Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do I need to pre-book guided tours in Mauritius?
A: It is highly recommended to pre-book popular tours such as Île aux Cerfs, dolphin cruises, and helicopter rides, as they sell out quickly, especially during peak season.
Q2: Can I explore the island on my own with a rental car?
A: Yes, you can rent a car and explore Mauritius independently. However, some areas like Chamarel, Black River Gorges, and Le Morne are easier and safer with a guided driver or tour. It is also more cost-effective to opt for guided tours, as they help you save both time and money, and ensure you don’t miss out on any must-visit sites.
Q3: Are guided hikes necessary for Le Morne Brabant?
A: Yes, a licensed guide is recommended for Le Morne Brabant due to its steep paths and safety concerns. Other trails like Signal Mountain or Macchabée can be done without a guide.

A: Mauritius offers snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, catamaran cruises, undersea walks, dolphin & whale watching, kite surfing, and deep-sea fishing.

A: Mauritius is generally very safe. However, like any tourist destination, it’s wise to keep valuables secure and be cautious in crowded areas.
Q6: What is the best time of year to visit Mauritius?
A: The best time is May to December for sunny, dry weather. January to March is cyclone season, with higher chances of rain.
Q7: Do I need a SIM card or is Wi-Fi enough?
A: Buying a local SIM card at the airport is recommended. It provides reliable 4G coverage island-wide, especially if you plan to travel outside resort areas.
