Private or shared helicopter flight in Mauritius

Compare the three current flight options

From Bel Ombre, Andeor offers an approximately 15-minute private underwater-waterfall circuit, priced per helicopter, and an approximately 15-minute shared circuit, priced per person. These are the closest comparison if you are choosing between exclusive use and individual places on a flight.

The third option is an approximately 35-minute shared underwater-waterfall circuit departing from Mauritius airport and returning to the airport. It is priced per person. Choosing it changes your departure point and flight duration, not just how you pay. All three are sightseeing offers, not transfers to a hotel.

Match the booking format to your party

For a couple, compare two shared places with the whole-helicopter price. Shared suits travellers who prioritise the flight over exclusive use; private suits those who specifically want the aircraft for their party. Neither choice guarantees a particular seat.

For families, the decision also depends on eligibility and infant arrangements, which Andeor coordinates case by case with the operator. For a group, divide the private total by the confirmed passenger count to assess the cost per traveller, then compare that figure with the current shared price per person. Check current party limits first: a whole-helicopter booking does not mean any group size can travel together.

Understand what exclusivity gives you

A private booking reserves the helicopter for your party on the published Bel Ombre circuit. It does not establish a custom route, seat selection or higher operational priority. Treat a different itinerary as a separate enquiry, not an included private-flight benefit.

Seats are allocated for operational reasons, with passenger and baggage weights checked. Front and window seats cannot be promised in either format. The underwater waterfall off Le Morne is an optical illusion; booking privately does not guarantee its visibility or remove weather and operational constraints.

Include the journey to departure in your comparison

The airport shared circuit returns to its starting airport and excludes hotel and land transfers. Do not count it as your airport-to-hotel transport when comparing the total cost of the day.

We can arrange separate hotel and activity ground transfers. Their cost and timing need to be coordinated for your journey rather than assumed to be included in the flight price or duration.

Confirm passenger details, timing and booking terms

For these sightseeing offers, Andeor currently requires bookings at least 36 hours before the scheduled departure. This is Andeor’s booking policy, not a universal operator rule. Use the current listings for fares, party limits and available departures.

Provide accurate passenger and baggage weights through approved private channels. Mention any infant, medical, accessibility or equipment needs so Andeor can coordinate case-specific confirmation. We handle operator arrangements, passenger details, tickets and day-before confirmation. Booking or payment alone does not mean the operator’s e-ticket is ready; follow the final meeting instructions for your trip.

Compare the current cancellation terms attached to your chosen offer before committing. Guest cancellation and operator cancellation are different situations, and neither booking format should be treated as having an automatic free-cancellation window.
