The Above & beyond difference...

We believe in the personal touch, so unlike other companies, we won’t pack you tightly onto a mini bus for our tours of the island, you won’t have to wait while others finish their shopping, and you won’t have to wait while the guide translates in 3 different languages.

Our tours include a fully qualified English speaking driver guide and while the itineraries have been set, you are free to set your own pace. Take one of our suggested tours or we can tailor make an individual itinerary.

Mauritius a small but exotic teardrop in the heart of the Indian Ocean, so small you can drive from East to the West Coast in 1 hour. Discover the island about which the famous author Mark Twain once wrote “You gather that Mauritius was made first, and then heaven was copied after Mauritius”.

Passport & visa: Australian passport holders who are travelling as tourists do not require a visa for Mauritius or Seychelles and Reunion. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of return and you must hold an onward ticket out of the country. If you are travelling beyond these countries to Europe or Africa you will need to check that you have the correct documentation.

Weather: Summer is from November to April with average lows of 23°C and highs up to 33°C with higher humidity. Winter is from May to October offering mild and warm sunny days with low humidity. For those who feel the cold we recommend a light jacket or pashmina in the evening. Average lows in winter range from 17°C to maximum of 26°C.

electricity: The islands of Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles vary – it is recommended that you take with you a multi UK/Europe adaptor.

What to Wear? What to Take?: Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles are tropical islands so pack accordingly. Reunion in the winter

can get cold if you are visiting the Cirques it has been known to snow there. During the day casual clothing is the norm. Ties and dinner jackets are not required, but the hotels do require a dress code at night of no shorts for men. Gentlemen are required to wear long trousers.

Getting around: In Mauritius and Reunion it is easy to rent a car and we can happily arrange this before you leave. You will require an international drivers license. Mauritius has public transport and it is easy to use, however, if you are in a hurry we recommend you take a local taxi. In Reunion there are local buses but they are in French.

Language: The official language of Mauritius is English but French and Creole is the common language, the majority of people in Mauritius are multi lingual and you will not have any trouble. In Reunion French is the national language and while some English is spoken in the hotels it is not widely used. The Seychelles like Mauritius, you will find the people speak English, French and the local Creole.

Local representatives: From the moment you arrive you will be greeted by one of our representatives in Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles. Our people on the ground are there to assist you during your stay, they will check during your holiday that everything is running smoothly.

Some 560km north-east of Mauritius lies Rodrigues: the jewel in the crown of the Mascarene Islands – a 18km by 8km pearl surrounded by a crystalline blue lagoon twice its size. Rodrigues is reminiscent of a peaceful and idyllic life that existed in days gone by.

The secure waters of the lagoon and the trade winds that gently buffer the island provide

many opportunities for the adventurous. Rodrigues is a wonderful playground for scuba divers who quickly fall in love with the diverse coral reef eco-system and its colourful assortment of sub-aquatic flora

and fauna. Equally, the island appeals to those with a love of windsurfing, kite-

surfing, sailing and fishing. Thanks to its outer reef edges sitting nearly 10km away from

the coastline, the waters are rich in fish. In fact, no fewer than three world record catches have been hooked here since 2005.

discover The seycheLLesSitting like sparkling jewels just under the equator, lie 115 exquisite granite and coral islands, which make up The Seychelles. Long considered as one of the most beautiful island countries, you will discover powder soft beaches, turquoise lagoons teaming with tropical fish making them a diver’s paradise, and hotels ranging from lavish 5 star to small and intimate boutique resorts.

The best way to discover what The Seychelles have to offer is to get out on the ocean. Why not discover the Inner Islands with our scheduled yacht tours or perhaps your own private charter.

Mahe: Victoria, the capital city, and the international airport are located on Mahe, the largest island of The Seychelles. Flights and local ferries to the outer and inner islands depart from Mahe. The majority of the population live on Mahe and here you can discover local culture through the many local restaurants and arts and craft galleries, hire a car or do a 3 hour tour of the island or find a hidden treasure.

Praslin: Only 45kms northeast of Mahe and the second largest island, Praslin only measures 10km by 3.7km.

The beaches of Anze Lazio and Anze Georgette are regularly voted in the Top 10 List of the world’s best beaches.

La digue: An island where time stands still, only 10sq kms in area, you will still find people getting around by ox cart. Hop on a bicycle and get into the island way of life, visit the traditional boat builders or swim at the breathtaking beaches, such as legendary Anse Source d’Argent, reputed to be the most photographed beach in the world.

other inner islands: Bird Island, Cerf, Cousine, Denis Island, Fregate, North Island, Silhouette, Round Island and St Anne offer accommodation from simple bungalows on the beach to luxurious chalets with butler service. Our staff will be happy to put together the ultimate island-hopping holiday.

outer islands: 72 low-lying sand cays and atolls are less visited than the Inner islands but just as beautiful. They are pristine miniature worlds offering pristine diving, snorkelling, fishing and sailing. Only two islands Alphonse and Desroches offer accommodation.
