Reunion Island and Mauritius: a little history

Reunion Island and Mauritius share a colonial past closely linked to European expansion in the Indian Ocean, notably by the French and British.

French colonization

  • Reunion, originally called Île Bourbon, was colonized by France in the 17th century. It has remained French ever since, becoming an overseas department in 1946. Today, it is fully part of the French territory.

  • Mauritius, called Île de France under French rule, was taken by France in 1715. It remained under French control until 1810, when it fell to the British after the Battle of Grand Port (Napoleon’s only naval victory in the Indian Ocean).

Transition to the British Empire

  • In 1810, Mauritius officially became British, but French law, the French language and Creole culture were retained. This explains why even today, despite English as the official language, French is widely spoken in Mauritius.
  • Mauritius became independent in 1968, then a republic in 1992.

Today

  • Réunion is still French, and part of the European Union.
  • Mauritius is a sovereign state, a member of the Commonwealth, with strong cultural and economic ties to France.

This common past explains why the two islands share a common language, Creole culture and mixed gastronomy… and why a helicopter transfer between the two remains a trip as practical as it is symbolic.

  • How long is the flight from Reunion to Mauritius?

    The helicopter flight from Reunion Island to Mauritius takes around 1 hour. This time may vary slightly depending on weather conditions and the type of helicopter used.

  • What are the advantages of a helicopter transfer over a boat or commercial airplane?

    Opting for a helicopter transfer allows you to :

    • Save time: no waiting at the airport or port, fast boarding.
    • Enjoy an exclusive flight: an entirely private and personalized service.
    • Admire exceptional scenery: panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, coral reefs and lagoons of Mauritius.
    • Avoid the constraints of commercial flights: no queuing, no connections, total flexibility.
    • Arrive directly at your hotel or villa: depending on the options available.

  • Are there any baggage restrictions?

    Yes, baggage is limited in weight and volume according to helicopter model.

    • Cabin baggage allowed (preferably soft).
    • Hold baggage possible on certain models at extra cost.
    • We recommend that you inform us of your luggage volume in advance, so that we can select the most suitable aircraft for you.
