Mauritius is a volcanic island nation in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, ringed by coral reefs and turquoise lagoons. It is known for white-sand beaches, sugarcane fields and a rich Creole, Indian, French and Chinese cultural mix. Between snorkelling glassy lagoons and hiking green mountain gorges, this island packs a whole world of adventure into one paradise!
When to go
The cooler, drier winter from May to November is ideal for beaches and hiking. The summer months from December to April are hot and humid with a chance of cyclones.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
Mauritius (MRU) is one of the longest trips you can take from eastern Canada, so plan on multiple legs. Most itineraries connect through a Canadian gateway like Montreal or Toronto and then a long-haul hub such as Paris, Dubai or Johannesburg before the final flight to the island. Build in extra layover time and expect at least one overnight in transit.
What to see and do
- Relaxing on the beaches of Le Morne and Belle Mare
- Hiking in Black River Gorges National Park
- Seeing the coloured earth dunes at Chamarel
- Snorkelling the lagoons around Île aux Cerfs
Good to know before you go
The currency is the Mauritian rupee, and English and French are both widely used alongside Creole. Public buses are cheap but slow and limited, and the Bolt ride-hailing app is handy for shorter hops; to reach the beaches and viewpoints at your own pace, renting a car is the classic choice, though under-25s often face a young-driver surcharge, so weigh taxis and day tours too, and remember they drive on the left. The island is welcoming and generally safe.
