Deep ravines, torrents, pools and waterfalls create a rich, diverse and attractive landscape, perfect for multiple outdoor sports and activities. Numerous sites and easy trails, in the heart of the National Park, provide endless opportunities to explore this unique countryside and remain constantly on the move. If you’re looking for unique encounters, in exceptional surroundings, Reunion Island is the place for you! Safeguarding and sharing these treasures with future generations should be a responsibility that we all share! As part of your outdoor activities, you’re going to encounter some remarkable natural environments. This heritage is fragile, so here are a few simple rules to follow to help preserve it: • take all your rubbish with you, even if it’s biodegradable (it encourages the presence of cats and rats which are harmful to native birds). • stay on signposted trails and don’t take shortcuts • respect the surrounding vegetation without trampling plants underfoot or breaking branches • when lighting a fire, you must only use designated fire sites; help protect the natural environment from any fire risk (cigarettes, matches, camp fire, fire works).

Pitons, cirques and remparts of Reunion Island inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2010

IRT/Anakaopress©

The island’s Pitons, Cirques and Remparts were included on UNESCO’s exclusive world heritage list in 2010, in recognition of their exceptional natural beauty and the richness of the biodiversity that they support. Reunion Island’s National Park oversees this area which extends over 40% of the island, including the heart of the region.

ON LAND

Trembling on top of a volcano With its microclimates and range of landscapes, it’s impossible to remain indifferent to the charms of Reunion Island. You can enjoy hikes, horse-riding or mountain biking on trails throughout the islands. The island’s unique volcano transports you into a fantasy world. You can visit its underground galleries and explore the very bowels of the earth; the island’s interior offers numerous adventure and discovery courses, designed to cater for all tastes. Golf, potholing, climbing or a simple walk in the forest, exploring the highland tamarinds and coastal beaches: the choice is yours! 5

ON LAND

With more than 900 kilometres of marked routes and three long-distance footpaths, Reunion is a paradise for hikers. Its Pitons, Cirques and Remparts have been included on UNESCO’s world heritage list, and serve as a showcase for the island’s heritage. A succession of exceptional sites and landscapes will inspire you to explore some of the island’s more remote spots. From kids’ trails and family walks, to extreme hikes ... there’s something to make everyone happy. Whether you prefer hiking with experienced guides or under your own steam, there are numerous mountain gîtes and establishments offering table d’hôtes meals where you can enjoy hospitality and friendship. Heritage, culture, geology, photo trekking and environmental tourism all intersect along your route. 6

The Piton de la Fournaise is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. It’s also unique in being one of the most accessible. You can even go down into the Enclos Fouqué, one of the calderas. Follow signposted trails or a guide who can lead you further afield to explore the unique surroundings. The vast area, surrounding the volcano, will certainly pique your interest: the road that leads to the volcano and cuts across the Plaine des Sables alone is worth a trip. The Rivière des Remparts, the Nez Coupé de Sainte-Rose, the Cassé de la Rivière de l’Est, the Piton de l’Eau and the Route des Laves can all be done in a day.

BÉLOUVE IRT/Anakaopress©

VOLCANO

Bélouve forest is quite unique. It is one of the most beautiful tamarind forests in the island. Located in the eastern highlands, it looks out onto the cirque of Salazie and the spectacular Trou de Fer waterfalls. There are many endemic species and tree ferns along the trail. Botany enthusiasts will just love it. The site can be reached via a route through the forest, where you can enjoy plenty of designated picnic areas. 7

ON LAND

The Piton des Neiges summit is a must for any serious hiker. At 3,071 metres, it’s the highest point in the Vanilla Islands. The sun rising over the clouds is a simply stupendous sight. There are a variety of possible itineraries, via Les Plaines, Cilaos, le Dimitile, Bélouve and Salazie, requiring varying levels of endurance. We recommend spending a night at the refuge to watch the sun rise over the entire island.

PITON DES NEIGES

IRT/Stephane Benard©

MAÏDO

Le Piton Maïdo is very popular, particularly if you enjoy family excursions. Its major attraction is the view. Wherever you look, whether over the Cirque of Mafate, the Piton des Neiges, the Roche Ecrite or the west coast, you’ll be dazzled by some truly magnificent scenery. It’s also one of the access points down to the Cirque of Mafate, and the îlets de Roche Plate and les Orangers. Experienced hikers can follow trails to the Grand Bénare, the island’s third highest peak (2,898 m), which offers an exceptional panoramic view, or take an alternative route towards the historic site of la Glacière. Other attractions here include: the Maïdo’s highland tamarind forest and the geranium fields, to which the island’s perfume distilleries owe their age-old reputation. And if you enjoy observing the night sky, the Maïdo is the place for you.

