1. Summer (November to April)
Weather: Warm and humid, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 33°C. This is the perfect season for beach visits and island hopping. However, it is important to stay updated on weather reports, as there is a possibility of rain or storms at this time.

Activities:
Beach activities: The crystal-clear waters are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and diving at beaches like Belle Mare, Le Morne, and Flic en Flac. The warm waters attract vibrant marine life, making it a wonderful time for underwater adventures.
Weather Timings: November is mostly vibrant weather suitable for water activities, with the risk of rain and cyclone increasing later.
Nature trails: The lush landscapes of Black River Gorges National Park are perfect for trekking and wildlife exploration.

For cooler, calmer weather, you can also choose May to December.
In case of a sudden cyclonic risk, always refer to the weather forecast before visiting, carry an emergency kit, and lastly, follow the travel and staff insurance guidelines. They have the expertise to guide you through rain and cyclones.
2. Winter (May to October)
Weather: Cooler and drier, with temperatures between 18°C and 25°C. Humidity is low during this time with occasional rainfall, especially from May to September.

Hiking: Trails like Le Morne Brabant and Pieter Both Mountain offer stunning panoramic views and pleasant trekking conditions.
Windsurfing and kitesurfing: The stronger winds make winter ideal for adventure sports, particularly at Le Morne.

Mauritius tour packages for Indian Travellers
Unlike other destination packages, Mauritius holiday tour packages are different. And the reason goes back nearly 200 years. Between 1835 and 1920, over half a million Indians arrived in Mauritius as indentured labourers and built the island. Their descendants stayed. Today, 68% of Mauritius's population is of Indian origin, and that history is visible in everything from the street food to the temples on the hillside.
The language is familiar: Hindi and Bhojpuri are spoken alongside French and Creole. English is widely understood everywhere. You will not struggle to be understood.
The food is recognisable: Dholl puri is a thin flatbread stuffed with ground split peas and is the national street food. Farata is sold on every corner. Creole cuisine carries deep Indian influences. You will find flavours that feel like home, cooked by people whose grandparents cooked the same things.
The history: Aapravasi Ghat in Port Louis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the immigration depot where Indian indentured labourers first set foot on Mauritian soil. For Indian travellers, walking through it is not a tourist activity. It is something closer to recognition.
Temples are everywhere. Shri Vishnu Temple in Triolet and Sri Siva Subramanya Swami Temple in Quatre Bornes are active places of worship, not monuments. They are part of daily life on the island.

Safety Advisory
The popular honeymoon season runs from April to November, which is also the peak time for the honeymoon season in Mauritius. Tourists are recommended to travel with travel insurance from April to November. Furthermore, it is suggested to follow the weather forecast.
It is suggested to carry light, summer-friendly clothes that are comfortable and sweatproof.
While visiting temples in Mauritius, both men and women must dress modestly by covering their shoulders and knees.
Always carry a water bottle and try to consume plenty of water in many places, as many don’t have the facilities for potable water.
While visiting any wildlife sanctuary, tourists are supposed to respect all the rules to protect its unique land and marine ecosystems. The primary instruction is to enjoy the wildlife from a distance without any interference.
There are no daily passenger ferry services, but they are primarily used for travel within the island to Rodrigues and Agaléga.

