Seaplane Flights Over the East Coast of Mauritius

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.

🧭 Key Details

• Flight durations: 15, 30, or 60 minutes
• Take-off and landing: Water-based
• Guided by pilot: Yes
• Location: Roches Noires / Azuri area, east coast Mauritius

✈️ What to Expect

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 15-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. The 60-minute flight covers the widest area, including Amber Island, Île aux Cerfs, and additional sections of the east and north-east coastline.

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.

📍 Location

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.

✅ Prerequisites

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.
