This is a "must do" activity recommended after a few days orientation of the island so you can look down and comment.

| Thanks to St Expedit |
After asking St Expedit, usually dressed like a roman soldier, for good weather we were off.
The three cirques are like a huge three leaved clover with villages hanging in there.

| Trou de Fer |
It is exciting flying through the Bras de Caverne with it's 800 metre precipices leading to le Trou de Fer (iron hole) waterfall.
 |
| Cirque de Cilaos |
Cilaos looks so deep and small from above with it's 400 bend road.

| la Fournaise August 2015 eruption |
The updraft heat from the volcano made the helicopter wobble slightly so Norma put a reassuring hand on Susan's and the pilot put his hand on top! What can be said about flying over one of the most active volcanoes in the world except 'do it again' and Pierre do three times.
