When to visit
Mauritius has a tropical climate that is significantly affected by southeast trade winds. It is warmest in February (85 degrees Fahrenheit) and coolest in July (70 degrees Fahrenheit) it is wisest to visit during the winter months; it is much cooler and rains less, mainly in the evening or just a passing shower in the day. The midday sun is strong so you can still get a tan. An added bonus this time of year is that the hotel charges are discounted for the Off-Peak Period.

How mush time need to visit all these places, Is there any packages for this.
The island of Mauritius has so much to offer, it would be a shame to spend your all inclusive holidays cocooned within the luxury trappings of your hotel. You should hire a guide who will be your driver for the day (it is not very expensive and excellent value) to help you discover the best of Mauritius, whether it's a family holiday or you are getting married in Mauritius.
A great post - I continually feel that it's less simple than I previously thought.
That is great to hear, thank you for reading!