THE DIMITILE

THE CIRQUES

The Dos d’Âne and La Roche Écrite hiking trails offer exceptional views. The trek from Cap Noir to Dos d’Ane, overlooking the Cirque of Mafate, is an easy walk. Plaine des Chicots, en route to the Roche Ecrite, is Reunion cuckoo shrike - a native bird that is also a protected species - country. The Plaine d’Affouches region, the Colorado, the Chemin des Anglais and the coastal path which borders the coast between Saint-Denis and Sainte-Suzanne, also have their fans.

SAINTE-ROSE IRT/Emmanuel Virin©

The three cirques on the island (Salazie, Cilaos and Mafate) are vast amphitheatres marked out by remparts which are part of the National Park. There are many, and varied trails through this authentic scenery. Mafate, a unique paradise for hikers, can only be accessed on foot via five entry points: the Rivière des Galets, Dos d’Âne, Salazie, Cilaos and le Maïdo. There are many trails and hiking refuges. You can hike for several days through there. The beauty of lush, green Salazie, with its waterfalls and legendary peaks overlooked by Bélouve forest and the Piton des Neiges, is sure to delight. Cilaos is a memorable and popular mountain resort that offers a range of activities. Hiking is accessible to everyone here.

THE NORTH

The peak offers a splendid panoramic view of Cilaos, L’Entre-Deux, the Piton des Neiges and the Piton de la Fournaise. The trail follows the footsteps of runaway slaves, giving you a glimpse of the history of slavery. L’Entre-Deux, a typical Creole village, offers a number of original, varied itineraries where you can enjoy tranquil surroundings, views of Cilaos and the south of the island.

L’ÉTANG-SALÉ

The Sainte Rose region has a range of short and long hikes - along cliffs, volcanic trails and the coast with its abundance of screwpine trees - that are not too taxing. Unless you decide to explore the Grand Brûlé, a unique and exceptional site at the foot of the volcano.

L’Étang-Salé is divided between a black, sandy beach and a state-owned forest. Whatever your preference, the region has enough hiking trails to delight everyone, thanks to its variety of landscapes. Nearby, the coastal trail which links the Etang du Gol to Saint-Louis, Le Souffleur with its rocky coastline, and the ocean sunsets, are also popular with the small community of local hikers. 9

THREE LONG-DISTANCE FOOT PATHS With its three long distance foot paths, Reunion Island offers a range of trails for visitors - kitted out with walking boots and backpacks - to explore. You can go hiking for several days along these trails. These itineraries, along marked, well-maintained trails, are typically based on 6 hours a day walking. The legendary Piton des Neiges Tour (GRR1) can be completed in 6 stages, taking in the island’s three cirques and the Vanilla Island’s highest peak. The GRR2 long distance trail takes you right across the island in 12 days while the GRR3, the Cirque of Mafate Tour, can be completed in 5 stages.

Sporting and walking enthusiasts can take advantage of the range of landscapes on offer: forests, meadows, fields of sugar cane, savannas and shorelines. Professionals offer a range of original routes: marked coastal trails, treks through the highlands of Le Maïdo, l’Étang-Salé and Le Tévelave or around the historic sites of Saint-Paul, the Plains and the Volcano: the choice is vast.

CLIMBING With its Pitons, Cirques and Remparts, classified as UNESCO world heritage sites, you’ll encounter no end of exceptional landscapes. From high mountain to climbing school courses, from basalt cliffs to boulder-strewn gullies, there’s something for all levels and interests. In Cilaos, the Piton de Sucre and its major climbing routes (up to 300 metres high) are set against the backdrop of the erupted magma chamber of the Piton des Neiges. Don’t miss the "Légende des Tropiques," the multi-pitch route that runs right next to the waterfall at Fleurs Jaunes canyon. Are you in good shape? If so, head for the Trois Salazes ridge with its three rocky peaks, or perhaps the Piton des Calumets, in the heart of Mafate, and then the Cimendef pyramid which translates as, "You can’t go through!" It’s these kinds of routes, leading along narrow ridges, that make mountaineering in Reunion so attractive and so special. 16

