Underwater Waterfall – Helicopter Ride

About this activity

Mauritius Island “underwater waterfall” phenomenon

Underwater waterfalls Mauritius are an extraordinary and stunning illusion on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean. The Black River Gorges (National Park) near Le Morne is the actual location of bizarre sight.

Strong underwater currents between both the openings of the reefs cause the sand as well as silt deposits on the ocean bottom to be drawn down, creating the stunning mirage. The sight seems like a cascade flushing into a huge undersea pit.

The Beauty and Grace of Le Morne

A waterfall is an amazing creation of Mother Nature. Massive torrents are thrown down from vast heights in a beautiful way that will surely astound anyone who sees it.

So, how can you take something that is already so magnificent and manage to amaze people even more? Of course, you place it underwater, which is precisely what the environment did when it created this specific Mauritius attraction. The discharge of sand & silt deposits gives the incredible beautiful appearance of an “underwater waterfall” when viewed from above.

The magical illustration of the Underwater Waterfalls Mauritius at Le Morne

It’s an incredibly lovely sight, one that conjures up a magical illustration and makes me think of dream spectacles. The beauty of this feat of nature is best appreciated from above the island, rather than from the island’s shores. Even though things aren’t exactly as they seem, the reality behind the illusion is still an interesting topic.

The drop-off, which appears to be precipitous, is level with the majority of the region and not at all steep. There are two causes of the illusion. The water’s color is somewhat varied at the surface and underneath the ground, giving the impression of artificial depth.

The second is the waterfall’s “flowing water,” which is sand and silt that have fallen off the ocean floor in a specific pattern to appear to be pouring downhill. It’s an odd vision because of its compelling truth and deceiving sight. One of the several breathtaking places you may visit in Mauritius

The Underwater Waterfalls Mauritius in Le Morne has significance.

Southwest of the island, off the shore of Le Morne, Mauritius presents a breathtaking optical illusion. All that drives the spectacular image is the way underwater currents move.

• Even if the ocean water seems amazing from the shore, a helicopter flight is necessary to appreciate this particular vista. That is the sole purpose of the tours.
• From the coastline, one might not be able to perceive the effect, but from an aerial perspective from a helicopter or plane, one can be astounded. According to tourists, it appears to be the entrance to the underworld.
• Equally dramatic are satellite pictures, which display what appears to be an underwater vortex off the coastline of a tropical paradise.
• Le Morne has come to represent the struggle for liberation, the hardship, and the sacrifice made by slaves for the oral tales associated with the “maroons.”
• For a small country, Mauritius is bursting at the seams with breathtaking mountain treks, sacred pilgrimage sites, delectable cuisine, and historical locales that reveal the island’s extensive global past.

Earth with Chamarel Colors: A mystic scene

The earth transforms into a stunning rainbow of red, violet, purple, green, blue, and yellow on an exposed hilltop inside a park. The colors appear to change throughout the day as the sun appears and clouds pass overhead; they are at their most vivid at daybreak.

The remnants of the original rainforest of the islands are protected by the Black River. Nearby, a small waterfall slides over a cliff. Here, where the island’s ever-expanding hotel projects cannot reach, the seas pour out toward a designated marine sanctuary.

Smaller islands nearby are uninhabited save for a small coast guard station. One of Port Louis’s hidden gems can be found down the city’s lone pedestrian street, directly across from the Municipality Theatre.
