MAURITIUS BORDERS REMAIN CLOSSED for JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021.

For travel in 2021 we recommend that you reserve the land portion of your package only. 

NO DEPOSITS are required for Beachcomber, and other tour operators, until the Mauritius’s border re-opening date for tourists is announced.  Air Mauritius has cancelled flight operations till the end of March 2021.

Airlines are not offering refunds, however - they do permit amending air tickets to alternative travel dates. This is why we suggest that only land arrangements are booked for the time being.
