Mauritius Tours

• Relaxing at your beach hotel!
• Snorkelling off the beach in front of your hotel
• Diving in the crystal waters
• Deep sea fishing
• Tasting the exotic and tropical cuisines of the island

Of course the climate is one of the reasons Mauritius is a beach lover’s delight. Tropical and mild all year round, the temperatures in the winter only fall to a minimum 20°. The island does have summer and winter seasons (the same as NZ) with most of the rainfall during February and March. The best times for diving are December through March and for deep sea fishing between October through April.

An exotic and relaxing island holiday is at your fingertips…Mauritius is an Indian Ocean dream. I spent a few days in Mauritius following an active adventure in Africa and can highly recommend it as an extension so that you come home recharged and fully relaxed. The vibe in Mauritius is such a mixture of cultures and flavours that you will enjoy exploring at your leisure. But above all, the resorts in Mauritius have everything you need should you wish to just ‘flop and drop’ as they say. I have personal experience of a number of the resorts myself and can recommend suitable accommodations for any budget. The resorts all have watersport activities available, usually free unless they are motorized. For a five star experience, resorts – from the sprawling colonial style Sugar Beach resort to smaller and exclusiveness of Le Touessrok and Legends – each unique in their own way. For those on a limited budget, the charming Verandah Resort is situated on Grand Baie which happens to be one of the best locations on the island. There is something for everyone on Mauritius, so consider adding this exotic destination to your plans…
