices for tours are slightly reduced. In June-July, you can also buy tours at competitive prices, but the rest during this period can be darkened by gusty winds, although if you are a fan of kite and windsurfing, then this may be the best time for you to relax.
On a note
Since Mauritius is characterized by “capricious” weather, it is advisable to have light things, raincoats and windbreakers on vacation. In addition to these things, you should pack beach slippers (coral debris), sunglasses and creams in your suitcase.
In Mauritius, a narcotic herb grows and is often sold uncontrollably on the beaches - if you do not want to pay a huge fine or go home immediately, it is not something that should not be consumed, but simply have it among your belongings.
Returning to your homeland, it is worth considering that corals and objects raised from the seabed illegally cannot be removed from the island.
In memory of a vacation in Mauritius, it is worth bringing models of old ships, wicker and pottery, onyx or coral jewelry, tea, and electronics.
