Mauritius · HELICOPTER TOURS
From the air the sand banks off Le Morne read as an underwater waterfall, which is the reason almost everyone books one. These 4 compare flight length, departure point and price per seat.
Take off from Palmar Beach with a pilot speaking English or French, then view Mauritius from a private seaplane. Choose a 15, 20, or 30-minute route over Belle Mare, Île aux Cerfs, the eastern lagoon, Grande Rivière Sud-Est waterfall, Lion Mountain, and the famous underwater waterfall illusion. Transport and aerial photos cost extra.
Fly over Mauritius for 45 minutes with hotel transfers included. The route passes Tamarin, Isle of Bénitiers, Le Morne, the underwater waterfall illusion, Chamarel, Pouce, and Pieter Both.

“It’s was very interesting flying trip with a lot of new emotions”
Take a private 15 to 40 minute seaplane flight from Mauritius’ east coast over turquoise lagoons, Île aux Cerfs, Amber Island, and Grand River South East Waterfalls. You’ll see beaches, reefs, small islands, and waterfalls from above. Flights depend on weather, so confirm your launch point and keep your schedule flexible.
“Incredible views from the plane. My flight has been rescheduled a few times due to poor weather. It is common on this island because it’s windy and rains unexpectedly. The pilot is experienced. The booking process is simple and streamless despite the customer service’s English just allows her to get by. It is best you use text to communicate with them via WhatsApp.”
Fly from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport with a pilot speaking English or French. In 40 minutes, you’ll see Grand Bassin, Kanaka Crater, Black River Gorges, Flic en Flac, the Underwater Waterfall, Chamarel’s Colored Earths, and South Coast views. The helicopter carries no more than five participants.
Pick a coast, a summit or a market hall.
