ABOUT THIS TRIP
This trip is ideal for those who don't have a lot of time and would like to combine a beach vacation with activities. In 10 days, you will experience all the highlights that the multifaceted island of Mauritius has to offer, but still have plenty of time to relax on the beautiful beaches and enjoy the views. You will be accommodated in guesthouses of the Comfort***/**** category, personally selected by us.
We are happy to change this tour itinerary or the rental car category according to your individual wishes. Please contact us for your personal offer. Note: A four-wheel drive vehicle is not necessary for this trip. However, we recommend a vehicle with a higher wheelbase for better driving comfort. As the signposting on the island is quite poor, we recommend that you use offline maps. Please note that we are unfortunately unable to offer this trip over Christmas/New Year's Eve, as many hotels require minimum stays during this period. We would be happy to make you a special offer for this travel period.
