Le Morne Brabant
The iconic UNESCO World Heritage basaltic monolith on the southwestern tip of Mauritius.
Black River Gorges
Aerial perspective of the lush rainforests and deep valleys of Mauritius's largest national park.
Piton de la Fournaise
Reunion's famous active shield volcano, often visible during the descent into Pierrefonds.
Cilaos Ramparts
Dramatic mountain ridges and deep cirques that form the core of Reunion's rugged interior.
Saint-Pierre Coastline
A clear view of the urban landscape and lagoon of Saint-Pierre just before touchdown.
Book an early morning flight (before 10:00 AM) because Reunion's volcanoes are frequently obscured by clouds in the afternoon. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the dramatic transition from the Mauritian lagoons to the Reunnionais mountain peaks.

Blue Bay Marine Park
Stunning turquoise lagoons and coral reefs visible immediately after takeoff from MRU.
Souillac Cliffs
The rugged, wave-battered basalt cliffs of Mauritius's southern tip.
Indian Ocean Expanse
Deep blue oceanic views during the short transit between the Mascarene Islands.
Grand'Anse Beach
A beautiful glimpse of Reunion's wild southern beaches as the plane turns for its final approach.
Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat haze. This side is excellent for capturing the vastness of the Indian Ocean and the southern coastline of Reunion. Morning flights offer the best lighting to avoid the glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the water.
