Overview
Experience Mauritius like never before with a breathtaking helicopter ride over one of the world’s most mesmerizing natural illusions — the underwater waterfall illusion near Le Morne Brabant. This awe-inspiring phenomenon, best viewed from above, creates the optical illusion of a massive waterfall plunging into the depths of the ocean, caused by sand and silt sliding down the coastal shelf.
As you soar above the southwestern coast, your journey unveils Mauritius’ vivid turquoise lagoons, coral reefs, mountain ranges, and rugged cliffs — a painter’s palette of blues and greens framed by volcanic peaks and sugarcane fields.
Highlights
- Underwater Waterfall Illusion: The visual masterpiece lies just off Le Morne, where the currents create a dramatic illusion that can only be fully appreciated from the sky.
