Full description

The must (departing from Triolet, North): A short flight and memories forever etched in your mind. The route departing from the Triolet base includes a flyover of the northern landscapes and islets. Enjoy the bustling life of Grand-Baie seen from above and the boats lined up near the golden sand beach. Then fly over Coin de Mire, which dominates the north coast, and Ile Plate, home to various species of reptiles. The flight ends with a magnificent stretch over Ile d'Ambre, where the famous Saint-Geran was shipwrecked and which was the setting of Paul et Virginie by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre.

THE MAGIC (departing from Triolet, North): Discover beautiful panoramas of Mauritius by flying over the island for 40 minutes with our exclusive Le Magique experience. The adventure begins with a majestic take-off from our base in Triolet, where our dedicated team gives you the warmest of welcomes. Enjoy a moment of relaxation in our elegant lounge, followed by a complete flight briefing for an unforgettable experience. Then embark on a fascinating aerial excursion that will reveal the hidden treasures of Mauritius. Admire the breathtaking view of Port-Louis, fly over the iconic silos of the Moulin de la Concorde, watch the ships filling the capital, marvel at the vast green spaces and crystal-clear lagoon, discover Ile aux Benitiers and contemplate the majestic Albion lighthouse that proudly dominates its surroundings. An unforgettable experience awaits you, ready to transform your vision of Mauritius forever. If you are wondering which is that majestic mountain where the tropicbirds live, it is the Morne Brabant! Do not miss the Underwater Waterfall and admire the magnificent colours of Chamarel. Relax on the white sand beaches of Ile aux Cerfs and enjoy the tropical sun while sipping a refreshing cocktail. Explore the Riviere-Noire gorges to discover the beauty of raw nature, then admire the Tamarin waterfalls hidden in an endemic forest. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Blue Bay Marine Park for an unforgettable diving experience among the corals and colourful fish. Approach Le Pieter Both, a mountain linked to a famous legend, before ending your journey with a breathtaking flyover with Corail Helicopteres! Do not forget to taste the delights of local Mauritian cuisine, such as chicken curry and spicy samosas, for an authentic culinary experience.

THE EXCELLENCE (departing from Triolet, North): You will circle around Pieter Both and Le Pouce to get your adventure off to a great start. Then admire the beautiful panorama of the Tamarin Waterfall in the middle of a verdant forest and rocks sculpted by Mother Nature. You will also feel as if you are flying with the tropicbirds as you approach the Riviere-Noire Gorges. After a detour to Ile aux Benitiers, capture the Underwater Waterfall near Morne Brabant, listed as a UNESCO heritage site. You may wonder whether the rainbow has fallen when you fly over Chamarel. The magic is always present here! Have you ever seen an islet in the middle of a lake? Live this unique experience at Ganga Talao. Do not forget to take a look at the crater of the sleeping Kanaka volcano in Mauritius. As you approach the island, fly over Ile aux Cerfs in the east, then head back north passing over Ile d'Ambre and Ile Plate, famous for its artistically patterned chameleons! Near Cap Malheureux lies Le Coin de Mire, visible from our base if the clouds allow! This is Mauritius in all its splendour!

Kavi was so helpful and flexible. We hired a car from him at a great price. We were staying at The Residence and we just walked along the beach, into his office. Didn’t do any of the tours but they were very reasonable too. If you want a good deal on tours or a hire car with a very professional friendly service then Kavi is the man! Much cheaper than the hotels.

Did our research on various trips and Belle Mare Tours was excellent value.We visited the office and booked our 5 island trip. Toni arranged our transfers and everything went perfectly. What a fantastic day the speed boat was great and was not packed. Highly recommend this company 👍

Private speedboat 5 islands tour. What a good day. Great experience with driver Kenny. First time on a speedboat would highly recommend. It was my husbands birthday and they even gave him a birthday cake at the BBQ lunch. Could not have asked for a more organised, fun day trip.

Our trip to Mauritius was perfect thanks to this great team! Due to good prices and good reviews, we booked with them and it was a success. Thanks to Roni for the management and details of each excursion and of course to Abi and Kamal for being the best hosts. Thank you very much guys! 😊☺️

We were lucky to meet Roni because we could not find a rental car anywhere else. And I mean ... lucky! Roni helped us with many things. He organized a tour to the local Flacq market, he found us a rental car, secured a boat excursion around the main islands (with a great guide Roy), made a special rum delivery in the evening the day before our departure. Well, to be brief, if you need to organize something on this island, just call Roni :) Thank you for everything Roni, we'll be back and reach out to you for sure.

Went on a northern island trip with Belle Mare Tours. It was fun. The crew was an entertaining, fun loving group. All our needs were tended to. Will recommend this tour if you are looking for a catamaran tour to the northern islands. Also, bring your party shoes

After a disappointing experience with the villa we had rented in Trou D'eau Douce and a not so honest guide, my group of friends and my partner were blessed by discovering Bella Mare Tours. They were incredible, offered affordable options, adapted to last minute changes for a group of 7 and were available to respond within minutes. This was my first time receiving such excellent services and I have traveled to over 60 countries. Noorani was a gem and I am grateful that he made our trip unforgettable.
