What Travelers Love
  • Scenic Views and Experience: Passengers consistently praise the amazing aerial views of the Seychelles islands during the helicopter journey, making the transfer itself a memorable part of their trip.
  • Time-Saving: Helicopter transfers significantly reduce travel time between islands, allowing travelers to maximize their time enjoying La Digue.

  • Efficient Island Hopping: For those looking to visit multiple islands, helicopter travel provides a seamless and quick connection.
Common Complaints
  • High Cost: The primary deterrent for helicopter transfers is the price, which can be very expensive.
  • Limited Information on Heliport Facilities: Direct traveler reviews focusing on the La Digue Heliport's terminal facilities, amenities, cleanliness, security, or customs/immigration experience are not readily available. It is understood to be a small landing strip rather than a full-service airport.
  • Lack of On-Island Public Transport at Heliport: La Digue primarily relies on bicycles and golf carts/buggies for transportation. While accommodations often arrange pick-ups, there isn't extensive public transport directly from the heliport.

Overall, choosing a helicopter transfer to La Digue is viewed as a luxurious and highly efficient option for reaching the island and enjoying unparalleled views of the Seychelles. Travelers should be prepared for the premium cost and understand that the heliport itself is a basic landing facility, with main airport services like customs and extensive terminal amenities handled at larger hubs like Mahé International Airport. Transportation upon arrival on La Digue will typically require pre-arranged pickups or utilizing the island's unique bicycle and golf cart services.
