About the activity

This helicopter flight in Reunion Island starts from Saint-Pierre Pierrefonds airport up the Bras de la Plaine River, with a lunch break in a gîte hidden away in the middle of nature. You will fly over the Bras de la Plaine River to reach the small village of Grand Bassin in 7 to 8 minutes and discover its magnificent waterfall. Once there, you will not only enjoy a Creole meal, but you will also be able to swim in the river around the gîte for a real break, in an exceptional green setting. The best part? You will only be in the company of your nearest and dearest, who will be accompanying you on this adventure (up to a maximum of 6 participants in total), ideal if you want to celebrate a special event or simply spend some unforgettable time together!

On this helicopter tour to Grand Bassin, you will land at the gîte by midday. Hidden away in the mountains, you will enjoy a delicious Creole lunch cooked over a wood fire and a swim in the river (you can change in the on-site toilets). Finally, after around 3.5 hours of relaxing in the open air, you will return to Saint-Pierre airport by helicopter down the Bras de la Plaine River, with a superb view of the Saint-Pierre lagoon at the end of the flight. Your pilot will be delighted to comment on this short but impressive flight over the superb scenery of Bras de la Plaine River and the surrounding area.

Combining local gastronomy with panoramic views over part of the south of the island, this helicopter flight from Saint-Pierre to lunch at Grand Bassin is not to be missed if you want to enjoy an original activity during your stay, and what's more, only in the company of friends and family! With the tasting of a local lunch, the experience of a helicopter flight over the Bras de la Plaine River and the warm welcome from the professional team at Mafate Helicopteres, you are sure to come away from this adventure with stars in your eyes.

Superbe sortie, merci à Benjamin notre pilote. Un peu déçue nous pensions pouvoir se baigner dans un bassin comme indiqué mais ce n'était pas possible il y avait juste une rivière dont l'accès est difficile. Repas délicieux.
