Private Helicopter Trip: Mauritius' Underwater Waterfall & Landmarks

The main highlight of this activity, aside from it being a private helicopter tour which you can share with only your close ones, is that you get to see the iconic Underwater Waterfall of Mauritius!

The helicopter crew will greet you upon arrival at the airport/helipad of your choice and once ready, you will board one of the helicopters, equipped with 5 passenger seats, accommodating just you and your close ones.

Enjoy spectacular views of the coastline, the fantastic silhouettes of Le Morne Brabant Mountain and the unbelievable Underwater Waterfall. The Underwater Waterfall of Mauritius with a spectacular gamut of greens, blues, and whites, creates a deceiving impression that it drops down just like a raging waterfall.

Depending on where your take-off point is, you get to see other remarkable features and sites of the island, such as the Chamarel Coloured Earth - a truly unique site to see from above.

At the southwestern part of the island, you will also get to see stunning panoramas of the Indian Ocean, the turquoise lagoons, and fascinating coral reefs, followed by purely white sandy beaches bordered by palm trees.

A trained and experienced helicopter pilot, according to global safety standards, will guide you throughout your amazing trip.

Flying over this picturesque Underwater Waterfall is a rewarding experience you will cherish forever!
