About the activity

This helicopter flight from Saint-Pierre is dedicated to Reunion Island's 3 cirques (Mafate, Cilaos and Salazie) and their waterfalls, which offer impressive scenery from the air. This is the most interesting tour if you don't have the budget for a complete overflight of Reunion Island, as the 3 cirques are must-sees on the island!

The first part of this helicopter flight over Reunion Island's cirques takes place in the Cirque de Cilaos, with its many canyons and deep ravines, at the foot of the incredible Piton des Neiges overlooking the 3 cirques. This is followed by the Cirque de Mafate, an incredible wilderness accessible only by hike or helicopter. Get ready for a bird's-eye view of its vertical ridges and unique flora, as well as a superb panorama of the Piton Maïdo! Finally, the adventure continues in the Cirque de Salazie with the famous Trou de Fer, an incredible 300-metre-deep chasm in which you can see and photograph the magnificent waterfalls that plunge into it, as well as the vertiginous Voile de la Mariée waterfall, 500 metres high, before returning to the airport via the high plateau of Plaine des Cafres and its Bras de la Plaine River.

This incredible flight over the waterfalls and cirques of Reunion Island lasts around 35 minutes, the perfect time to make the most of the island's mountainous landscapes. A pilot with at least 650 hours' flying experience will be at the controls of the aircraft, an Ecureuil AS350B3e helicopter, not only ensuring your safety throughout the experience, but also satisfying your curiosity about the island's exceptional environment by commenting on the flight and answering all your questions. You are sure to have a memorable aerial escapade, supervised by a friendly team!

So if you would like to discover Reunion Island's magnificent landscapes from a different angle, and in the company of local professionals, don't wait any longer and opt for this helicopter flight over the cirques of Reunion Island from Saint-Pierre!

C'est à faire au moins une fois, moi qui était angoissé jusqu'au décollage de l'hélicoptère, je me suis aussitôt détendue car c'était tout en douceur même une impression de sur place qui fait qu'on profite pleinement du sensationnel panorama.
