Take off directly from the ocean and see Mauritius’ east coast from above on a guided seaplane flight. With three flight durations available, this experience lets you choose between a short coastal overview or a longer route covering lagoons and offshore islands.
Your experience begins with a pre-flight safety briefing covering boarding procedures, headset use, and what to expect during water take-off and landing. Once seated, the aircraft taxis across the lagoon before lifting smoothly from the water, giving immediate views of the coastline below. Headsets allow clear communication and pilot commentary throughout the flight.
The 20-minute flight focuses on the Ambre coastline, offering a compact overview of beaches, shallow lagoons, and reef patterns. The 30-minute option extends further along the coast, flying over one of the island’s largest lagoons and several small islands just offshore.
All flights are routed to maximise visibility on the day, with altitude adjusted for clear views of lagoons, reefs, and islands. Each flight ends with a controlled descent and water landing back at the departure point.
Flights depart from the east coast of Mauritius, with water take-off points near Roches Noires and the Azuri beachfront. This area is known for wide lagoons, coral reefs, and island chains that are particularly well viewed from the air.
Arrival instructions are provided in advance, and the location is accessible by road. The east coast offers consistent visibility and varied coastal features within short flying distances.
No flying experience is required. Passengers must be able to board the aircraft independently and follow safety instructions given by the pilot.
Weight limits and seating restrictions may apply and are confirmed before the flight. All flights are subject to suitable weather and visibility conditions.
These flights offer flexible duration options, allowing you to choose how much of the coastline and lagoon system you want to see. Short flights suit first-time flyers, while longer routes provide broader coverage of islands and reef systems.
Experienced pilots operate modern seaplanes and adapt routes to conditions on the day to ensure clear views and smooth flying. Optional video add-ons are available for those wanting a recorded aerial perspective.
