The circuit

The tour lifts off at Bel Ombre on the south coast and returns after roughly fifteen minutes. On the way it passes Baie du Cap, La Prairie and Ilot Fourneau before reaching Le Morne and the underwater waterfall.

Helicopter or seaplane

The helicopter is the quickest way to the underwater waterfall and flies from the south coast. The seaplane leaves the lagoon at Grand Gaube in the north east, and its longest journey reaches the same view after touring the east coast.
