LagoonFlight is no longer operating. Helicopter alternatives to see the underwater waterfall
Andeor offers helicopter flights through its partner from Bel Ombre and SSR International Airport. These are separate alternatives to LagoonFlight, each with its own departure, price and booking conditions.
The flights
In this guide
LagoonFlight is no longer operating
LagoonFlight has not been operating since August 2026. Its website still advertises flights, but that information is out of date. If you have an existing reservation, contact the business that issued it.
Keep any cancellation or payment correspondence. Booking a helicopter through Andeor is a new booking; it does not automatically transfer a LagoonFlight reservation, credit or refund. Clarify the original arrangements before paying for a replacement.
A shared helicopter from Bel Ombre
For a southern departure, compare the approximately 15-minute shared circuit from Bel Ombre. The published route follows the south-west coast past Baie du Cap, La Prairie and Îlot Fourneau towards the underwater waterfall illusion off Le Morne.
You book a seat in a helicopter that can carry up to six passengers under the offer’s conditions. The route passes La Prairie, but the departure is Bel Ombre. Give your driver the meeting point on your confirmation rather than going to a former seaplane meeting point.
A private helicopter for your group
The private Bel Ombre option is also an approximately 15-minute waterfall circuit, priced per group for up to six passengers under the listing’s operating limits. It is worth comparing when your party wants the aircraft exclusively.
Compare the full group total against the cost of the required shared seats. Private use does not promise a particular seat, a better view or last-minute availability. Passenger details and the flight conditions still apply.
A longer helicopter circuit from the airport
The approximately 35-minute shared sightseeing flight starts and ends at SSR International Airport. Its published highlights include Grand Bassin, Black River Gorges, the underwater waterfall, Chamarel and the south coast.
Consider the journey from your accommodation as well as the aerial route. This circuit is not a hotel transfer or an extension of an international airline ticket. Follow the separate reporting instructions and leave room for changes to the flight day.
Helicopter and seaplane are different experiences
A helicopter uses a heliport or airport departure. A seaplane itinerary includes a water departure and its own aircraft arrangements. Choose according to the route, party size and overall journey rather than treating the names as interchangeable.
The Andeor catalogue also contains a separate Grand Gaube seaplane experience. Its 100-minute option reaches the underwater waterfall, while shorter northern routes do not. Each seaplane carries one passenger with the pilot. This is a different offer and departure from LagoonFlight; it is not evidence about LagoonFlight’s operating status.
Arrange dates, transfers and expectations together
Choose a date that can be confirmed for everyone travelling. The helicopter listings exclude hotel transfers and meals, as well as any hotel or landing fee charged separately by the departure site. Andeor can help arrange separate ground transport through Seke once your flight arrangements are clear.
Flights and the visibility of the illusion depend on conditions. Check the selected offer’s cancellation terms rather than carrying over those of a previous booking. If you are leaving Mauritius soon, send your possible dates and onward travel details so Andeor can assess the options that fit.

Is LagoonFlight still operating?
LagoonFlight has not been operating since August 2026. Its website still advertises flights, but that information is out of date. If you have an existing reservation, contact the business that issued it.
Can I still compare flights over the underwater waterfall?
Yes. Andeor’s catalogue includes helicopter routes from Bel Ombre and the airport. A catalogue listing does not establish availability for your date; check the selected departure.
Will my existing booking transfer to a helicopter?
Not automatically. A helicopter booking through Andeor is separate from a LagoonFlight reservation. The original seller must address any cancellation, credit or refund attached to the original booking.
Which flight is the quickest outing?
The Bel Ombre circuits have a shorter published flight duration than the airport circuit. The quickest whole outing depends on your accommodation, road journey, reporting time and confirmed departure.
