Whether you are an amateur or a professional photographer, we are here to make your dreams come true. Depending on your preference choose the 15, 30, 45 or 60 minute helicopter flight for your photo/video shoot. In case, you wish to have some specific locations we can arrange the tour for a maximum duration of 60 minutes.

We provide you with a once in a lifetime opportunity to have an aerial photography session from a moving helicopter rather than using a tripod on the ground below.

Taking pictures with the doors off offers an amazing photography experience where you will have the chance to capture crisp and clear photographs and videos, as there won’t be glass in between your lenses and the magnificent views.

The experienced pilots will bring you to the best locations possible and the helicopter will generally fly at a lower elevation, so that you can capture the best shots.

This aerial photography and filming helicopter tour will bring you to some exciting and pristine sites of Mauritius where you will get awe-inspiring views of the magnificent topography including colourful houses, green trees, and winding streets on land. From the extraordinary Chamarel Colored Earths, to the high mountains of the Black River Region, the pious Grand Bassin Crater Lake, and the phenomenal Underwater Waterfall, the list is endless!
