Helicopter Sightseeing Tour - Explore the West and South of Mauritius from High Above

Let the magic of Mauritius take over with this 40-minute Helicopter Sightseeing tour, bringing you the best of Mauritius.

A warm welcome awaits you at the Triolet base, where you can enjoy the comfort of the lounge while waiting to board the helicopter. You will receive a short briefing about your flight before the wonderful journey starts!

Seen from the sky, the busy city of Port-Louis is a wonderful sight. The sixteen silos of the Moulin de La Concorde and the ships at the dock will mark the beginning of your helicopter tour. Do not forget to keep an eye out for the Albion Lighthouse. You might even get to see the famous race tracks of Champ de Mars, the oldest horse race tracks in the Southern Hemisphere.

From flying over green spaces and blue lagoons, you will soon reach Benitiers Island (Ile aux Bénitiers), a diamond shaped coral island, which should make for quite a sight. Then, overlooking the south-western lagoon is the majestic Le Morne Brabant, an official UNESCO heritage site. This grand basaltic mountain with a summit of 556 metres (1,824 ft.) above sea level, bears an enormous cultural significance as a symbol of the slaves fight for freedom during the colonial period.

You will then fly over another wonder, the Underwater Waterfall. This natural illusion, with its shades of blue and green seem to plunge to infinity while at Chamarel, the kaleidoscope of coloured-earth will leave you in awe. The next site will be the Black River Gorges where you can admire the endemic flora and fauna of the reserve. Nearby you can admire the waterfalls of Tamarin, which appear as just thin curtains revealing rocky plates sculpted by nature.

En route back to the north of the island, the Pieter Both mountain is one of the key mountains of Mauritius. The legend tells of a man who broke a pact with angels and was thus transformed into mountain. Another iconic mountain you will see, is the Le Pouce mountain. If you haven’t been able to climb this mountain, then an overflight will be an absolute delight!
