Step into a hiker’s paradise
Hikers from around the world all know about Reunion Island. With steep terrain, peaks over 3,000 meters high, spectacular active volcanoes, majestic cirques, and deep forests, a trip here will leave you with unforgettable memories. There are many trails on the island, totaling over 900 kilometers, suitable for casual hiking; there are also three long-distance hiking (GR) trails. You could say Reunion Island is truly a hiker’s paradise!
Two must-hike peaks:Piton des Neiges and Piton de la Fournaise.
Piton de la Fournaise:
Piton de la Fournaise is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, covering one-third of the island's southeastern area. The volcano sits within a naturally formed circular enclosure, with the volcanic cone at its center, leading all the way up to the crater at 2,631 meters above sea level. Hikers can follow white markers painted by the government across the vast fields of solidified black lava to avoid getting lost. Along the way, the scenery constantly changes, giving you the surreal feeling of being on the moon. This unique lunar landscape is exactly what makes this place a world-famous attraction.
In the coastal areas, cooled lava flows have formed lava tunnels, which also attract many daring adventurers to explore them. The cooled lava feels smooth and fine, like instantly solidified premium chocolate. Inside the cavesthere are many forks in the path, varying in width — sometimes you can walk upright, other times you may have to crawl. With no natural light, all activities rely on headlamps, and it’s essential to stay close to the guide to avoid getting separated.
The good news is that Piton de la Fournaise, ranked among the world’s top ten active volcanoes, is entering a period of increased activity and is expected to erupt frequently this year, making it perfect for volcano hiking and sightseeing.
Piton des Neiges:
At over 3,000 meters above sea level, it is the highest peak in the Indian Ocean and the center of Reunion Island’s three cirques. Those who climb Piton des Neiges are truly passionate about hiking!
Explore the Azure Sea in Multiple Ways
While the land scenery of Reunion Island is so magical and unique, don’t forget that the coastal views are equally stunning. So if you skip the coastal sights, you might as well say you’ve never truly been to Reunion.
The coastal landscapes are also shaped by volcanic activity, presenting unique geological features:Fault lines and natural arches— if you dive underwater, you’ll discover these remarkable formations. Especially when snorkeling or diving near coral reefs, you’ll witness incredible sights:Clownfish, stingrays, turtles, and other marine life swimming right beside you!

Guests who prefer not to get wet can also explore by taking transparent kayaks and bubble boats. This type of tour is especially suitable for families with children, as they can marvel at the beautiful underwater world together and create unforgettable childhood memories.
Diving tours:
Diving is possible year-round in Réunion, but the best season is from October to April the following year when the water temperature reaches 26°C. The island’s diving spots are mainly concentrated around coral reefs along the western coast. Both beginners and experienced divers can freely swim among the magical coral, which is home to a rich variety of tropical fish: guitarfish, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, clownfish, parrotfish, rays, groupers, eels...
And if you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins.
Exciting marine activities: For thrill-seekers, deep-sea fishing is a must-do. Specialized companies offer high-quality services tailored to your needs.

Soar into the sky and see the world from a new perspective
Although helicopter rides and paragliding are no longer rare activities, Réunion is sure to offer you an unforgettable experience. Over 40% of the island is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with dense and diverse vegetation covering much of its surface. From above, it resembles a charming turtle resting on the Indian Ocean.
Helicopter tours:
Gaze down at volcanoes from high above, peer into unexpected sinkholes, admire waterfalls and lush natural scenery, and land in cirques that are inaccessible by land. Viewing the island by helicopter reveals a more mysterious and beautiful side of Réunion.
Paragliding experience:
Flying entirely by the power of nature under the guidance of a professional instructor offers a completely different experience from a helicopter tour. Paragliding instructors will circle with you in the sky according to the day’s wind currents, patiently explaining the vegetation below and pointing out turtles popping their heads above the water. The thoughtful service also includes using photography equipment during the flight to capture these beautiful and unforgettable aerial moments. This experience is suitable for all ages.
