Why Mauritius 2026 is worth it and how to get there
Mauritius is an island nation located in the Indian Ocean. It is fascinating for its extremely beautiful and varied nature – mountains, rivers, ocean, lush green vegetation, waterfalls...
Many people ask which is more expensive – the Maldives or Mauritius? It is not easy to give an answer at the moment, because the cost of traveling to this African island depends on several factors, including the period, the departure location to the island and the hotel you will choose for booking, and many others. But, based on experience, we can say that a vacation in Mauritius is less costly, even though it is the same Indian Ocean and quality services. All information about the cost of tours to Mauritius for 2026 and beyond can be found from our managers. They are the ones who have up-to-date information about any tourist destination offered by our agency.
The climate on the island is tropical, with humidity at a fairly high level. The average water temperature in the ocean is around +25 degrees Celsius.
When is the best time to relax in Mauritius?
Most tourists spend their vacation in Mauritius from mid-October to mid-April, but the peak season is around New Year’s. During this period, the air temperature is +30 degrees and the water temperature is +26 degrees.
If you are planning your trip to Mauritius to take walks around the island, go on excursions, and visit tourist attractions, then book your tour for the autumn months or late spring. If you are a diving enthusiast and this activity will be the main one on the island, buy your tour for autumn, although the season continues until early winter.
