Do's and Don'ts

Do's and Don'ts

Do's

Consult your General Practitioner/Family Doctor for advice on vaccination requirements if you intend to travel to far-away tropical countries. Please note that Mauritius is considered to be free of malaria.
Have some petty cash in the form of Mauritian currency from the bank or money changer even before your departure to Mauritius. If this is not possible then the next option is to have those changes at the airport on your arrival in Mauritius. For your information the currency used in this island is the Mauritian Rupee.
Take enough travel insurance cover for yourself (and your family).
Take one or two tubes of mosquito repellant if you intend to visit Mauritius in summer. As in some other tropical countries, there are only ordinary mosquitoes in Mauritius which are harmless and not dangerous to health, but simply annoying.

Don'ts

Do not swim in the sea where a danger notice is displayed.
Do not accept lift from strangers, especially if you are alone.
Do not venture alone into very isolated locations or on deserted beaches at night.
Do not leave your personal belongings or valuable items such as camera, webcam, purse, wallet, or handbag unattended in public places like beaches, parks, gardens, and pavements, as this might encourage theft.
Do not leave personal belongings or valuable items on the seat(s) of cars or buses unattended, as this might encourage theft.
