The ideal time

While Mauritius is a pleasant destination all year round, certain periods are more suitable for 4ร—4 tours. From May to November, the climate is milder and rainfall less frequent, making mountain exploration more enjoyable. We therefore recommend that you choose this period for your 4ร—4 adventure.

Good preparation is the key to a successful experience. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing
  • A hat or cap to protect you from the sun
  • Walking shoes if you plan to stop and explore on foot
  • Water and snacks to stay hydrated and energized all day long
