Experience Mauritius from the Sky with a Helicopter Tour
Board the helicopter for a journey of a lifetime in Mauritius! Discover from the air the most stunning views of the azure, white and green palettes of the Mauritian coast and inland with its lagoons and pristine beaches as well as a bird's eye view of the Black River Gorges National Park to the geometric patches of the sugarcane fields.
Why Choose a Helicopter Tour in Mauritius
Mauritius is famous for its beaches, lagoons and tropical scenery. But seeing it from the sky takes the experience to a whole new level.
A helicopter tour lets you discover parts of the island that are difficult to fully appreciate from the ground. From above, the colours of the lagoons become more vivid, the reefs form fascinating patterns and the dramatic mountains stand out against the ocean.
It is also one of the most exciting ways to explore the south-west coast. Whether you are visiting as a couple, with friends or as a family, a helicopter tour creates a moment you will remember long after your holiday ends.
The Phenomenon of the Underwater Waterfall in Mauritius
One of the most fascinating sights in Mauritius is the famous underwater waterfall near Le Morne Brabant.
At first glance, it looks like the ocean is cascading into a giant waterfall beneath the sea. In reality, this breathtaking illusion is created by sand and silt sliding down the ocean floor where the shallow lagoon drops suddenly into deep water.
From above, the contrast between the turquoise lagoon and the darker depths creates the illusion of a waterfall flowing underwater.
It is one of the most photographed natural wonders in Mauritius and something that truly needs to be seen from the air to be fully appreciated.
Helicopter Tours as the Best Way to See the Underwater Waterfall
While you can visit the beaches around Le Morne, the underwater waterfall can only be properly seen from above. This is where helicopter tours become truly special.
From the sky, you can really appreciate the full beauty of the illusion. The lagoon seems to flow straight into the deep ocean, while the surrounding coral reefs and sandbanks create beautiful patterns in the water. It is a view that feels almost surreal and one that truly takes your breath away.
As you fly over the area, you will also enjoy stunning views of Le Morne Brabant and the beautiful southwest coastline. From this unique perspective, an already breathtaking landscape becomes even more extraordinary.
Aerial Views of Bel Ombre
As the helicopter continues along the coast, you will fly over the beautiful region of Bel Ombre. From above, the contrast between lush landscapes and vibrant lagoons creates stunning views.
