Excursion Mauritius by helicopter tour at Port Louis
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
During your 40 minute flight, enjoy Mauritius with this scenic helicopter tour. The take-off is from Triolet in the north of the island. Seen from the sky, the city of Port-Louis is a beautiful sight with its daily routine. The sixteen silos of the Moulin de la Concorde and the ships landing in the capital already mark the beginning of a beautiful adventure. Alternating between the green spaces and the lagoon, your flight will continue to Ile aux Bénitiers.
Albion lighthouse
Don't miss the Albion lighthouse! The lighthouse began construction in 1909 and was finally inaugurated in 1910. The structure rises up to 30m high.
If you're wondering about this majestic mountain that nests the tropicbirds, it's Le Morne Brabant! The Underwater Waterfall will soon attract your attention and after all those shades of blue-green, admire the kaleidoscope of colors in the lands of Chamarel.
Tamarind Waterfalls
Further on, the Black River Gorges reveal the heart of nature and the Tamarind Waterfalls are fine curtains hiding an endemic forest. They are a series of seven cataracts located on the Riviere Tamarin. Then we will approach Le Pieter Both which goes by the famous legend of a man who broke a pact with angels and was later transformed into a mountain!
Moka Mountain Ranges
End your flight with a superb overflight over the Moka Mountain Ranges! The Moka Range is a mountain range and it contains two of Mauritius's three tallest peaks Pieter Both and Le Pouce. It was formed from a basalt lava dome ten million years ago. The Moka Range forms a semicircle around the capital, Port Louis.
