Mauritius Tour Packages

About Mauritius Tour Packages

Mauritius, also known as ‘The Star and Key of the Indian Ocean’ is an island located about 6 to 7 hours away from India by direct flight. It has 2,040 square kilometers of coastline, volcanic highlands, colonial history, and an ocean culture. The island has enough variety in its terrain and experiences to justify spending anywhere from 4 nights to 8 nights without running out of things to do.

Every Mauritius tour package from JustWravel is built around three core tours. The combination of hotel and duration changes across packages, but these three experiences remain the foundation of every Mauritius trip we plan.

North Island Discovery Tour

A full-day city and culture tour covering Port Louis, the Sugar Museum inside a restored 19th-century factory, Fort Adelaide for an endless view of the city and Port Louis harbour. Next up is exploring China Town, Caudan Waterfront, Aapravasi Ghat (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). You may also indulge in Château de Labourdonnais with a juice and rum tasting. One of the highlights of the day is tasting the national food of Mauritius- Dhol Puri.

South Island Discovery Tour

This tour covers a completely different landscape. Grand Bassin, also known as Ganga Talao, is the first stop. It is a volcanic crater lake and the most significant Hindu pilgrimage site in Mauritius, with the island’s highest Shiva statue standing beside it. From there, the route passes through the Valley of Colours (La Vallée des Couleurs), where 23 naturally occurring shades of volcanically formed earth are visible. The Model Ship Factory and Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcanic crater with full island views, complete the day.

Sun, Sand and Sea Tour

This tour covers the east coast and Île aux Cerfs on an SIC basis. A speedboat takes you to Île aux Cerfs, an 87-hectare island with white sand beaches and calm lagoons. There, you may indulge in water sports, snorkeling, or just walk by the shore. Then, a waterfall visit, and a beachside meal complete the day. This luxurious and private day is what most travelers remember about throughout their Mauritius trip.

Mauritius Trip Cost from India

The Mauritius trip cost from India depends on three things: duration, hotel category, and whether flights are included. Here is a breakdown to help you plan.

• 4 Nights 5 Days Westin Turtle Bay Mauritius Tour Package - Starting at ₹77,500 per person

Best for first-time travelers or those with a tighter budget and schedule. Covers the essential experiences without overextending the tour. The stay is at Westin Turtle Bay, a beachfront property in the north.

• 5 Nights 6 Days Mauritius Tour Package - Starting at ₹2,00,000 per person

The most balanced option. Enough time for all three island tours, a full leisure day, and no sense of being rushed. Stay is at Constance Belle Mare Plage on the east coast.

• 5 Days Mauritius Honeymoon Package - Starting at ₹96,500 per person

Structured specifically for couples. Similar coverage to the 5N/6D but with honeymoon-specific inclusions and a stay suited to the trip purpose.

• 6 Nights 7 Days Le Meridien Maurice - Mauritius Tour Package - Starting at ₹1,45,000 per person

The most relaxed itinerary, with two leisure days built in. The stay is at Le Méridien Ile Maurice on the northwest coast. Works best for travelers who want to explore at their own pace without feeling hurried.

All Mauritius trip packages include daily breakfast and dinner, SIC airport transfers for travelers on direct flights from India, and three structured island tours. Flights, travel insurance, GST, TCS, and optional activities are not included and need to be added separately.

For couples, the 5 days honeymoon package and the 5N/6D package both work well depending on whether you want a structured itinerary or a relaxed pace. For families, the 6 days and 8 days packages give enough leisure time so no one feels rushed. For first-time international travelers, the 4 Nights 5 Days Westin Turtle Bay package is a clean introduction to Mauritius without overextending the budget.

Best Time to Visit Mauritius from India

Mauritius has a mild tropical maritime climate, with a warm humid summer from November to April and a cooler, drier winter from May to October. According to Mauritius Meteorological Services, the warmest months are January and February, when the average daytime maximum reaches 29.2°C, while July and August are the coolest months, when the average night minimum drops to 16.4°C. May and October are transition months, and June to September are generally cooler.

May to December: Best for Mauritius

For most travelers, May to December is the best time to visit Mauritius from India. This is usually the most comfortable window for sightseeing, beach time, island tours, and water activities, with better overall travel conditions for a Mauritius holiday package.

January to March

January to March is the warmer and wetter part of the year. The official climate record shows February and March as the wettest months, so travel is still possible, but this is the period where weather planning matters more.

April, May, September and October: Good Shoulder Months

April, May, September, and October are good shoulder months for travelers who want pleasant weather with fewer crowds. These months work especially well for couples, families, and honeymoon travelers who want a calmer Mauritius trip.

Maha Shivaratri at Grand Bassin

If your travel dates match Maha Shivaratri, February-March is a meaningful time to visit Grand Bassin. It is one of the most important religious events in Mauritius and gives the trip a strong cultural and spiritual angle.

