Mauritius
is a year round destination. The peak holiday season runs from October
to Easter, with hotel prices dropping over the summer months. The Mauritian
winter occurs from July to September, when daytime temperatures drop
from sticky to balmy. With less rain and humidity, this is one of the
best times to visit. Weatherwise, the least agreeable period is from
January to April, when the long days can be very hot and humid and the
threat of cyclones is in the air. You should be prepared to spend a
couple of days cooped up indoors during extra-heavy rains if you visit
between January and March. December through March is the best time for
diving, when the water is at its clearest. June through August is best
for surfing. October through April is excellent for big game fishing,
as this is when the large predators feed close to shore.
