Hear it straight from our happy customers
“Our seaplane experience was definitely a highlight of our honeymoon in Mauritius! Everyone at Island Wings was friendly and they arranged for 2 planes so that we could both be flying at the same time, which was a really nice touch.”
“Truly something beautiful.
We did some sightseeing in Mauritius and these 30 minutes of flying over the islands gave much more joy than driving and sightseeing”
“If I could give ten stars I would. Great people and a great experience. Flying alongside my wife photographing air to air was just magical. Anyone in doubt...do it!!! Thank guys.”