Why Mauritius Works for Indian Travelers

• Free Visa on Arrival: Indian passport holders get a free entry stamp on arrival, valid for up to 60 days. It may be extended to 90 days for tourists. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your travel date.
• Direct flights from four major cities: Air Mauritius and Air India operate direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru. Flight duration is approximately 7 to 9 hours depending on your city of departure.
• Familiar yet genuinely different: The Mauritian Creole culture has deep Indian, African, French, and Chinese roots. You will find Hindu temples, mosques, Chinese pagodas, and French colonial estates within a few kilometer of each other. The food is accessible, the people are warm, and English is widely spoken — communication is rarely a problem.
• It works for every kind of traveler: Couples on honeymoon, families with kids, friend groups, and solo travelers all find that Mauritius has enough variety to make the Mauritius trips worthwhile. The beaches give you rest, the South Island tour gives geological and cultural depth, and the water sports and adventure activities give those looking for action plenty to do on leisure days.

Places to Visit in Mauritius

Île aux Cerfs

Île aux Cerfs is the highlight of any Mauritius trip. It is an 87-hectare island off the east coast, accessible by speedboat. The lagoon surrounding the island is protected by a coral reef that keeps the water calm, clear, and shallow enough for swimming and snorkeling without needing much experience. Travelers arrive here and figure out how they want to spend the day.

Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao)

A volcanic crater lake in the south of Mauritius, spiritually significant to the Hindu community in Mauritius and believed to be connected to the River Ganges. The 108-foot Lord Shiva statue beside the lake is visible from a distance as you approach, and the surrounding area has temples dedicated to several deities. The atmosphere here is calm and genuinely peaceful.

Valley of Colours (La Vallée des Couleurs)

This is a geographical wonder. The place has 23 naturally occurring, volcanically formed shades of earth visible in one place. It is distinct from the 7 Colored Earth at Chamarel. The Valley also has multiple adrenaline activities including zipline, Nepalese bridge, and jeep rides, making it a strong option for a family trip to Mauritius.

Port Louis

Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, is where the island’s entire history has played out in one concentrated space. Chinese merchants, Indian labourers, French colonists, British administrators, and African communities all left their mark here. The waterfront has been redeveloped into a modern hub, but the older parts of the city still carry the texture of a place that has been continuously lived in for centuries.

The Model Ship Factory

A cottage industry that most visitors do not expect. The Model Ship Factory in Curepipe is where craftsmen hand-build highly detailed scale replicas of historic sailing ships from scratch. The ships take weeks to complete, and the level of precision involved is genuinely impressive. Popular models include the Bounty, the Titanic, and various Dutch and French East India Company vessels.

Aapravasi Ghat

It is one of the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Mauritius. This is where over 450,000 indentured labourers from India arrived between 1834 and 1923. Walking through the site is a grounding history lesson. It feels like watching a place’s history breathe in the present.

Sugar Museum

Inside a beautifully preserved 19th-century sugar factory, this museum explains the colonial economic history of Mauritius through sugar. Includes a rum tasting experience at the end of the tour.

Château de Labourdonnais

Château de Labourdonnais is a fully restored colonial mansion built in 1859, surrounded by a working fruit orchard and rum distillery. The juice and rum tasting at the end of the visit uses fruits grown on the estate itself, which makes the experience genuinely memorable. It offers the finest rum tasting experience in Mauritius.

Caudan Waterfront

Caudan Waterfront is Port Louis’s main waterfront development. It is a good place to decompress after a morning of sightseeing. The complex has shops, restaurants, a casino, a craft market, and a cinema arranged along the harbour edge. The Blue Penny Museum, housing two of the world’s rarest postage stamps, is also located here.

Trou aux Cerfs

A dormant volcanic crater in the middle of Curepipe, and it is one of the better-kept secrets on the standard Mauritius itinerary. The crater is about 200 metres in diameter and 80 metres deep. What most people come for is the view from the rim. On a clear day, you can see across a large part of the island in every direction, including the coastline to the east.

Fort Adelaide (Citadel Fort)

Built by the British in the 1830s on a hill overlooking Port Louis, Fort Adelaide, locally called the Citadel, was designed as a defensive stronghold but ended up seeing very little military action. The views over the city and harbour are worth the visit.

Why Book Customized Mauritius Tour Packages with JustWravel

JustWravel has been organising international trips for Indian travelers for more than a decade, and Mauritius is one of the destinations where that experience shows up in the details. The itineraries are built with actual knowledge of which days work best for which tours, what the traffic situation around Port Louis looks like, and why the Île aux Cerfs visit is better done on the east coast day rather than as an add-on.

The stays are chosen for location relevance, not just star ratings. The Constance Belle Mare Plage is on the east coast because that is where the Île aux Cerfs day is based. Le Méridien is on the northwest coast because it suits the pace of a longer, more relaxed itinerary. Westin Turtle Bay is in the north because it gives you good proximity to the North Island tour without excessive transfer time.

And if you feel like the plan needs a little adjusting, we are more than happy to do that. Want to spend more time at Caudan Waterfront? Done. Want to skip Aapravasi Ghat and use that time elsewhere? That works too. Every Mauritius package we offer can be customised to fit your pace, your interests, and the kind of trip you actually want to take.
