The flight route from our Triolet base comprises an overview of the northern landscapes. Admire the swarm of daily activities in Grand Bay and the array of fishing boats from high up the sky.
You will soon approach the Coin de Mire (Gunner’s Coin) on the North Coast and Flat Island (l’île Plate), home to several species of reptiles. Corail Hélicoptères is the only aviation company in Mauritius licensed to make you discover the northern islets.
Towards the end of the flight, you will fly over Ile d’Ambre, witness to the sinking of the Saint-Géran ship. This incident was the main plot of Paul and Virginie by the french writer Bernardin de Saint-Pierre and even today, some mauritians still believe the story to be a fact!
Let the magic of Mauritius take over…
For 40 minutes of flight, Corail Hélicoptères brings to you the best of Mauritius. A warm welcome awaits you at our Triolet base and you can enjoy the comfort of our lounge while waiting to board our helicopter. After a briefing session about your flight, the wonderful journey starts!
Seen from the sky, the busy city of Port-Louis is a wonderful show. The sixteen silos of the Moulin de La Concorde and the ships at the dock will mark the beginning of your helicopter tour. Do not forget to keep an eye on the Albion Lighthouse! From flying over green spaces and blue lagoons, you will soon reach Benitiers Island (Ile Bénitiers).
Overlooking the south-western lagoon is the majestic Le Morne Brabant, officially a UNESCO heritage. The Undersea Waterfall with its shades of blue and green seems to plunge to infinity while the kaleidoscope of coloured-earth of Chamarel will give you an insight of magic ! The Black River Gorges allows you to admire the endemic flora and fauna and the waterfalls of Tamarin are just thin curtains revealing rocky plates sculpted by Nature.
The Pieter Both mountain is one of the key attractions of Mauritius. The legend goes by a man who broke a pact with angels and was thus transformed in a mountain! At last, if you have not been able to climb the Le Pouce mountain, an overflight by Corail Hélicoptères will be an absolute delight !
