How much preparation do you need to travel to Mauritius?

In terms of money, 1w5 per person is enough. If you go in the off-season, you can have a good time, but in the peak season, it may not be enough. \x0d\Items to prepare are: \x0d\ 1. Transportation in Mauritius generally includes: self-driving, bus transportation, chartered car, and group one-day tour. \x0d\\x0d\1. Self-driving (not recommended)\x0d\A. Although the hair ball is not big, the road is narrow and traffic jams are serious during the morning rush hour. The most annoying thing is that almost both sides of the road are sugar cane fields, and it is difficult to recognize the road when turning;\x0d\B. The distance traveled is difficult to control. Sometimes it feels like the destination is right ahead, but it takes a long time to walk in circles;\x0d\C. The fur ball car drives on the right hand side, so it is difficult to get used to it when you first get started. When I first arrived at Maoqiu, I often made a roundabout and then drove the wrong way on a one-way street. The fines were extremely expensive;\x0d\D. The road signs are almost all in English and French, there are many roundabouts, the yield rules are complicated, and it is easy to get lost;\x0d\E. Some local drivers are very cunning. If a traffic accident occurs, they will often pretend to admit responsibility. After moving the car to clear the road, they will immediately turn their backs and deny the person (the embassy announcement was not issued in this case. For details, please refer to the relevant embassy announcement);\x0d\F ． The quality of car rental companies varies. Some tourists clearly ordered a left-hand drive car with automatic transmission and Chinese navigation, but were given a completely different car. \x0d\ If you must drive by yourself, do your homework in advance, including road names, scenic spot names in English and French, route planning, yield rules, and Chinese navigation. You can download the "French Assistant" app, which is very helpful for finding the way. If you are stopped by the police while driving, remember not to try to reason with the police, just pretend that you do not understand English. Sorry, I don’t understand! \x0d\\x0d\2. Bus\x0d\ The bus stop in Maoqiu is very unique. The stop sign only has two big characters "BUS STOP". There is no first and last bus time, no route, no terminal station on the sign, and there are There is no return station across the road from the station, so getting on the wrong train will be really troublesome. \x0d\ If you really want to experience taking the bus, it’s best to find a local to guide you, or else really give up on this idea. \x0d\\x0d\3. Charter a car\x0d\ If you have already made your travel plans and plan to spend the whole day traveling between various attractions in Mauritius, a more economical way is to charter a car. This is the method chosen by most tourists, but there is no "industry standard" for prices. In other words, there are different prices. However, some people find local hotel staff to charter cars, and many people are forced to go shopping in some stores, and the itinerary may be changed. Therefore, it is safer to book a chartered car online in China, and the price is similar to the local one. A 7-week charter is good. \x0d\ \x0d\4. Rent a car\x0d\ Taking a taxi in the local area is also a type of chartered car. Taxis in Mauritius do not use meters. They are basically negotiated. If your English is not bad, bargain with the driver~\ x0d \\ , if you book from the local area, the number of people is not guaranteed, and you have to bring more money, the safety factor will be low. I often hear people say that money disappears. So it is better to book domestically, and the 7-week package is also good. \x0d\\x0d\Materials:\x0d\1. Whether you sign a contract with a travel agency or purchase a free travel package (hotel and air tickets) from a website, you must include the hotel confirmation form (XXhotel confirmed) and electronic ticket form (including passengers, flights , time form) from the mailbox, and make a few more copies for backup. \x0d\2. Passport: Try to carry it with you when you go out for fun. You need to show it when buying ship models, tobacco, alcohol, watches, diamonds and other items so that the salesperson can register the tax refund form. \x0d\3. Marriage certificate: Some hotels offer honeymoon packages (including one or more of free spa treatments, honeymoon dinner, honeymoon room decoration, honeymoon red wine, etc.), and a marriage certificate is required to prove identity. (It is best to bring the original documents) \x0d\4. If you have booked a day trip from the group, be sure to print out a few more copies of the itinerary and bring it with you (just in case). \x0d\\x0d\ 2. Electronic products\x0d\1. If you buy a local phone card, then bring a more ordinary mobile phone just to contact relatives in China. You can also provide your phone number to people traveling on a day trip. Please contact the person in charge. (Telecom mobile phones and other contract phones cannot use Maoqiu cards)\x0d\2. iPhone smart phones: Most hotels have WiFi and the phone also has a camera function, (Le Méridien Hotel does not have WiFi)\x0d\3. iPad type Tablets: Used to kill time on the plane\x0d\4. Cameras: You can go to a certain store to rent or buy underwater cameras to carry; SLRs, digital cameras, etc. should also be brought~\x0d\5. Power banks (power banks) , charging cable, terminal board, British adapter plug (same as Hong Kong plug), it is best to buy a universal converter (more sockets will definitely be good, two people are charging their mobile phones and cameras at the terminal board) \x0d \Note: Mobile power supplies can be carried with you and cannot be checked in. \x0d\\x0d\ 3. Clothing\x0d\ Mauritius only has two seasons: winter and summer. It is recommended to bring shorts and short sleeves. It is best to prepare one or two pieces of protective shirts and trousers.

