Mauritius Attractions - Frequently Asked Questions

On the website you can see both our office prices (appear in Grey with strikethrough line through them) and also our discounted website prices (appear in blue). When you make your booking through our website you will benefit our special discounted prices offered for website orders only.

Please note that the website prices are 10-20% lower than our office prices.

Yes we do! Every month we offer special promotion rates on few selected trips. These promotion prices are valid as of the time of order. This means that in case you order an activity when it is offered for a promotion price and then after the price of this activity increases, you will still benefit from the special promotion price which you have paid.

You can find the list of special promoted activities on our Special Offers page.

There is no one clear answer to this question because the answer very much depends on the activity in which you are interested in and on the period of the year for which you would like to make the booking.

For our most popular activities and trips such as the dolphin’s trips, Ile aux Cerfs trips, walking with lions adventure and many more, we do recommend finalizing the booking enough time in advance during any period during the year. This is of course even more relevant during the peak season (November – February), where we are usually fully booked for the majority of the activities, and advance booking is a must!

Mauritius Attractions is a Mauritius based company. Our company’s headquarters are situated in Grand Baie at the North of Mauritius. Who offer our services through our website, local offices, and through large number of agents both in Mauritius and around the world (we have agents in more than 20 countries!).

Yes you can. You can come to our office and make the booking directly with one of our representatives. With that, in such case you should take into account that any booking will be made according to our office price list and not according to the discounted website rates.

Also, you should take into account that in case you will wait with the booking until your arrival to Mauritius, there is an high probability that we will be already fully booked for some of the activities and trips you planned on booking (this is especially relevant for the more popular activities and during the peak season when we are usually fully booked long time in advance for the majority of trips).

Yes we do! We do offer the option of ordering a gift voucher via our website. Accordingly, you can surprise your friends / partner / family or any other close person visiting Mauritius, with an original rewarding gift.

The gift voucher can be for a specific trip which will be chosen by you, or a voucher for a certain amount chosen by you (which can be used by the voucher holder during a later stage for choosing any of the activities we offer).

For not extra charge we can prepare a personalized gift voucher which includes the names of the person receiving the gift, including also a personal greeting and/or even add a photo of your choice.

The process for ordering a gift voucher is almost identical to the order process for ordering a regular voucher. The only difference is that as part of the order process you should enter this comment:

“This order is a gift for XXX” (please mention here the name/s of the person/s receiving the voucher).

You can enter this comment on the “Comments” text box just before the payment screen, or send us such this information by email. In the same comments box, you can also enter any greeting you would like us to include as part of the gift voucher.

On the day of each trip/activity you should bring the voucher which we have sent you by email following your booking. This voucher is your proof of booking.

The voucher also includes all the relevant details regarding your booking and regarding the activity itself, such as: the departure point, start / end time, activity description, local contact numbers, and also a list of what to bring and not to bring for that activity.

The order process for ordering almost any activity and trip via the Mauritius Attractions website is very simple and can be completed within minutes. Here are the order process steps:

• Go online to our website and choose the activity you wish to order
• Choose the number of participants (number of adults / children / other features)
• Then choose the order method (open voucher / preferred date and choose the desired date)
• Then choose “add to cart”
• Once you are at the shopping cart you can choose to proceed to the “checkout” or continue shopping to add more activities to your shopping cart (steps 1- 4)
• Fill-in your personal details (creating an account)
• Finalize the payment

For the convenience of our clients we offer two order methods for making the booking via the website:

• Specific Date booking
• Open Voucher booking (can be used also as a Gift Voucher)

This way, each client can choose the order method according to his exact preferences.

Booking an activity for a Preferred Date: When choosing this order option, you will be asked to enter your preferred date on which you would like to go for the activity. This option will entitle you to reserve and guarantee your place for the activity on a specific time and date that suit you most, and do so as part of the order process.

Booking an activity by an Open Voucher: By ordering an Open Voucher you will be able to choose the preferred date for the activity during a later stage (when you already have full knowledge of the schedule for your trip). This way you benefit maximum flexibility regarding the date of the desired activity. The open voucher can be used to go on this specific activity during a period of 3 months from the date of its purchase.
