Best Time to Travel to Mauritius

Mauritius is an island situated in the south-western Indian Ocean and it has a tropical climatic condition. The best time to visit the island is from May to December because, during this time, the weather conditions on the island are cool and dry, and the place is sunny. The average temperature is between 18-24 degrees Celsius and it is the best time for water sports, hiking and other outdoor activities because of low humidity with lesser chances of showers.

Booking a Mauritius family trip from January to April will be hotter and more humid as Mauritius has a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius. During this time, locals celebrate festivals such as Easter, and the weather is mostly warm and humid. Swimming and getting around the islands is best done at this time, without the commotion of many crowds. However, at times between December and March, cyclones are likely to occur. It's therefore recommended to carry an umbrella since showers usually fall.
