Overview

Reunion

The inhabitants of Reunion have turned the page on the Chikungunya epidemic: Bourbon island, an island of vanilla, spices and rougail sausage has recovered all the charming features that we know and love it for. There are so many things to keep you busy while you are there, including an initiation to diving, a helicopter flight over the volcano, a night in an eco-lodge or mountain lodge (Relais des Cimes) and a geological walking tour in Plain des Cafres. Finally, all you want from a beach lies in the south and west of the island.

You must go on a hike, even if only a very short one, because the landscapes of Reunion are marvellously suitable for walking. Leave early though, because the weather changes fast and do not forget to book your stopovers in the high season.
