What to See and Do in the indian ocean
Each destination offers its own unforgettable experiences. In the Maldives, spend your days snorkelling, relaxing in overwater villas, or enjoying spa treatments with ocean views. India invites you to explore colourful cities, palaces, temples, and the iconic Taj Mahal, as well as peaceful retreats in Goa or Kerala. Singapore is a buzzing citystate where futuristic architecture meets lush gardens, great shopping, and a world renowned food scene. In Mauritius, hike through volcanic landscapes, and unwind on tropical beaches. The Seychelles offer secluded coves, and scenic trails through jungle-covered islands — perfect for nature lovers and honeymooners alike.
Food & Drink in the indian ocean
Expect rich and diverse cuisine across the region. The Maldives serves fresh seafood, coconut based curries, and grilled fish with island spices. In India, enjoy everything from spicy street food to aromatic biryanis and creamy curries, with regional dishes changing from coast to coast. Singapore is a street food haven, where you’ll find everything from Chinese dim sum to Malay satay and Indian roti. Mauritian cuisine blends Creole, Indian, and French influences, offering dishes like rougaille and dholl puri. In the Seychelles, fresh fish, tropical fruits, and Creole stews are menu favourites. Local drinks range from fresh coconut water to rum and tropical cocktails.
Best Time to Visit
The Indian Ocean region enjoys warm weather year-round, but most destinations experience a dry season and a wetter monsoon period. Generally, the best time to visit is during the dry season, which falls between November and April for many locations like the Maldives, India, and Singapore, though some areas like Mauritius and the Seychelles are also great during the May to October window. Always check seasonal weather for your specific destination to avoid heavy rain or humidity if that’s a concern.
Average Flight Time
Flight times to the Indian Ocean vary, as most routes involve one stop:
Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius: approx. 13–16 hours
India: approx. 10–12 hours, depending on the region
Singapore: approx. 14–16 hours
Currency
Each destination has its own local currency:
Maldives – Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR)
India – Indian Rupee (INR)
Singapore – Singapore Dollar (SGD)
Mauritius – Mauritian Rupee (MUR)
Seychelles – Seychellois Rupee (SCR)
Major tourist areas widely accept credit cards, and in some places, Euros or US Dollars are also accepted.
Time Difference
Time zones in the Indian Ocean region are ahead of Ireland:
Most destinations are between +3 to +7 hours, depending on location and season.
Keep in mind that Ireland’s daylight saving time may slightly affect the difference.
