Mauritius has a warm tropical climate, with sea temperatures that rarely drop below 23°C even in winter. The island can be visited all year round, except January to March which is the very wet cyclone season.
In our view the best time to visit Mauritius is from April to June, which is the warm and drier season. In the cooler winter months of July and August, the southeast trade winds brings gentle sea breezes, but temperatures are still pleasant and prices are lower. October to December is high season, when temperatures are at their hottest, despite the rainy season starting in December.
Whales can be seen off the west coast from July to October. Remember to avoid January to March, as this is the cyclone season when there can be prolonged rains.
