In Mauritius, the dress code for tourists is generally casual and relaxed due to the warm climate. Light, comfortable clothing such as shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, and swimwear are suitable for beach activities and casual outings. However, it’s respectful to cover up when entering religious sites or local villages out of consideration for local customs and traditions. If you plan to visit more formal establishments like upscale restaurants, smart casual attire may be more appropriate
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. To give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below.
The Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters and hotel staff of approximately £50. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip.
