Experience Mahé from a bird’s eye view on a 30 minute helicopter flight combining the highlights of the north and south of the island. Flights depart from the Zil Air Base or other licensed helipads on Mahé (at an additional charge) and offer an especially impressive way to discover the full diversity of the island from above. The 30 minute tour combines the highlights of both the north and south, providing a comprehensive island experience. After take off, you will first fly over the international airport before reaching the St Anne Marine Park with its bright turquoise lagoons and small islands. The route continues over Eden Island and the capital Victoria, before Beau Vallon, one of Mahé’s most famous beaches, comes into view. A striking contrast follows as the flight enters the Morne Seychellois National Park, where you can admire the lush mountainous landscape from above. The second part of the tour continues along the diverse southern coastline. You will pass the picturesque beaches of Anse Soleil and Petite Anse as well as the wide bays of Anse Takamaka and Anse Intendance, known for their wild and untouched beauty. A particular highlight is the flyover of the southernmost point of Mahé, before returning with further views of Anse Royale and the bay of Anse Aux Pins.
