Flight
For the flight to Mauritius, we can highly recommend Condor! The nonstop flight from Frankfurt to Port Louis takes about 11 hours and costs 270 EUR for a one-way ticket. They offer delicious food, the legroom in Economy class is ok, and the service is always excellent! For more luxury, you can book extras, for example, premium menu, entertainment, etc. You can fly directly in Premium, or Business class, from 700 EUR to 1500 EUR respectively.
Transfer
From the airport, you can take a taxi. We found it much more relaxing than driving a rental car on the left side of the road. It takes about 1 hour to Le Morne and costs around 60 EUR (2500 rupees).We can highly recommend Taxi driver Dany (Phone +230 5946-2899) – he is reliable, kind, and took such good care of us – thank you! He drove us around several times, once completely around the island, a 4 to 5 hour trip, for about 250 EUR in total.
Tips

Hindus in Mauritius also celebrate the colorful Holi Festival. The festival of colors always takes place 14 days before the Indian New Year in March.
Honeymoon with children is indeed possible in Mauritius. It is malaria free, and the time difference is small, only 2 hours. Temperatures are tropically warm, and there are many animals to discover in the ocean and on land. Children up to 12 years often stay free of charge in their parents’ room. Of course, the flight is quite long, it takes about 12 hours, but it’s usually at night, and infants under 2 receive a standard 90% discount with Condor.
Have a wonderful honeymoon!
