Coin de Mire
The distinct wedge-shaped island off the north coast of Mauritius, often seen immediately after takeoff.
Flat & Gabriel Islands
Crystal clear turquoise lagoons surrounding these popular snorkeling islets north of the Mauritian mainland.
Cargados Carajos
If the flight path trends east, look for the distant surf breaking on the Saint Brandon shoals.
Sainte Anne Marine Park
A cluster of six islands including Moyenne and Cerf, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs just before touchdown.
Eden Island
The luxury man-made marina development visible during the final seconds of the descent into SEZ airport.
The right side is the clear winner for the arrival phase. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coral reefs. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the turquoise waters of the Seychelles archipelago perfectly.
Book Hotels in MaheLe Morne Brabant
Dramatic views of the basaltic monolith and the famous 'underwater waterfall' illusion on the southwest tip of Mauritius.
Inter-Tropical Convergence
Spectacular cloud formations and deep sapphire ocean vistas while crossing the equatorial waters.
Silhouette Island
The third-largest granitic island of Seychelles appearing as a jagged silhouette on the horizon during the final approach.
Morne Seychellois
Bird's-eye view of the lush, mist-covered peaks of the Seychelles' highest national park.
Sit on the left if you want to see the rugged, mountainous interior of Mauritius during departure. During the approach to SEZ, this side offers views of the wilder, less developed western side of Mahe, which is particularly beautiful during sunset flights.
