Home » Heli Packages » Heli-Trek: Mafate
about 20 minutes overflight + about 3h00 walking
(The pilot reserves the right to adapt the places visited and the flight time according to weather conditions)
From Saint-Gilles, you are driven by a bus-shuttle to the starting point of the excursion located at the Rivière des Galets. Accompanied by a guide, the adventure begins with the crossing of the river in a 4X4!
This is a great way to start your adventure and brings you to the beginning of the Deux-Bras trail, for the most accessible hike to the heart of Mafate.
You then begin the ascent, for about 3 hours of walking (500 m of ascent).
First stop at Cap Noir, a natural promontory that offers you a spectacular panorama of the circus.
Continue for an hour along the path that leads you to the Bassin d’Oussy, crossing the watercourse several times. A pleasant stopover that allows those less cold to cool off in the transparent water.
Finally, your adventure ends in the village of Cayenne, a charming little ilet of 25 inhabitants where you enjoy a well-deserved traditional carry.
You take to the road again by air to admire one last time the geography of the island in the middle of the afternoon.
