Description of 45-minute discovery flight to Reunion Island by helicopter

Reunion Islander or vacationer? What if you went to discover the island of Reunion at a height of 1500 meters?
Between green landscapes, rocky lands and endemic plants, this French department located in the Pacific Ocean will surprise you with its singularity and beauty.

This 45-minute helicopter tour will allow you to discover the most essential places on the island.

Departing from Pierrefonds airport, 15 minutes from the town of Saint Pierre in the south of the island, you will begin this journey by flying over the 3 cirques. The Cirques of Salazie, Mafate and Clilos, all part of the world heritage of humanity, are valleys dug out over time by the erosion of water and wind. Each has its own story and characteristics. The Salazie cirque is the greenest. The frequency of its torrential rains has over time created breathtaking islets and magnificent waterfalls. Among these, the Trou de Ferwill certainly not leave you indifferent! This legendary chasm contains a waterfall more than 300 meters deep, one of the largest in the world.

Imagine the speed and sound of the water all the way down below! Take the opportunity to also overlook the Bride's Veil, a mysterious waterfall which takes its name from a legend relating the tragic story of a bride who slipped from the top of the mountain after fleeing with her husband, his father who wanted to kill him.

Then, pass above the magnificent Bélouve primary forest. Located at an altitude of 300 meters, it offers a breathtaking view of the Salazie cirque. A favorite place for hikers, you will marvel at so much beauty, giving you a feeling of peace.

Before ending this excursion, you will approach the famous Piton de la Fournaise. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Its last eruption dates back to 2019. Located at almost 3,000 meters above sea level, thousands of hikers take on the challenge of climbing this natural wonder every year. You will go for a walk around the lagoon, a 22 km stretch of turquoise blue and corals.

Description of Helicopter flight over Reunion - 55 min

If you are looking for a memorable and original activity to do in the heart of Reunion Island, we suggest you fly over it, for a feeling of absolute freedom, but also to admire breathtaking landscapes.

This is a fascinating and memorable experience that takes you to the most unmissable corners of the intense island. We then suggest that you take a helicopter flight to fly over the sumptuous and diverse scenery, departing from the town of Saint-Pierre. With a passionate pilot who will be responsible for commenting on this entire adventure, so that you don't miss absolutely any detail!

As soon as you arrive at Pierrefonds Airport, the place of takeoff, you will meet the pilot, who will welcome you with coffee or tea, as well as cakes. He will then give you the safety briefing, then present the activity and the flight itinerary. He will remind you of the safety measures to take into account once on board the helicopter, then you can make yourself comfortable in it. You will put on your helmet, then takeoff will take place.

First of all, you will go to meet the Trois Cirques, among the best-known spots on the island. The Cirque of Mafate, of Salazie, then of Cilaos, will be visible to you and will present you with a bright green tropical landscape, which will awaken all your senses. You will be able to enter the chasm of the Trou de Fer, with a depth of 300 m. This one is a must-see, where one of the highest waterfalls in the world is located. In the Cirque de Salazie, you will also find the Vile de la Mariée waterfall, a splendid and impressive waterfall. Still in the same area, you will fly over the Belouve forest, a green space preserved for centuries.

Then, you will head towards the east of the island, to Saint-Benoît, where you will discover the Takamaka Valley, covered in vegetation and rich in waterfalls and in emerald-colored bodies of water. You will then explore the magnificentGrand Étang, originating from a volcanic lake, surrounded by reliefs where only the color green dominates.

Afterwards, you will completely change the scenery, to discover the reddish lands of Piton de la Fournaise, the island's impressive active volcano. You will fly over its craters and circle the mountain, before flying above thePlaine desSands, which will give you the impression of having changed planets.

Before returning to the airport, you will fly over another entirely distinct landscape, where the color turquoise dominates; the Indian Ocean. You will then fly above the Reunion coastline, until you reach Saint-Pierre, the landing place.

This magical journey will mark you forever. Don't deprive yourself of it!
