About this experience
Experience a Seaplane Flight in Mauritius
This activity involves a private seaplane flight over the coastal landscapes of Mauritius. Passengers board the aircraft for an aerial perspective of the island, including its reefs, lagoons, and mountains. The flight provides a vantage point for viewing the geography of the Mauritian coastline from the air.
Discover Mauritius from Above
See the island of Mauritius from a unique perspective with a private seaplane tour. This flight takes you over the turquoise lagoons and protected reefs that define the Mauritian coastline. From the air, you gain a clear view of the contrast between the deep blue ocean and the shallow coastal waters. The flight path covers coastal areas, offering views of both the sea and the mountainous terrain that characterizes the island landscape.
Scenic Flight Details
This private experience is designed for those looking to see the geography of the island without the limitations of land-based travel. As you fly, you can observe the layout of the coastal villages, the extent of the reef systems, and the topography of the mountains from an altitude that allows for detailed sightseeing. The seaplane allows for a smooth transit over the water, providing consistent visibility for photography or simple observation. It is a straightforward way to witness the natural beauty of the island in a short amount of time.
Practical Information for Your Flight
When booking this tour, it is important to note that the flight is private, ensuring an exclusive experience for your group. The seaplane is capable of carrying up to 10 passengers. Because the flight is private, it is suited for individuals or groups who want an uninterrupted view of the surroundings. The total time in the air is 15 minutes, which is sufficient to cover a significant portion of the immediate coastline and nearby scenic features. Please review the booking terms regarding cancellation, as this experience is non-refundable. There are no special accessibility features for this activity, so participants should be prepared for the requirements of boarding a seaplane.

25th Anniversary at Mauritius
Reviewed on 27 Aug 2026Mauritius
Our third holiday with Solve Your Trip, following our Europe and Maldives trips, and this one was extra special for our 25th wedding anniversary. Mauritius was stunning, especially the beaches and the sunsets around Le Morne. Everything was seamless from start to finish, just like every trip with them. Highly recommend!

This typically covers 4-star or 5-star beachfront accommodation on Half Board (breakfast and dinner), roundtrip flights from Indian hubs, airport and island transfers, and sightseeing tours.

Most luxury resorts in Mauritius offer generous official honeymoon perks for couples traveling within 9 to 12 months of marriage. These perks typically include room rate discounts of up to 20% to 30% for the bride, complimentary champagne or sparkling wine upon arrival, seasonal fruit platters, a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach, and discounts on couples' spa treatments.

An ideal Mauritius honeymoon lasts 6 to 7 nights (7 to 8 days). This duration gives couples ample time to experience the island's three distinct geographic regions (the North for shopping and nightlife, the South-West for volcanic nature and waterfalls, and the East for catamaran cruises to Ile aux Cerfs) while leaving 3 to 4 full days for unhurried relaxation at the resort.
Top romantic experiences include a private catamaran cruise with dolphin spotting and barbecue lunch along Tamarin Bay, a scenic helicopter tour over the Le Morne underwater waterfall illusion, tandem parasailing in Belle Mare, private candlelit beach dinners with live Sega music, a couples' massage in an open-air garden pavilion, and watching the sunset from Trou aux Biches or Flic en Flac.
Pack lightweight breathable cotton clothing, swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brim hat. Pack smart-casual attire for evenings, as many upscale resort restaurants require collared shirts and trousers for men at dinner. Bring water shoes for protection against coral on certain beaches, and a light cardigan or windbreaker for breezy evenings between May and October.
Couples can explore the vibrant central market and Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis, visit the UNESCO-listed Aapravasi Ghat to learn about the island's indentured labor heritage, tour historic colonial estates like Chateau de Labourdonnais and Saint Aubin, visit the sacred volcanic lake of Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao), and enjoy an authentic Sega dance and music performance around a beach bonfire.
The finest beaches for couples include Le Morne Beach (crystalline waters with the dramatic UNESCO World Heritage mountain backdrop), Trou aux Biches (powder-soft sand and gentle shallow waters ideal for swimming), Belle Mare (a sprawling white-sand beach with stunning sunrises), and Mont Choisy (a tranquil crescent bay lined with shade-providing casuarina trees).
Yes, Mauritius offers world-class adventure sports. Couples can enjoy scuba diving along coral reefs, underwater sea walks, tandem parasailing, quad biking through nature reserves, ziplining over lush canyons at Vallee des Couleurs, and hiking to scenic viewpoints in Black River Gorges National Park or up Le Morne Brabant.
Mauritius features a rich culinary blend of French, Creole, Indian, and Chinese flavors. Popular dishes include Creole seafood curries, rougaille, fresh palm heart salad, and street foods like hot dholl puri and samosas. Most luxury resorts cater extensively to Indian dietary preferences, providing authentic vegetarian and Jain meal options alongside international fine dining.
Yes, comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended. It covers unforeseen flight disruptions, medical emergencies, hospitalizations, lost baggage, and watersport-related accidents. SolveYourTrip can assist in adding comprehensive travel coverage to your customized holiday package.

