Aerial experiences offer an all-access pass to the island's most popular sites. Viewing the Mauritius underwater waterfall illusion from above is by far the best way to marvel at this natural phenomenon. Fly over nearby Le Morne Brabant mountain and Black River Gorges Park, a green paradise. Witness vibrant coral reefs, ochre rock formations at Chamarel Seven Coloured Earths Geopark, and undulating fields of sugar cane fields. The dormant volcanic crater besides Trou aux Cerfs is sure to wow you.

While helicopter tours in Mauritius are quite popular, seaplane tours have extra benefits. Get the same stunning views at a better value thanks to more flexible itineraries and departure points, since seaplanes can take off and land on the water. Passengers will enjoy the smoother flights, comfortable seats, and panoramas of the pristine coastline and diverse landscapes at lower altitudes. Seeing Mauritius from the air is sure to be the highlight for your romantic escape or family holiday in Mauritius.
