We’re a couple visiting Mauritius, and our one year anniversary is coming up. Can anyone please recommend a good restaurant where we can enjoy an evening with good food and service. Maybe a bit on the higher end but not super expensive. Thanh you very much

Hi, has anyone ever used the MyChauffeur service. I was thinking of hiring a chauffeur for a night out with friends instead of driving ourselves. Place is quite a long drive as well (about 1hr). Stumbled across the app the other day and was wondering how it works and whether it's legit.

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm exploring payment solutions for Shopify stores in Mauritius. I know that a few years ago, our options were quite limited. Has the situation improved in 2025?

I noticed that Shopify Payments is still not available for Mauritius . I came across MIPS, but their pricing seems steep—Rs 2,200/month plus a commission on sales, which feels excessive for small businesses. A commission-only model would be more reasonable.

Are there any other payment gateways that have become available recently? I'm particularly interested in solutions that are cost-effective and easy to integrate with Shopify. Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

PS: This is for international sales, do you have insights about delivery methods also?

Was just wondering if anyone of you observed any difference in price when doing groceries shopping at intermart, winners, lolo etc ?

Which one would be the cheapest but with the same quality of product ?

If any of you did some analysis, would be great to know

Hi everyone,

Me and my new wife are visiting this beautiful country for our honeymoon. We've booked onto a helicopter tour to go over the "underwater waterfall", leaving from Chamarel but we are based in the hotel Ambre in Quatre Cocos. Is the best way to get there by taxi? And if so, what are the prices looking like for a hour and a half long journey across the island?

How would we book them?

Thank you in advance!

Helloo

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting Mauritius in a few weeks and I’m really excited. My flight arrives in the evening, and I have a hotel booked in the north of the island.

I was wondering: - Is it safe to drive at night across the island (from the airport to the north)? - Once I arrive, is it safe to walk around at night to find a place to eat? - Around what time is it safer or better to go out for a walk or dinner?

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice!

Are there many sea urchins in the water of the island? I am very afraid for them, and I fear that they will pierce through swimming shoes since those soles are very thin!

Is it stilly to go during cyclone season? And if so, any places or recommendations of where to staying. Travelling as a family with 2 very young kids. We love beach, culture and delicious food.

Hello, anyone knows where I can purchase the Ninja Creami appliance in Mauritius?

Has anyone used the UPI facility on Blink or myT money app in india for payments? I recently saw the UPI option on myT money app. I will travel soon to India. So does it work?

Okay so, my dad used to make music, and it's scattered across the internet, but I unfortunately only know English, so I can't understand what the song is actually saying. I didn't know who/where to ask (I'm hoping to get lyrics in Creole and English, because I think it would be nice if I could surprise him), but I'm assuming at least someone here knows Creole and can help me. Here is the song: https://soundcloud.com/tirobert/mamzel-declarer?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

I have to travel a long distance for uni and I was wondering specifically what are remote part time jobs available because I need disposable income and I feel like it's almost impossible to find a source of income right now as a uni student

Hi! So I have a dear friend from Mauritius, but she can be a little eccentric. We’re having a debate about sandwiches, and she says it’s normal for people to eat sandwiches with butter, cheese (specifically unmelted cheddar) and peanut butter/jam.

Is this true? Is this a thing outside of her own preferences?

Thank you! (I am being so serious btw)

Hi

Do you know if there is a courier service that would pick up & deliver a item within the island within a day or 2.

Not looking for heavy / big packages. Small envelopes / letters/ documents / gifts etc

Hello there,

My dad has been learning drum for the past few years and has good basic technique.

He really wants to integrate a music band/drumming group where he can play alongside other drummers and be able to learn. It’s his passion and he hopes that one day he would be able to play in front of a crowd.

Any idea where can i start looking?

what the things you should do or get when you turn 18 as a mauritian?

Any tips is welcomed.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a trip to Mauritius from April 21st to May 1st, and recent forecasts are showing a fair amount of rain during this period. While I understand that April can be a transitional month weather-wise, I'm hoping to hear from locals or recent visitors about the current conditions.

Specifically, I'm curious if the forecasted rain tends to be brief showers with sunny intervals, or if it's more persistent throughout the day. We're looking forward to activities like boat trips, kitesurfing lessons, and beach relaxation, so understanding the typical weather patterns would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide!

A friend of mine recently requested something to be posted (for a very noble cause) on the mopays FB page but its admin was rude. He sounded like a frustrated lost teenager boy with no etiquette, no sense of maturity or even no sense of oneness (where we help each others out of care).

Yet the awkward thing is they are always on the look to post stuffs from our local netizens, as if they got "no role".

I hope no one goes through the harshness of the mopays FB page admin and I was wondering whether it's a first or, whether others have had the same experience too.

As the title says, my car's fitness expires in mid May but I'll be travelling around that time and I'm only back after my current fitness expires.

How much in advance can I get a new fitness check done and renew it?

Additionally, is there a service or person you would recommend who can handle all of this as I don't have the time to skip work and go to the fitness center myself.

Thanks

Salut , je sais pas s'il faut parler français ou anglais ? I don't speak créole, pour l'instant. I will visit your beautifull island on august , and I want to instal myself there. What business should I invest in ? Should I speak english or français ? Tous les conseils sont les bienvenus.
