About the Ultimate Private Helicopter Sightseeing Tour (75 Minutes)

This private helicopter sightseeing tour is the perfect way of viewing all of the key wonders and sites of Mauritius if you're short on time, or simply want to contemplate on the paradise island from high up. Start this great adventure and get a bird's eye view of Mauritius from a comfortable, executive helicopter.

Seen from the sky, the busy city of Port-Louis is a wonderful sight. As you soar above, you will fly past the majestic Pieter Both mountain, a uniquely-shaped mountain that has a boulder sitting proudly on its peak, followed by the thumb-shaped mountain known as Le Pouce. These mountains are among the highest peaks in Mauritius, standing at over 800 metres high.

The helicopter will then head to the South of Mauritius, where the magnificent waterfalls of Tamarind, in the middle of greenery, will gradually come into view. High up in the sky, the breathtaking scenery unfolding in front of your eyes will surely make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

As you move further south, you will approach the Black River Gorges, a nature lover’s delight; rich with endemic fauna and flora. As you overfly the gorges, you will have the splendid opportunity to catch a glimpse of gorgeous birds.

After a detour over Benitiers Island (Ile aux Bénitiers), a small coral island off the south-west coast, you will be enthralled with the Underwater Waterfall near Le Morne Brabant. The view of the Underwater Waterfall is absolutely spectacular when seen from a helicopter and by many, it is considered a true wonder not to be missed. Le Morne Brabant, on the other hand, is an official UNESCO heritage site with a summit of 556 metres above sea level, and is an iconic cultural symbol.

After the illusionary Underwater Waterfall, the helicopter will head North, crossing other stunning natural wonders on its path. Before you even have time to ponder over the fact that you have flown over the rainbow-coloured earths of Chamarel, you will be in for another surprise! Have you ever seen an islet right in the middle of a lake? Ganga Talao (also known as Grand Bassin) will provide you with this unique sight. The dormant crater turned spiritual lake, will give you an insight of the local culture and geographic formation of the island. As you fly over the famous Mauritian tea fields, you will also come across another dormant volcanic crater, the Kanaka Crater.

On the east of the island, revel in aerial views of Ile aux Aigrettes, a nature islet reserve where endemic plant and animal species are bred. You will also fly over Ile au Phare, where the historical naval battle between the French and English took place.

Head in the direction of the famous Ile aux Cerfs island, which stands out with its unusually white sandy beaches and magnificent golf-course. Next is the Ile d’Ambre island, located just off the north coast of Mauritius where the Saint-Géran ship was sunk a few centuries ago and inspired the legendary story of Paul and Virginie by the French writer Bernardin de Saint-Pierre .

The Coin de Mire (Gunner’s Coin) islet located off the North Coast is your next sight to see - you’ll instantly recognise its iconic shape and may even catch a glimpse of other distant islets. Fly over the famed red roof church as you continue your way across Cap Malheureux village and admire the swarm of daily activities in the lively coastal village of Grand Baie along with the array of fishing boats from high up the sky.

As part of this tour, you get to choose to take off from the base in the north of the island or a helipad in a selected region of your choice - and as such the route and itinerary may vary.

The private helicopter sightseeing tour ensures that you will be able to enjoy this extraordinary experience with only the ones you love. At the end of this amazing helicopter sightseeing tour, you will understand why this trip is definitely one of the best things you can do in Mauritius.
