Insider Travel Tips
Uncover essential tips for a safe, enjoyable Mauritius journey.
Mauritius is a safe and friendly destination for travellers, but there are some things to keep in mind to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.
Do not rely on Google Maps, as it is not optimized for Mauritius
Trust your guide instead
Drive on the left side of the road
Do not park on double yellow lines
Avoid taking buses after 6 pm, as many areas are deserted after this time
Do not hike without a guide
Be careful of slippery tiles in restrooms.
Wash your hands often to avoid diarrheal illness.
Beware of men who offer to help you with your luggage as soon as you arrive at the airport. They lie when they say that the terminal is crowded and you need their help.
Buy water from local shops instead of hotels. Hotels charge almost double for water.
Do not fall for taxi drivers who claim to take you to "amazing beaches with golden sands" or similar places. This is a common tourist trap.
There is no such thing as a private beach in Mauritius. Although hotels have cleverly colonized large stretches of sand, they do not own any of them.

ExcellentBased on 5,214 ReviewsGoway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'NeillWe entrusted Goway with every detail of our trip from start to finish and they came through for us superbly! Every single detail was smooth sailing. It was a joy to plan our travels with Goway!! We had an amazing trip of a lifetime!
E&DI recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals.
We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc.
We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets.
I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed.
Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy HayWe enjoyed our trip very much. I was very pleased by the hotel, tours, and itinerary selections that Alice Teramoto made for us. It was all well organized and easy to follow.

Special thanks to my Travel Specialists, Brooke Theron and Angela DonnellyNeil RWorking with Allan is absolutely a dream.

Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David KleinWe had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand.
