Real people, on the island, in Mauritius time

How do I send flowers and gifts to Mauritius from Australia?

Order online from Australia before 11:30am Mauritius time - which is 5:30pm on the east coast, 6:30pm during daylight saving and 3:30pm in Perth - and DodoMarket makes your bouquet, cake or hamper on the island and hand-delivers it the same day, anywhere in Mauritius, seven days a week. Nothing is posted from Australia, so there is no parcel to track, no customs form to fill in and nothing for your family to pay when it arrives.

What you get

Fresh flowers, handmade cakes, chocolates, Mauritian gift hampers and personalised gifts - chosen online from Australia and prepared by our own team in Mauritius, not shipped out from Perth, Melbourne or Sydney.

How fast

Same day if you order before the cut-off, otherwise next day or the exact date you choose at checkout. Handmade cakes need about 48 hours.

What it costs

Bouquets start at Rs 999 (about A$30) and Mauritian hampers at Rs 1,550 (about A$46). Delivery from Rs 399 (about A$12); the final rate depends on the service and delivery date and is shown before payment. DodoPrime members pay less - from Rs 199, and nothing at all on standard delivery for orders over Rs 1,999 (about A$59) outside peak dates.

Same-day cut-off

11:30am in Mauritius, which is UTC+4 and never changes for daylight saving. That is 5:30pm AEST in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, 6:30pm AEDT while daylight saving runs from October to April, and 3:30pm AWST in Perth. Order during your afternoon and it goes out the same day; order later and it goes the next.

Where we deliver

Everywhere in Mauritius - Port Louis, Curepipe, Quatre Bornes, Grand Baie, Flic-en-Flac, Mahébourg and the villages in between - every day of the week, weekends included.

Proof of delivery

We confirm the delivery and send you a photo, so you can see it arrived and what it looked like when it did.

Australian dollar amounts on this page are indicative conversions at early-September 2026 rates (roughly Rs 34 to A$1), shown only to help you budget. Checkout is in Mauritian rupees (MUR): your Australian bank converts at its own rate on the day and we never charge you in Australian dollars.

When Mauritius celebrates - and when to order from Australia

The island's calendar does not line up with the Australian one, and two of the dates fall in different months entirely. These are the dates Mauritian families keep, with the collection to order from.

  • Divali8 November 2026. Order by 6 November so it lands before the lamps go out.Divali gifts
  • Christmas25 December. Our busiest week of the year - order by 20 December.Christmas gifts & treats

Order direct from the actual florist, not through a relay site

Most sites that rank for "send flowers to Mauritius" never touch the flowers. They take your order in dollars or euros, pass it to a shop on the island and keep the difference - which is why their prices are quoted as ranges and their delivery fee only appears at the payment step. DodoMarket is the shop on the island. Here is what the same order looks like both ways.

What the same gift costs, ordered through a relay site and ordered direct

  • Who actually prepares it

    Our own team in Mauritius buys the flowers, makes the arrangement and drives it to the door. Relay sites describe their fulfilment as a partner florist serving the selected area - which florist, you find out afterwards, if at all.

  • One price, in rupees

    Every price here is the price, in Mauritian rupees. Delivery from Rs 399; the final rate depends on the service and delivery date and is shown before payment. No city surcharge, and no fee that only appears once your card details are in.

  • Nobody in the middle

    You are buying from the shop, not from a booking layer taking a commission on top. And if something needs fixing, the people who made the gift are the people who answer on +230 5510 8188.

Why Australian Senders Choose DodoMarket

Cheaper Than Posting from Australia

Skip Australia Post, courier fees and the import duty that lands on almost every parcel. We source everything in Mauritius, so your whole budget goes into the gift - not postage and taxes.

No Customs - Guaranteed

Post a gift from Australia and it's almost certain to be taxed - parcels from abroad attract Mauritian import duty once you add up the gift and the shipping. Ours never reach customs: every gift is prepared and delivered on the island.

The Cut-Off Lands in Your Afternoon

Our same-day cut-off is 11:30am Mauritius time - 5:30pm AEST, 6:30pm AEDT in daylight saving, 3:30pm in Perth. Order after lunch and your family can have it the same day; order later and it goes the next morning on the island.