Supervised "adventure courses," in the middle of the countryside can be enjoyed by all age groups throughout the island. Safety procedures and equipment are checked regularly. In the East, the Niagara waterfall’s Via Ferrata provides a unique setting. Its cliff face will certainly appeal to fans of vertical drops. In La Petite France, in the west, and les Makes and Cilaos, in the South, the variety of landscapes has given rise to three forest tree-top adventure courses. They offer a number of workshops that will delight all the family. With a Tibetan Bridge that spans the waterfall, and a zipwire, adventure is very much on the agenda, for novices and veterans alike! 18

POT HOLING Reunion Island has long kept its treasures under wraps. This is no longer the case today! It’s now possible to explore the lava tubes in complete safety. This special and unique underground world remains very fragile but you can explore it alongside enthusiastic professionals and specialists who’ll introduce you to an astonishing natural environment. Certain routes can extend over kilometres, turning into genuine explorations. Others are more accessible and involve shorter visits. Kitted out with helmets and head torches, as a family you can enjoy some fun, life-sized, Natural Science lessons. The bowels of the earth provide an impressive spectacle with solidified lava cascades and stalagmites. Reunion Island has turned this into a unique, oneof-a-kind attraction. 20

In the East, a tour of the ancient volcanic lake, Grand-Étang, is a great way of exploring a quite unique site. Discover the local flora, listen to the birds, pick fruit without dismounting, all at your own pace: these are the delights that await you. Around SainteAnne and Bras Canot, your horse will steer you between orchards of lychee fruit and fields of sugar cane and pineapples.

GRAND-ÉTANG

HORSE RIDING Trekking enthusiasts will find something to delight them throughout the island, whether it’s riding along forest trails, under the shade of filaos trees, over cool high plateaus, surrounded by volcanic wasteland or across the savanna. Whether you prefer a beginner’s trek or a bivouac expedition, the equestrian tourist centres will be delighted to share their love of horses with you.

A day’s trek on horse-back to Bourg-Murat, is a highlight for any horse-riding enthusiast. The village is located on the outer edges of the volcano. The trails snake towards the Plaine des Sables and then lead to the Pas de Bellecombe. The panoramic view extends over craters and old lava flows. Other sites, such as the high plateaus and Notre-Dame de la Paix also offer spectacular views.

SAINT-PAUL

The vast network of equestrian trails around Le Maïdo, in the hills of Saint-Paul, look out across the entire west coast, traversing forests of highland tamarinds. In the Hauts de Saint-Leu Forest, visitors can enjoy glimpses of the ocean in the distant horizon, interspersed with other exceptional views. The savanna, in Saint-Paul, bordering the coast around Cap La Houssaye, is the perfect place for mastering your three paces and enjoying some zen moments.

WILD SOUTH

The Wild South certainly lives up to its name. Horse-trekking takes on a whole new dimension, on the coastal trail from Manapany to Grand-Anse, along the coast. A detour via the traditional village of Grand Coude will certainly surprise you. The fabulous endemic forests of Saint-Philippe and the coastal scenery in Petite-Ile mean you’ll never want the adventure to end.

LES MAKES

A trek across Les Makes plateau will lead you through forests of cryptomerias. In this South-Westerly region, the trails cut through diverse, tropical vegetation. Go on a trek to a traditional, charming village and explore the local farms. Why not treat yourself to a horse-riding excursion in the middle of the countryside.

RIVER-BASED Thrills and chills

Reunion Island boasts an incredible number of rivers, pools and gullies. Canyoning is a fun way of exploring, and immersing yourself in this landscape, with its internationally renowned sites. Each corner of the island has something surprising to offer. The range of activities is vast. You can also enjoy aquatic hiking, rafting, canoe-rafting and kayaking in some outstanding locations.

TROU BLANC

Trou Blanc is renowned in Hell-Bourg as Reunion Island’s canyoning jewel. Located in the Cirque of Salazie, with its numerous waterfalls, it’s well known throughout the island for its slides. It’s also one of the most fun sites and recommended by the experts. There is water everywhere in this country which is green all year round. You’ll end your trip on a 40 m high zipwire, so get ready to jump! Laughter, happiness and high spirits guaranteed!

TROU DE FER

It takes two days and a genuine expedition to conquer the Trou de Fer canyon. Spectacular images of the site are already famous around the world. A night in a bivouac will leave you with some unforgettable memories, memories that are as vast as the vertical drops that characterise this amazing site, surrounded by extraordinary landscapes. You’ll find yourself in the very heart of Reunion Island and its primary forest.

