INFO
Best time to travel From May to November ( dry season ). The sharks off Round Island can be seen in the European winter months .
Getting there From many international airports with a direct flight ( duration approx . eleven hours ) or with stopovers in hubs such as Abu Dhabi , Qatar and Dubai to Port Louis on Mauritius . The Orca Diveclub organizes a perfect taxi transfer directly to the destination hotel ( approx . 55 euros ).
Staying If you prefer the short route to the diving center and don ‘ t need a luxury hotel , the Hibiscus Boutique Hotel is the perfect place . The family-friendly house has a pool surrounded by palm trees ( right ); 50 meters at each side are little-visited sandy beach with a bathing bay ( bottom ).
The 3-star hotel , built in colonial style , is not a new building , but is far from just a simple diving hotel . Other accommodations from B & B to “ pure luxury ” are just a few minutes ’ walk away in town .
