Description

Take a tour of Reunion Island and admire its most beautiful sites from the sky!

This 45-minute helicopter flight will provide a stunning view of the island's landscapes.

You will fly over the three cirques of Mafate, Cilaos and Salazie, which alone represent a significant part of the island's territory.
In the background, you will admire the Piton des Neiges, the highest point on Reunion Island.

You will also pass over thewell-preserved Belouve primary forest, observing this green paradise from the air.

You will obviously fly over the famous Piton de la Fournaise, the island's active volcano, which culminates at more than 2600 metres in altitude.

Your pilot will then take you over theErmitage lagoon, where you can admire the beach and turquoise waters, created by a coral reef.

You will finish back in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains.
