Helicopter Tour of Mauritius

Air Leisure operates scenic flights from their base near the airport and from landing pads at several hotels. The standard route covers the south-west — flying over the Black River Gorges, the Chamarel 7-Coloured Earths, the Le Morne peninsula, and the southern lagoon before crossing the mountains and returning via the east coast. The aerial perspective of the shallow turquoise lagoon against the deep blue ocean is extraordinary.
