Face the wildest cirque of Reunion Island, the Cirque de Mafate, during a 15-minute helicopter flight from Saint-Gilles!

Inaccessible by road, the Cirque de Mafate is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is incredible to observe from the air. A former refuge for runaway slaves, its isolation makes it a cirque of unique charm on Reunion Island.

You will have the pleasure of flying over the Cirque de Mafate from Saint-Gilles-les-Bains in a comfortable helicopter, with a passionate pilot about his island and its history. He will be delighted to answer your questions and share explanations and anecdotes about the Cirque de Mafate, its islets and the surrounding area throughout the flight: Piton Maïdo, Piton des Neiges, etc.

At the end of this helicopter flight over the Cirque de Mafate, you will be facing the beautiful lagoon of Saint-Gilles, offering you a dream panorama. It is the perfect way to round off your flight over the Cirque de Mafate, one of Reunion Island's must-do activities!
