Description

Take a helicopter flight over the most beautiful landscapes of the island: cirques, waterfalls and volcanoes are yours for the taking! 

Create an unforgettable memory of your stay on Reunion Island with this 55-minute flight that will allow you to make a complete tour of the island from the air!

From the Saint-Gilles les Bains heliport, you will discover your helicopter and meet the crew who will explain the safety rules. You will then take a seat on board the spacious, modern and comfortable helicopter for a memorable flight over Reunion Island.

During your flight you will be able to see, among other things, the three cirques of Mafate, Salazie and Cilaos, as well as the Trou de Fer, one of the highest waterfalls on the island. 

You will fly over the dense Belouve forest to the Takamaka valley with its many impressive waterfalls before arriving above the Grand Etang, Reunion's only high altitude volcanic lake.

Then, you will fly over the only still active volcano on the island, the Piton de la Fournaise! Here, you will gain an exceptional view of its craters and appreciate its height of 2,632 metres altitude.

Finally, before returning to the heliport, you will pass over Hermitage Lagoon, its crystalline waters and its splendid coral reef.
