This island really throws a punch! From active volcanoes, incredible landscapes and majestic viewpoints, attractive coastal villages, great food and old-time French culture!
The island for the Great Outdoors
Although Réunion is not a hardcore diver's destination, it offers some cracking diving opportunities along the west coast. Hiking is the number-one activity. Some of the most inspirational hiking trails in the southern hemisphere are to be found here, from simple nature trails in the forest to more challenging, multi-day itineraries and iconic summits, including the Piton des Neiges (3071m). You've come to the right place. With its extraordinarily varied terrain, Réunion is a dream destination for lovers of the outdoors. Paragliding, canyoning, mountain biking, rafting and horse riding are readily available. Need some more exertion?Want to get the heart pumping and the lungs gasping?
Natural Wonders
What to expect?Jutting out of the ocean like a basaltic shield cloaked in green, this scenically magical island enjoys a truly astonishing diversity of landscapes. The formidable Piton de la Fournaise, one of the world's most accessible active volcanoes, adds to the thrill – Réunion is not dubbed 'the Hawaii of the southern hemisphere' for nothing. Awesome mountainscapes, emerald forests, tumbling waterfalls, soul-stirring panoramas, energetic coastal cities and a sprinkling of white- or black-sand beaches. And as if living on an active volcano weren't enough, Réunion has three Cirques (calderas) with folk living in them.
Food Culture
Food lovers will revel in trendy beach restaurants serving the freshest of fish, and in snug restaurants featuring mouth-watering Creole specialties. You'll also find plenty of bakeries and pastry shops selling baguettes, croissants and melt-in-your-mouth cakes.Gourmands will be in seventh heaven in Réunion. One thing is sure: Réunion is not a place to diet. Markets are full of colourful exotic fruits and vegetables, from sweet bananas and huge avocados to succulent mangoes and lychees. Island cuisine is made up of a well-matched mix of Creole, Indian, Chinese and French cultures. The tastiest Creole food is often served at B&Bs, which are famous for their home-cooked meals.
Reunion and its Culture
Cultural diversity forms an integral component of the island's social fabric. A smattering of top-notch museums round out the offerings. There's a wealth of architectural treasures, historic sites, delightful religious and colonial buildings and vibrant festivals that are a great occasion to immerse oneself in local culture. Reunion is not all about photogenic landscapes and adrenaline-pumping activities. This French overseas territory offers a fascinating jumble of Creole, African, Indian, Chinese and French influences that was created by centuries of immigration, and there's a casual multi-ethnic atmosphere.

About Reunion Island: Located in the Southern Hemisphere, the island enjoys a tropical climate, tempered by the proximity of the Indian Ocean. The warmth and sunshine are present the whole year. Each region possesses its own microclimate. The seasons are "inverted" in comparison with the Northern Hemisphere. The coast of the island always holds a hot or mild temperature. The austral summer, from November to April, has an average temperature of 30°C! This is the hot and humid season. At altitude, the temperature can drop by ten degrees. This is the ideal period to indulge in diving or wild water activities such as canyoning. The austral winter from May to October is the cool season. At altitude, the temperature plummets significantly, while at the coast and especially the beach area (West), the water is still around 25°C. Note that as of June, and this for four months, one can behold the dance of the humpback whale near the coast of the island!
Best time to visit Reunion: There is two distinct seasons exist, winter and summer, although the difference is rather tenuous: a little more rain and heat in the summer (October to April). These seasons are reversed with respect to Metropolitan France. The between-seasons (May and September) are particularly pleasant, neither too hot nor cold. They do not bring any significant change that could justify the title of "season".
If you are trekking what time is best? The between-seasons (from May to June and from September to October) are especially recommended: it is not too hot, it is less likely to rain and it is possible to add a swim in the rivers to your hike or end the day at sea. Winter however (June-August), is also appropriate, provided that you bring wool for the cool nights.
Best beaches on Reunion: They are situated along the length of the West Coast (from "Boucan-Canot" to Saint-Leu) and in the South (Saint-Pierre, Manapany,…).
Best time for fishing:- From January to March: best period to fish for marlin.
- From April to May: big yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo, sailfish, shark, bonito, big marlins passing.
- From June to August: shark, yellowfin tuna, dorado, bonito
- From September to December: dorado, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, sailfish, shark, bonito, big marlins passing.
