Island Wings - The Runway Tour

You want to see Mauritius from a different and unique perspective? The Sky is the answer!

Runway Tour Island Wings will take you for a flight in a Micro Light Plane to fulfill your wish. Choose the time you would like

to fly and we will ‘fly’ you over the lagoons and the sugarcane fields of our beautiful island. Our pilot will also take the

opportunity to explain some principles of flights and why not tell you some stories about the area you are flying over. Don’t forget to take some pictures with your phone as you will definitely want to have a souvenir of this flight!

Flight Session: 20 min, 30 min, 45 min & 60 min flights available.

Your Journey:

The Briefing

Upon your arrival, you will be taken care of by our ground team who will help you fill in the waiver form and will propose the different packages available. You will have a quick briefing with the pilot who will explain the different stages of the flight. If you have a special request or a specific area you would like to fly over, it is the time to ask your pilot. Board our aircraft and start enjoying your ride.

Board the Micro Light Plane

We take-off from our private grass runway in our micro light plane. We have two aircrafts, a Savannah S and an Impala which can take two persons at a time; the pilot and a passenger. Wear your headsets, we do a radio test and off we go.

Enjoy the panorama as you fly over the Lagoons and sugarcane Fields of Mauritius

Fly away from the airfield towards the east, the ocean is there, only 3 kilometers away… We fly at the perfect altitude and speed so you can enjoy unrivalled and uninterrupted views of beautiful Mauritius scenery, from the green of the sugarcane fields to the Blue Lagoons. What an amazing way of exploring the island! Look carefully, we even might see whales or turtles!

Landing

The tour is finished… time to fly back to the airfield at Mon Loisir. While approaching the landing area, there is a little game we like to play: Find the runway?! We will descend slowly and touch down safely.
