Unexpected adventures await explorers | Île de la Réunion Tourisme

The must-sees

The Piton des Neiges (highest peak of the Indian Ocean at 3,069 metres) is an absolute must-see for avid hikers, who will be able to enjoy a breath-taking sight at sunrise, after several hours of hiking and an overnight stay at a gite.

Another original site is the incredible Cirque of Mafate, accessible only on foot. To really get the most out of your experience here, spend a night in a gîte or a camping experience under the stars, and at the same time, take advantage of the warm hospitality from the island’s locals.

The most active volcano in the world, the Piton de la Fournaise, recently erupted. It wasn’t dangerous for the local population, but rather, was an opportunity for visitors to the island to witness this historical moment. In any season, flying over this volcano is a spectacular experience. You can also fly over the other regions of the island, or along the turquoise coastline. Book your exploration of the tunnels created by cooled lava flow.

Take the plunge into the water !

Canyoning and rafting are two other unmissable activities on Reunion Island. There are many companies who take tourists into the island’s rivers and along the ancient lava flow, for an adventure and a rush of adrenaline guaranteed. Discover this revitalising activity with RUN’aventures.

Water-based activities

If you want to go for a dip in the sea, the best beaches and best places to swim are on the west and south coasts, and in the calm waters of the lagoons. Reunion Island is a veritable aquatic playground with so many activities to choose from – rental of transparent kayaks, glass-bottomed boat trips, dolphin and whale watching, deep-sea diving, boat trips, paddle-board hire or just go for a swim in the warm waters. Between two excursions, there are several different ways for you to relax. Book a day trip to search for whales and dolphins.
