Rohan's 6 days trip to Mauritius

We experienced so many aspects of this fascinating region of Mauritius. Engrossing and stimulating. The trip was varied, well paced and brilliantly organised. It's the second time we've been with Travel Triangle, and first with AGA Holidays which says everything about their efficiency, friendliness and organizational skills. Special token of appreciation to Aman from AGA Holidays for arranging this within a short notice.

Ghareanagha's 6 days trip to Mauritius

The trip was a good, awesome experience. The resort was also very nice. Few things to highlight - when we reached Mauritius airport we got to know that our itinerary has changed, which was disappointing Also, the driver has not covered all the sightseeing points. They skipped some points. Although the overall experience was good, we had a fun, very relaxing trip...

Nitin's 6 days trip to Mauritius

We had a very nice experience in Mauritius. The agent informed us about everything in advance so it was a breeze. The resort was very nice and the only thing missing was good food. They have indian options but very bland. Use salt generously and carry packaged aachar packets with you. We had a shared transport and fortunately our pickup was always last to we got plenty of time in the morning. Check that with your agent while booking or you can opt for private transfer. Most places accept cards without any charge but some places (mostly activities) charge a 3.5% premium on card. If you want all cash probably carry around 15k cash in MUR more if you want to enjoy all activities. Overall a very nice experience. Recommended things to do: Do undersea walk and the signature zip line (1.5 kms)
