went there for new years 2009 - 2010
didn't stay in le morne i was up in the north called tour aux biches, good timing in fact as they had un usual ne winds so a very short trip for a kite.

the trades blow se and off shore at le morne, awesome wave one eye gotta hit that up mate even if you are a twin tipper. world class kegs.

as for places to stay google up some villa's as they will be much more cost efficient.
as for car hire they are all about the same, but just get it confirmed. we got let down at the airport and ended up with no car for the week.
crowded public transport for us.

fill ya boots mate you'll have an epic time.

for more info hit up Kelby Smart from west Oz Kiteboarding, he's from there and knows it very well.

have you tried asking in the windsurfing forum? they are super helpful there.

He is the man in the know when it comes to kite surfing in Mauritius. Mike has been running kite surfing trips there for a few years now and im sure he can point you in the right direction.
He showed me some pics and vid from his last trip there and the place looks like it is off the hook!

Def high on my list of places to kite and surf.

Hey Justin - Its a shame you're not coming earlier. Kitethrills is taking clients from 15 June - 27th July. We will have a pro photographer shooting everyone each day and a safety boat to enable us to kite the incredible waves offshore without ludicrous risk.

The place is really amazing... it always has more wind than the surrounding areas due to the landforms causing a venturi squeeze, it has an upwind current in the lagoon which is sandy / course coral and weed bottom about chest deep. Also another beginner area with super flat water and waist deep.

The waves are varied. An ankle biter for first timers to practice their rail to rail and kite movements with no consequence for mistakes, then waist high, head high or often double overheads. The set up has 6or more different waves at varying ability levels all from the one beach which also has flat water lagoon riding. Its super social on the beach. Awesome place!

August is also a good time to go regarding wind but there are a lot more crowds then as its the European summer holidays then. So we choose to go June to July - still well within the windy season, but more space on the beach, lagoons and waves.

I can suggest some good places to stay but how many are you?

here are some photos of the last trip

Gotta love that pool!

Late June for me and as far as accommodation goes I'm hoping to spend a bit of time in the green room.
