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 for the New Year 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 overshadowed 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, then on vacation it is advisable to have light things, raincoats and windbreakers. In addition to these things, you should pack beach slippers (coral debris often), sunglasses and creams in your suitcase.
A narcotic herb grows in Mauritius 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 you should not eat, but just 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, jewelry made of onyx or coral, tea, electronics.
