See all three of Réunion's UNESCO-listed cirques, the Piton de la Fournaise crater, and the turquoise lagoon in a single 45-minute private helicopter flight — the only way to grasp the island's impossible vertical scale in a single shore day.
What to expect
You lift off from Roland Garros / Saint-Denis helicopter pad and bank immediately over the coastal cliffs, then climb into the highlands. The pilot narrates in English or French as you hover above the smouldering Dolomieu crater, drift over the patchwork of Cilaos and Salazie, and follow glittering waterfalls to the reef-fringed west coast. The silence after landing — that stunned, breathless quiet — is part of the experience. Flights are smooth, safe, and certified to French civil aviation standards.
Good to know
Book directly with Héli Réunion as far ahead as possible — volcanic overflight slots are strictly allocated. Weight limits apply (advised at booking). Transfer from Pointe des Galets to the helipad is ~25 minutes by private taxi; factor this in against your all-aboard time. Early-morning flights have the clearest visibility before coastal haze builds.