CANYONING Canyoning is the outdoor pursuit par excellence and Reunion Island is the sport’s most beautiful adventure playground. Swimming, climbing, abseiling, jumps, slides: the island’s rugged relief provides no end of natural resources. From the mountainous region of Cilaos to the white waters in the east: the outdoor courses are accessible all year round but may vary depending on the season. There’s a huge amount of variety in the forests, with numerous waterfalls and cliffs. Some, such as the Trou de Fer, now rank amongst the planet’s most spectacular sites. In Reunion Island, everyone can experience the thrill of canyoning. Novices, thrill-seekers, fun-lovers and extreme sports enthusiasts, there’s something for everyone. In this veritable canyoning paradise, the safety of canyoning routes, and the professionalism of service providers have become the gold standard. 30

TAKAMAKA

In the east, descending the superb Takamaka, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, is something you have to experience. Specialists will particularly enjoy the technical component of this extensive canyon. The wild landscapes of Bras Sec, in the Saint-Benoit region, are reserved solely for thrill-seekers and fans of huge voids and vertical drops.

CILAOS

The canyons of Gobert, Bras-Rouge and Ferrière, at the foot of the Piton des Neiges, certainly rival that of Fleurs Jaunes. The multitude of slides, jumps and waterfalls are sure to delight all. Here and there, hot water springs spurt from the river banks, reminding us of the country’s thermal origins. In addition to the amazing colours, there are many more surprises in store for visitors to the Cirque of Cilaos, a veritable paradise for canyoning! 31

RIVIÈRE LANGEVIN

The area around Saint-Joseph and the Langevin river, in the Wild South, is a real delight! It’s the ideal place to have fun with family and friends - without fear! "Ti Cap" and "Grain Galet" canyons, near the Grand-Galet waterfall, offer a variety of jumps and slides that are perfect for enjoying the water. Abseiling and zipwires offer a perfect complement to these sites much loved on account of their unspoiled and natural beauty.

RIVIÈRE SAINT-SUZANNE

Sainte-Suzanne, located a stone’s throw from the coast and the capital, between fields of sugar cane, is unique in the North-East. In this island, full of treasures, the site can seem rather remote to canyoning enthusiasts. But be wary of appearances! A series of pools, lush vegetation, jumps, abseiling and zipwires conceal a wonderful surprise - a passage through a lava cave!

FOCUS

"FLEURS JAUNES INTÉGRALE"

in Cilaos, is a jewel amongst the island’s many canyoning sites. It enjoys an exceptional setting. Should I describe its slides, its 50 metre abseil, the succession of seven waterfalls and its "spider-wire" descent extending over nearly 100 metres? Perhaps you and your family should test out the mini Fleur Jaunes before attempting the "integrale"... But, most importantly, be sure to take time to appreciate the amazing view of the cirque of Cilaos and the Piton des Neiges.

WHITE WATER White water enthusiasts will be delighted by the range of activities on offer in Reunion Island! The Rivière des Roches and the Rivière des Marsouins in the East, or the Rivière Langevin in the Wild South, will be their exclusive playground. There’s no shortage of jumps, slides and bathing sites amongst the multitude of natural pools. The main attraction: they’re suitable for all.

AT SEA

Flirting with the Indian Ocean Reunion Island boasts 200 kilometres of land bordered by the ocean and distant horizon. All aspects of the sea and sea-life converge here. This wealth of riches means that there’s a whole range of activities available, both family-friendly and more unusual excursions such as the Natural Marine Reserve’s under water trail, or for the sporting amongst you, diving and deep-sea fishing. Now, all that remains is to meet the whales and dolphins!

On Trou d’Eau beach, at Saline-les-Bains, there is a special area set aside for Windsurf and Kitesurfing. Fans of the sport have fun being carried along by the wind. Near Ravine Blanche, as in Saint-Pierre, they have developed a technical site where daredevil sportsmen and woman put on some great, high-level performances.

Boat trips and cruises on the open sea, encounters with whales, dolphins and turtles, deep-sea fishing, sea kayaking and transparent kayaking, Flyboarding, Kitesurfing, Stand Up Paddle, aquatic hikes and treks... In Reunion Island there are waterbased activities to suit all tastes. Whether it’s at sea, in the lagoon, along the beaches and coasts, there’s something for everyone. There are numerous professionals and a variety of equipment and secure sites available. Whether you’re after a sporty or friendly, fun experience; whether you want to relax or simply enjoy the spectacle, there’s everything you need here to enjoy the beach and ocean. Everyone is free to immerse themselves in their own underwater environment, throughout the year. Whether you’re young or old, alone or with your family, you can just follow your heart’s desire! 38

Join an excursion and enjoy a pleasant evening out on the open sea, admiring the sunset with family or friends. Another option: sail on a traditional, wooden Norwegian sailboat, dating back to 1937.

