Seaplane Flight at Le Morne

South WestAirUnique

Take off from the lagoon and fly over the famous underwater waterfall

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. This scenic seaplane flight offers an unparalleled perspective of the southwest coast, combining the excitement of a seaplane takeoff and landing with breathtaking aerial views. The underwater waterfall is actually an optical illusion created by sand and silt being pushed off the underwater shelf by ocean currents, creating the appearance of a waterfall beneath the waves.