One more thing for men to mention here: Maoqiu has a more European lifestyle, and dinner is very formal, so men must not wear shorts and slippers when dining in the hotel. So please bring your own travel shoes (or leather shoes) and long pants. \x0d\1. Flip-flops are a must for shopping, going to the beach, and playing in the sea. However, be careful of the waves washing away your shoes. It is advisable to bring two pairs per person. \x0d\2. Some short sleeves and shorts, which vary from person to person. It is recommended to bring some clothes that are easy to dry. \x0d\tips: For friends who have arranged a day trip to the sea (to see dolphins and deer islands), it is recommended to wear the dirty clothes from the previous day and bring a set of clean clothes with you so that you can change after getting wet. \x0d\3. Sun protection shirt, a must-have sun protection tool\x0d\4. Disposable underwear, this is really a good thing. First of all, you don’t have to worry about changing it every day and bringing too many underwear which will lead to bloated luggage. Secondly, daily disposable underwear is really convenient. , throw it away at night and wear new ones the next day. \x0d\tips: Some female friends should try to bring sanitary products with them, what if the aunt really comes? It’s so intoxicating to search for m scarves all over the world! \x0d\ (Shopping Tips: Available at Watsons, both men and women, 7 pairs in a bag, enough) \x0d\ 5. Swimwear: 2 pairs of men’s swimming trunks, 2 sets of women’s swimwear (it’s better to change when it gets wet, The beach is very tidal, and the swimsuit you used to swim in the sea on the first day may not be suitable for the next day)\x0d\tips: It is best for ladies to bring a one-piece swimsuit, so that chasing dolphins can avoid the embarrassment of the sea water washing away the bikini. \x0d\\x0d\ 4. Underwater products \x0d\ 1. Waterproof waist bag and waterproof mobile phone bag: This is a must-have item. Whether you are watching dolphins, visiting Deer Island or snorkeling, it is better to carry valuable things with you. \x0d\2. Snorkeling goggles and snorkels: Although these two items are available on the boat when you go out to sea, it is better to bring your own. Except for hygienic reasons, you don’t have to pay for it if your own things are broken~\x0d\3 .Flippers: It is not recommended to carry them at all. They are large and heavy, except for friends who are professional divers. They are all on the boat when you go out to sea. \x0d\4. Diving socks (coral diving shoes): Bring them according to the situation. If there are no snorkeling projects or underwater walking projects, you don’t need to bring them. They are mainly plastic shoes to prevent foot injuries. When walking on the bottom of the sea, Xiaohei Shoes will be provided, but except when you go snorkeling at Deer Island or Blue Bay at this time, you can still bring a pair of your own. \x0d\\x0d\5. Funds\x0d\Economic conditions are different and vary from person to person. \x0d\1. Exchange rate: 1 US dollar = 30 rupees, almost 1RMB = 5 rupees. This conversion into RMB is convenient for planning consumption when shopping. \x0d\2. Tip: It is best to change 20-30 1 dollar change, I will help you. The check-in attendant and the attendant who helps you carry your luggage can give you US$1-2. Every morning, one is placed on the bedside table for the cleaning staff. Give 1-2 tickets to the waiter for breakfast and dinner, and give the rest to the tour guide and driver depending on your mood. The stupid people will not reduce the service quality just because you don't pay for it. \x0d\3. Approximate consumption: If you don’t plan to shop, basically 200 US dollars per person is enough. If you plan to shop, then two people will exchange at least about 1,000 US dollars. You need to exchange 500 rupees at the airport first, and the rest of the US dollars can be used for shopping. \x0d\4. UnionPay card: This is a good thing. You can have less cash and bring two rich savings cards. \x0d\Visa or Master cards can be used there.