IRT/Serge Gélabert©

WATER-BASED LEISURE ACTIVITIES

Liveaboard catamarans, the largest measuring 14.3 m long, are a great way of discovering the island and its coasts from the ocean; so as soon as the wind permits, it’s full sail ahead! Take to the open seas to meet dolphins and whales during whale-watching season!

IRT/Studio Lumière©

The still, shallow waters of Ermitage lagoon, extending as far as Saline-les-Bains, are protected by the coral reef. Stand Up Paddle has arrived on the scene. It’s a new activity, suitable for all. Qualified, trained leaders will teach you the ropes so you can enjoy the delights of exploring the lagoon. Whether its a simple outing or a genuine trek, covering several kilometres along the beach, everyone will find something to suit their level. Thanks to the transparency of the water, it’s also a great alternative way of exploring the wildlife and the environment protected by the Natural Marine Reserve. In addition to the more traditional sporty kayaks, transparent kayaks have also arrived on the beaches of Reunion Island.

In the fish-bearing waters of Reunion Island, deep-sea fishing often results in recordbreaking catches. Marlins weighing in excess of 200 kg are not uncommon. Deepsea fishing can be practised all year round and it’s not uncommon to return to dock with bream, bonito, marlins, tuna, sailfish etc... There are around thirty fish aggregating devices (FAD) along the coast. The sea is often calm with a western zone protected from prevailing winds. One of the region’s main attractions: fishing spots that are just 20 minutes away and reduced sailing times; this means there is plenty of scope for organising half-day excursions, which are rare in the world of deep-sea fishing, and particularly popular amongst novices and groups of friends. In the South, in Saint-Pierre or in the west, in Saint-Gilles, equipped boats, available to rent, can be hired for special occasions.

LA POSSESSION

In the bay, on the bottom of the black sand, the only reefs are those created by the shipwrecked Sea Venture and the old barge. The area is teaming with shoals of fish and night dives around the barge make it a very popular destination. Cap La Houssaye, just a stone’s throw away, is accessible from the shore and suitable for divers of all levels. With its numerous faults, drops-offs and caves, it’s the site boasting the richest variety of fish and colour. Turtles are not uncommon.

SAINT-GILLES

DIVING The water is warm (between 23° and 29°Celsius) and clear (between 25 and 50 metres) all year round in Reunion Island! It’s the perfect opportunity to get into the water and enjoy some scuba diving and the variety of easily accessible diving sites. The most distant sites are no more than 25 minutes away by boat. Sites offer all types of diving, for all ability levels. You can swim with dolphins, go for an underwater hike or try an introductory dive at a diving centre. Snorkels and flippers are another way of exploring the lagoon and discovering a large number of the colourful, tropical aquatic life forms that populate the waters of Reunion Island. Extending over an area of 35 km2, the Natural Marine Reserve is one of France’s largest marine protected areas. With 160 varieties of hard coral and 550 species of tropical fish linked to the reserve’s coral environment, numerous shipwrecks all around the island and amazing underground landscapes, Reunion Island is worth exploring in depth! 44

Major diving sites in the island. With the Pain de Sucre, the Cheminée and the Passe de l’Ermitage, Reunion Island’s underwater landscape certainly rivals that of its land-based mountains. The Haï Siang shipwreck, a 49 metre lobster fishing boat is a major attraction. And it’s not the only one. The diversity of fish, off the coast of Saint-Gilles, is incredible. Moray eels, lobsters, eagle rays, fusiliers, parrot-fish and all types of other fish congregate there. The Passe de l’Ermitage, which descends to a depth of around 20 metres, is accessible to all. It’s a green turtle cleaning station.

The Sec Jaune, the Jardin des Kiosques, the Point au Sel drop-off, the Arche de Noël, the Deux Arches, the Antonio Lorenzo shipwreck: it’s certainly no coincidence that Saint-Leu, like Saint-Gilles, is home to numerous diving centres. There are opportunities for divers of all levels. Traces of volcanic activity, the clear waters (up to 50 metres), the coral reef and canyons have all contributed to the area’s reputation. The Pointe au Sel drop-off is the island’s gold standard for diving excursions. This 60 metre drop-off is the favourite hunting ground for pelagic fish.

