Weather: This is considered the winter season in Mauritius, but temperatures remain pleasant, averaging between 18°C to 24°C (64°F to 75°F). It’s dry with less humidity, making it comfortable for outdoor activities.
Activities: Great for beach lounging, hiking, and exploring the island. It’s also the best time for snorkeling and diving, as water visibility is excellent.

Weather: This period is summer in Mauritius, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 33°C (77°F to 91°F). It’s also the cyclone season, which can bring heavy rains and strong winds, particularly in February and March.
Activities: Ideal for water sports like surfing and windsurfing, as well as deep-sea fishing. However, some activities might be limited due to rain.
Crowds: This is the off-season, so it’s generally quieter and less crowded. It’s a good time to find deals on accommodations, but be prepared for variable weather.
If you’re looking for a balance of good weather and fewer crowds, May, June, and September are particularly ideal months to visit.