Reviews from verified travellers who booked their Mauritius tour packages from different cities across India
We recently booked our Mauritius honeymoon through Thrillophilia and we are so grateful for making it such a special and memorable trip for us.
The planning process was seamless from the first call. Our coordinator shared all details clearly and the WhatsApp updates before each activity day kept us always informed.
Everything was taken care of with precision. No stress at any point. Big thanks to the entire Thrillophilia team for making our honeymoon so perfect.
It was our honeymoon trip to Mauritius and we are truly grateful to Thrillophilia for making it so special. Right from booking till the last day everything was taken care of properly.
Our coordinator Neha mam was very helpful from the start. All information was shared on WhatsApp one day before each activity so we always knew what was happening next. No confusion at any point during the trip. The whole trip was hassle free and well organised.
Big thanks to Neha mam and the whole team at Thrillophilia. Will definitely plan our next international trip with them only.
Mauritius family package was one of those rare holidays where everyone from grandparents to toddlers had a brilliant time.
The lagoons, the beaches and the sheer friendliness of the locals made every day feel effortless and warm.
I recently had a Mauritius trip with Thrillophilia and overall it was a very nice experience. Our agent was friendly and gave us many options keeping our budget in mind. She also did continuous follow up during the planning stage which was reassuring. The trip itself was well planned. Ile Aux Cerfs island was beautiful, the 7 coloured earth at Chamarel was something we had seen in pictures but it still surprised us in person. The resort on the lagoon was comfortable and the food was good. One thing I will mention honestly is that I was told there would be a briefing call two days before departure but that did not happen. Because of this there... Read More
We booked the Mauritius package for our anniversary through Thrillophilia. The agent was patient and took time to understand what kind of trip we were looking for rather than pushing a standard package. April in Mauritius turned out to be a good choice as the island was green after the earlier rains and the sea was calm enough for the catamaran trip to Ile Aux Cerfs to be smooth. The 7-coloured earth at Chamarel was more vivid in person than any picture we had seen. Belle Mare beach on the last morning before checkout. A helicopter ride for the underwater waterfall view was suggested by our coordinator and we almost did not add it for budget ... Read More
The weather was perfect and the island was less crowded. Ile Aux Cerfs island hopping was the best day of the trip. The 7-coloured earth at Chamarel genuinely looks like a painting. Hotel staff were incredibly warm and hospitable.
The resort Thrillophilia chose was directly on a white sand lagoon and had the most beautiful sunrise view every morning. Parasailing at Belle Mare, submarine tour to see coral reefs, catamaran sunset cruise — each day had something memorable. Super aiindi poora experience. Highly recommended!
Mauritius whole experience was great! Catamaran cruise to the private sandbank was the standout activity of the trip. Flight included in the package made the planning and booking so straightforward. Saras rahi hotel and beach access. Only wished for slightly more free beach time on day four. Will recommend to all couples!
Mauritius Tour faqs
Is Mauritius a good destination for Indian vegetarians?
Yes. Dholl puri, farata, vegetable curries, and dal-based dishes are widely available given the island's Indian-origin population. Most restaurants understand vegetarian requirements. Larger hotels and resorts typically offer dedicated vegetarian menus.
What is the Mauritian rupee to INR exchange rate, and how much cash should I carry?
As per the current reports of 2026, the exchange rates are approximately - 1 Mauritian Rupee (MUR) ≈ INR 1.98 to INR 2.00 INR. That is, for an average Indian tourist, 15,000 to 25,000 worth of MUR is usually enough for basic expenses like hotels, street food, taxis, and local shopping.
Is 3 days enough to explore Mauritius?
Absolutely! While three days may seem short, you can still enjoy the beauty of Mauritius. Focus on main attractions like Port Louis, Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, and a relaxing beach day.
Is Mauritius safe for solo Indian women travellers?
Yes. Mauritius is considered one of the safer island destinations for solo women. English and Hindi are widely understood, locals are generally welcoming to Indian travellers, and tourist areas are well-patrolled.
What are the must-do activities in a Mauritius tour package?
Here are some offbeat things that you can do on a Mauritius trip:
Trek to Morne Brabant: A challenging hike with views of lagoons and coastline; the mountain doubled as a refuge for slaves in the 18th century, making the climb mean something more than the view.
Snorkelling at Blue Bay Marine Park: Sea turtles, coral formations, and tropical fish in clear, calm water. One of the cleanest snorkelling spots in the Indian Ocean.
Cave Sea Kayaking at Albion: Paddle along the coastline into hidden caves and secluded beaches most tourists never reach.
Submarine Tour at Trou aux Biches: Sit inside a real submarine and watch coral reefs and marine life pass by outside the window. Memorable for kids and adults equally.
Windsurfing at Le Morne: Consistent winds, clear water, and enough challenge to keep it interesting whether you are a first-timer or have done it before.
What is the best time to visit Mauritius for Indian honeymooners?
The best time for Indian honeymooners to go to Mauritius is from May to December, when the weather is cool, dry, and sunny.
