Mauritius Helicopter Flights with Children

Start with the whole family's details

Send Andeor the number of adults and children, each child's exact age on the travel date, and the offer you are considering. Include any infant in the party details. This gives Andeor the information needed to coordinate eligibility and any particular infant, seating or equipment arrangements with the flight partner.

Keep that confirmation tied to the selected offer and your actual party. A general description of a family outing is not enough to establish arrangements for an individual child.

Choose the flight length around your child's comfort

The published sightseeing choices are an approximately 15-minute private Bel Ombre waterfall circuit, an approximately 15-minute shared Bel Ombre waterfall circuit, and an approximately 35-minute shared waterfall circuit from Mauritius airport. The airport circuit returns to the airport.

The shorter options suit a family seeking less time in the air; the longer circuit suits those who want a longer aerial outing. Consider your child's comfort with unfamiliar experiences, as well as the journey to departure. Flight duration is not the total outing time. These circuits visit the underwater waterfall off Le Morne, an optical illusion whose visibility is not guaranteed.

Compare the family total for private and shared flights

The private Bel Ombre flight is priced per helicopter, while the shared Bel Ombre and airport flights are priced per person. Compare the current total for your exact party, using the chosen listing's passenger limits and applicable pricing rather than multiplying an assumed child fare.

Private suits families who prefer an aircraft reserved for their party, within the offer's limits. Shared suits those comfortable booking places on a shared flight. Neither format guarantees a particular seat or changes the need for family-specific eligibility confirmation.

Plan the ground journey separately

Choose a departure point that fits your wider day, not just the advertised flying time. The airport sightseeing offer excludes hotel and land transfers: it is a round-trip aerial excursion, not transport from the airport to your hotel.

We can arrange separate ground transfers for your family. Provide your pickup location, destination, date, party and baggage details so transport can be coordinated. Do not count this transport as included in the flight price or duration. Build the journey around your booking's final meeting point and arrival instructions.

Prepare for seating, baggage and the flight itself

Explain the basic sequence to your child beforehand: meeting the team, following the briefing, taking off, sightseeing and landing. If sitting beside a child is important to your arrangements, raise it with Andeor before booking. Seat allocation is operational, and front or window seats cannot be promised.

Passenger and baggage weights are checked, so provide accurate information through approved private channels. Flag pushchairs or other equipment during planning so acceptance can be confirmed. Keep the day's packing practical without assuming equipment can travel onboard.

Allow time for coordination and changing conditions

We require bookings at least 36 hours before scheduled departure. For a family needing particular arrangements, start earlier to allow time for coordination. We handle passenger details, operator arrangements, tickets and day-before confirmation; booking or payment alone does not establish that the operator e-ticket is ready.

Weather and operational factors can affect the flight, so leave flexibility in the family itinerary. Review the booked offer's current cancellation terms, distinguishing a cancellation by your party from one by the operator. Follow the final meeting instructions for the trip.

Your questions, answered

What information should I send for a family booking?

Send your preferred offer and date, the number of adults and children, each child's exact age at travel, and any infant or equipment requirements. Provide passenger and baggage weights through Andeor's approved private channels.

Can the airport sightseeing flight take us to our hotel?

No. The approximately 35-minute shared airport circuit returns to the airport and excludes hotel and land transfers. We can arrange a separate ground transfer.

How far ahead should we book?

Andeor's booking policy requires at least 36 hours before scheduled departure. Begin earlier when your family needs specific arrangements, allowing time for confirmation before committing.
