ISLAND WINGS – SURVOL EN AVION-ULM

Aero club €€€

A light and handy means of transport, with an open or closed cockpit (as you wish), the Ulm-plane is ideal for a flight close to the natural elements. It doesn't give you vertigo, you are comfortably seated (as in a small plane, not to be confused with a paraglider), it hardly jerks at take-off and landing, and it is much closer to the ground than a plane: 300 meters above sea level on average, which is more than enough for the lagoon to become a painter's palette, for the coastline to be offered in a panoramic version, for the soft green of the sugarcane fields to stand out, for the bluish tones of the coral reefs, and for the rainbow of the small boats moored in the coves...

Whatever the coast we fly over - North or East - it is always a delight for the eyes to see this world from above: a way to better locate the villages and hotels, to better understand the relief or the absence of relief, to perceive all these creeks and "inaccessible" beaches hidden by the rows of Mauritian houses... In the helmet: the explanations of the pilot, very professional, very nice. Above: the sky. Underneath: the life that is going on in the Creole way. And in the middle of it all: you, installed in this kind of big and pretty dragonfly that flies from one color to another, and reveals the hidden sides of Mauritius (the ocean so close behind the coral barrier...). For the romantics, flight in binomial possible in 2 microlights side by side, wow!

And for the daredevils, free fall in parachute from the same base.
