Description

Discover the Cirques from the air on an unforgettable helicopter flight!

Adjacent to the Piton des Neiges, the highest peak on Reunion Island, the natural cirques offer diverse and breathtaking scenery. Taking off from Saint-Pierre heliport, you'll fly over two of the cirques: 

The Mafate cirque is the most unspoilt, with no roads; it is only accessible on foot via trails or by helicopter.
The Cilaos cirque, the most mineral and sunny, boasts varied landscapes.   

Before returning to the heliport, you'll zoom over the lagoon to admire its colourful beauty.
