Activity overview
Discover South West Mauritius beyond the beach.
Experience the unique thrill of taking off from the turquoise lagoon of Le Morne and soaring over one of Mauritius's most spectacular natural phenomena - the underwater waterfall illusion.
A seaplane flight in the south of Mauritius is one of the most unforgettable ways to experience the island, especially if you want to see the famous Underwater Waterfall near Le Morne from above. This scenic flight takes you over the turquoise lagoon, coral reefs, white sandbanks and dramatic south-west coastline, offering a rare aerial view of one of Mauritius’ most photographed natural illusions.
From the sky, the movement of sand and ocean currents creates the breathtaking impression of a waterfall flowing beneath the sea, making it one of the best aerial experiences in Mauritius for couples, honeymooners, photographers and adventure travellers. As the seaplane rises above the lagoon, you can also enjoy views of Le Morne Brabant, the surrounding reef, the blue shades of the Indian Ocean and the wild beauty of the south-west coast.
This activity is ideal for anyone looking for a luxury adventure, a romantic Mauritius experience or a once-in-a-lifetime scenic flight over one of the island’s most iconic landmarks.
