Overview

Experience one of the world’s most stunning natural illusions on this 40-minute helicopter tour over Mauritius. Take off from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport and soar across lush forests, turquoise lagoons, volcanic craters, and the island’s famous coastline before reaching the breathtaking highlight — the Underwater Waterfall illusion off Le Morne Brabant.

This mesmerizing optical illusion, created by the movement of sand and silt beneath the surface, gives the appearance of a waterfall plunging deep into the ocean. Visible only from above, it’s one of the most spectacular sights in the Indian Ocean — and one you’ll never forget.

Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of Black River Gorges National Park, Chamarel’s Colored Earths and waterfalls, the sacred Grand Bassin Temple, and the serene beaches of Flic en Flac and Black River.
