Discovering Mauritius from the sky is a unique and unforgettable experience, which will be the highlight of your stay on this paradise island. With a variety of stunning landscapes, a helicopter flight over Mauritius, in addition to providing amazing thrills, will give those lucky enough to experience this unique adventure a lifetime of memories.
Helicopter tours offer panoramic aerial views of Mauritius that are simply amazing and fantastic. Although the beauty of the beaches and the transparency of the lagoons will take your breath away, the flight over the island is also an opportunity to discover the central part of the island, its endemic and sometimes inaccessible forests as well as the delicate coastline combining crystal clear lagoons and white sandy beaches. Between the shades of green of the endemic forests and the turquoise of the lagoons, the pink veil of the sugar canes in bloom, the sensual curves of Mauritius’ mountains, the foam of the waterfalls and the royal blue of the open sea beyond the coral reefs, it is the whole heart of the island that will beat in osmosis with yours. The transparency of the lagoons will never seem so idyllic, nor the ribbons of beaches so tempting!
Choose the tour that best suits your needs: a breathtaking flight to discover the coastline, an inland flight to discover the Black River Gorges and its waterfalls, and why not a romantic wedding demand above the underwater waterfall?
In the south of the island, the splendid optical illusion of the underwater waterfall of Le Morne. This phenomenon is due to a geological formation that is unique in the world. During the helicopter flight over the island, you really get the impression of an underwater waterfall pouring its dark waters into the abyss. The view is absolutely spectacular and mystifying, with a perfect illusion. The phenomenon has geological explanations linked to the volcanic formation of the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean 8 million years ago.
Located on one of the largest underwater ocean plateaus, less than 150 metres below sea level a sandfall goes down to more than 4000 meters deep at the bottom of the abyss and as a result of this process ocean currents push the sand from nearby beaches off the plateaus, producing the effect of a waterfall.
Capture this beautiful phenomenon among your other memories of this unforgettable helicopter tour.
There are several companies offering such activities, including the local airline, with experienced pilots and several tours of 15 to 45 minutes are available. Whether you want a romantic experience with a sunset in a helicopter or live the absolute dream, the grand tour of the island, your flight will bring about many sensations and an undying love for Mauritius.
You can do this activity as one of 4 or 6 passengers or privatize the helicopter for the ultimate and exclusive experience.
