Field guide
Do Mauritius properly
Organised by how a trip actually fails: wrong coast, wrong night walk, wrong boat package. The guide is free. Book a boat or hotel when a real ticket is offered — we don’t invent a shop.
History · law · taxi
Interactive: timeline, civilian rules quiz, 2026 airport taxi list, leisure mood.

First-time visitors: seven things that actually earn a day.
Must do / must not
Left-hand traffic, taxi fares, cyclone sense, and the dumb mistakes.

Activities
Catamarans, snorkel, hike, garden. Hold a date when you’re ready.
Nightlife
The north is the night. The rest of the island goes home.
Family leisure
Shallow lagoon, shade, toilets, one boat day. Not a secret cove.