Pay Online from Australia

Check out in minutes with your usual Australian card. Prices are in Mauritian rupees (Rs) - a Rs 2,550 hamper is about A$75 at early-September 2026 rates - and your own bank does the conversion. We never charge you in Australian dollars.

Support in Mauritius Time

Mauritius is 6 hours behind eastern Australia (7 in daylight saving) and 4 behind Perth. Message us on WhatsApp at +230 5510 8188 and we'll confirm delivery and send photos.

Authentic Local Gifts

Mauritian chocolates, teas, rum and artisanal treats your family can't get from an Australian shop - and you won't find on global gift sites.

Sending Gifts to Mauritius from Australia: Common Questions

Same day, if you order before 11:30am Mauritius time - which is 5:30pm AEST in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, 6:30pm AEDT from October to April, and 3:30pm AWST in Perth. There is no international shipping involved, because we are already on the island. Order after the cut-off and it goes the next day, or on the exact date you choose at checkout. Handmade cakes need about 48 hours.

No - nothing, ever. A parcel posted from Australia almost always gets taxed: Mauritius charges import duty on parcels from abroad, and the value of the gift plus the shipping is usually enough to trigger it. Because we buy, make and deliver everything inside Mauritius, there is no parcel, no customs entry and no fee for your recipient to pay at the door.

Your card is charged in Mauritian rupees (MUR). You pay with your normal Australian Visa, Mastercard or Amex, and your bank converts at its own rate exactly as it would on holiday - there is no currency selector on this site because we are a Mauritian shop quoting Mauritian prices. To help you budget, Rs 1,000 is roughly A$30 at early-September 2026 rates. DodoMarket does not add a separate currency-conversion fee; your card issuer's exchange rate and fees may apply.

Mauritius is UTC+4 all year and never changes its clocks, so the gap shifts with your own daylight saving, not ours. Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart and Brisbane are 6 hours ahead of the island on standard time; the first four go 7 hours ahead from October to April, while Brisbane stays at 6. Adelaide and Darwin are 5.5 hours ahead (6.5 for Adelaide in daylight saving), and Perth is 4 hours ahead all year. Our 11:30am cut-off therefore falls at 5:30pm AEST, 6:30pm AEDT or 3:30pm in Perth - your afternoon, not the middle of your night. Order before you leave work for same-day delivery in Mauritius; order over dinner and it arrives there the next morning. For Divali, Christmas and Valentine's Day, order a day or two early.

Yes to both. We hand-deliver anywhere in Mauritius - Port Louis, Curepipe, Quatre Bornes, Grand Baie, Flic-en-Flac, Mahébourg and every village between - and flowers and gifts go out every day of the week, weekends included. Add the recipient's local mobile number so our driver can call or WhatsApp if a gate or a building needs opening.

We tell you, and we show you. Once the gift is handed over, our team confirms the delivery and sends you a photo of it - so you are not left refreshing a tracking page 9,000 km away wondering whether "delivered" meant delivered.

We make what you see, in our own workshop in Mauritius, so we are not relaying your order to a stranger's shop and hoping. If a seasonal stem genuinely runs out on the day, we contact you first - WhatsApp or email - before anything changes, including the colour of the arrangement. We would rather ask than quietly substitute and call it a similar alternative.

Us - on +230 5510 8188, by phone or WhatsApp. That is a Mauritius number answered by the team that prepared your gift, in Mauritius time (UTC+4), which is your morning in Australia. Relay platforms typically publish only UK or US call-centre numbers, because there is nobody of theirs on the island to reach.

What Australian Mauritians Send For

Festivals & Holidays

The island celebrates them all - and so does the Australian Mauritian community:

Divali, Eid, Christmas, Chinese Spring Festival, Holi. Send sweets, hampers and flowers to mark the day, wherever you are.

Shop Hampers

Family Milestones

Be there for the big moments from afar:

Birthdays, anniversaries, a new baby, exam results, Mother's & Father's Day. A surprise gift says "I'm thinking of you" better than a call.

Birthday Cakes

Just Because

No occasion needed:

Thinking of you, get well, sympathy, or simply missing home. Sometimes the best gifts are the unexpected ones.