Lesser-known scenic spots include the wild basalt sea cliffs of Gris Gris and La Roche Qui Pleure in the south, the serene tea plantations and scenic restaurant at Bois Cheri, the historic Ile aux Fouquets lighthouse island, and peaceful morning walks among the giant Victoria amazonica water lilies in the SSR Botanical Garden at Pamplemousses.
Nightlife in Mauritius is predominantly relaxed, centered around beach bars, sunset cocktail lounges, and resort entertainment. For a livelier clubbing and bar atmosphere, Grand Baie in the north is the epicenter, featuring popular venues like the Banana Beach Club, Buddha Bar Beach, and beachfront music lounges. Most luxury resorts also host live jazz, acoustic sessions, and Sega shows.
Yes, renting a car is convenient and budget-friendly for couples wishing to explore Mauritius at their own pace. Driving is on the left side of the road (identical to India and the UK), roads are well signposted in French and English, and an Indian or international driving license is accepted. SolveYourTrip can organize rental cars delivered directly to your resort or airport, or arrange private chauffeured day tours.
Prime photography spots include the viewpoint overlooking the Le Morne peninsula, the dramatic multi-colored sand dunes of Chamarel Seven Coloured Earths, the giant water lily pond at Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, the cascading Chamarel Waterfall, the turquoise waters of Ile aux Cerfs, and golden hour sunsets along Flic en Flac and Trou aux Biches.
Yes, Mauritius is celebrated for luxury wellness retreats. Properties such as Shanti Maurice (known for its extensive Shanti Spa offering Ayurvedic therapies, yoga, and meditation), LUX* Le Morne, and Constance Prince Maurice feature world-class couples' treatment suites, private steam and sauna facilities, and tailor-made holistic wellness rituals.
Yes, couples can choose eco-luxury stays such as Lakaz Chamarel Exclusive Lodge set in the heart of the southern mountains, or Otentic Eco Tent on the banks of Grand River South East.

Direct flights from Mumbai (BOM) and Delhi (DEL) to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) in Mauritius take approximately 6 to 6.5 hours on Air Mauritius. From other Indian metropolitan hubs such as Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad, convenient one-stop connections operate via Mumbai or Dubai, with total travel duration averaging between 9 and 11 hours depending on layovers.
Beyond its white sand beaches, Mauritius features rich historic landmarks. Couples can visit Fort Adelaide (La Citadelle), a nineteenth-century stone fortress offering panoramic 360-degree views over Port Louis harbor and surrounding mountains; Maison Eureka, an authentic 1830 Creole colonial mansion in Moka with lush river trails leading to natural waterfalls; the historic Chateau de Labourdonnais; and Aapravasi Ghat, a UNESCO World Heritage site honoring the island's immigrant roots.
A duration of 7 to 10 days is recommended for an unhurried, romantic Mauritius honeymoon. While 6 nights provides enough time for the essential highlights, spending 8 to 10 days gives couples the luxury of exploring all four coasts (the North for catamaran cruises and dining, the South-West for volcanic nature, and the East for quiet beaches) while leaving 4 full days completely free for resort relaxation and couples' spa rituals.
