Overview

Take to the skies for an unforgettable private helicopter tour over Mauritius’s most iconic natural wonders. This 45-minute flight offers a rare opportunity to see the island’s lush forests, volcanic landscapes, and world-renowned Underwater Waterfall illusion from a breathtaking aerial perspective.

Your journey begins with a panoramic flyover of Grand Bassin, a sacred crater lake revered by Mauritius’s Hindu community. From there, soar over the lush slopes of Kanaka Crater and the dramatic expanse of Black River Gorges National Park, home to dense forests, deep ravines, and cascading waterfalls.

Heading toward the west coast, admire the pristine beaches of Flic en Flac and the rugged Black River coastline. The highlight of your tour is the spectacular Underwater Waterfall illusion — a natural optical phenomenon where sand and silt create the illusion of a waterfall plunging deep into the ocean.

Before returning, you’ll fly over the Chamarel Colored Earths and their magnificent waterfalls, a kaleidoscope of color surrounded by lush greenery — the perfect finale to this aerial adventure.
