Experience Mahé from a bird’s eye view on a 15 minute helicopter flight over the northern part of the island. Flights depart from the Zil Air Base or other licensed helipads on Mahé (at an additional charge) and offer an impressive way to discover the island from above. The flight over northern Mahé reveals spectacular views of some of the island’s most iconic highlights. After take off, the route first takes you over the international airport before the turquoise waters of the St Anne Marine Park come into view, with its small islands and coral reefs. The journey then continues over Eden Island with its exclusive villas and marinas, as well as over the capital Victoria, which takes on a very special charm from the air. Another highlight is Beau Vallon, one of the island’s most popular beaches, with its wide bay stretching impressively beneath you. Finally, you will fly over the Morne Seychellois National Park, where dense tropical vegetation and Mahé’s mountainous landscape create a fascinating contrast to the coastline.