Drops-offs and rocky outcrops, 20-60 m deep, reveal a dense and varied marine life. Pelagic fish (tuna, sailfish, sword fish, wahoos, king mackerel), reef fish, groupers, white gorgonians and scorpion fish can be found here. It’s a paradise for photographers and biologists.

At Étang-Salé-les-Bains, the Petit Tombant, the Poséidon and the grottes du Portail, on the southern edge of the Natural Marine Reserve, all have their fans. With its rugged coastline, explorers will love swimming through the well-preserved arches, caves and recumbent basalt pillars. The coral reef flat, Le Petit Tombant, is accessible to level 1 divers.

SAINT-PIERRE

There are numerous diving sites in the South. At SaintPierre and towards the south, you’ll find twenty kilometres of "underwater mountains." The only restrictions are those imposed by the sea which at times is somewhat changeable. Collapsed lava flows, rocky peaks separating valleys of sand, faults and fractures, caves: sites of breath-taking magnitude! At Saint-Pierre: Dédale, the Grand Tombant, the Tombant aux Ancres, the orientation trail, Cathedrale, la Galère, Bénitier and the Trois Arches should all form part of your programme. You’ll enjoy the beauty of the reef flats around Ravine Blanche and Grand-Bois.

For several years now, the presence of cetaceans around Reunion Island, between the months of June and October, has made whale and dolphin watching excursions a must. The whales are easy to spot and willing to approach the island’s shores, which is not the case in most destinations. Professional organisations have been trained in whale watching and raising awareness about whale protection and will be delighted to share their knowledge with you. Although it is possible, and certainly an unforgettable experience, to participate in a whale or dolphin watching excursion on a hire boat, a catamaran, or cruise boat, such excursions can only be undertaken if they comply with framework guidelines and conditions for conduct vis à vis the animals: hence the implementation of a wildlife observation charter which you can consult by scanning the QRcode. (See cruise providers on page 41). The more adventurous among you may be lucky enough to observe cetaceans in the water during a underwater trek, adhering to current regulations and the charter (See diving service providers pages 47-48). Whale watching mostly takes place on the west coast, between Saint-Paul bay, off the coast of Saint-Gilles and along the coral reef. Dolphins are present all year round off the island’s coast.

IN THE AIR

SAINT-PAUL BELLEMÈNE

L’ENTRE-DEUX

From Le Dimitile take-off site, you’ll get to fly over some magnificent forests. This is a fabulous mountain flight where you’ll be carried by the wind above the ridges and deposited in the heart of the village of l’EntreDeux.

PARAGLIDING, FREE FLIGHT To be included on your itinerary when visiting Reunion Island: the world paragliding championships! The island is classified as an exceptional site with ideal weather and flying conditions. Top specialists regularly stop off here, particularly for the World Cup Series fixtures. The competition allows them to enjoy the rich diversity of landscapes as well as the joys of flying between land and sea on the other side of the world. Why not try it yourself, whether you’re interested in learning or enjoying new experiences. You can simply fly over the lagoon and land on the fine sandy beach. There are very few destinations in the world that offer such varied landscapes. Take a dual-flight, for a thrilling introduction to paragliding; you can also learn how to paraglide or improve your paragliding skills, assisted by enthusiastic instructors. 52

THE BIG THRILL

Words simply can’t convey the wonders of flying over the Piton des Neiges summit, deemed an exceptional site by experienced paragliders. It’s possible to take off from the Vanilla Island’s highest peak, which is 3,071 metres above sea level. And you’ll have certainly earned this pleasure, after a hike lasting several hours and an overnight stay in Caverne Dufour gîte. Sensational and unforgettable are the words used by those lucky enough to have enjoyed such an experience, once they’ve landed back in Cilaos.

LA POSSESSION

Dos d’Âne will introduce you to the delights of Mafate and the remparts as you fly over the Rivière des Galets. A site speciality: high Speed Flying! A thrilling experienced guaranteed!

In Bellemène, on the slopes of Saint-Paul, there’s a school specially designed for learning how to paraglide. Your flight path will take you over the magnificent bay where the island’s first inhabitants landed. You can also explore the Etang de Saint-Paul lake - today a listed nature reserve - before landing in the middle of a field, in Savanna, next to the historic site of the former sugar cane factory. For more extreme thrill-seekers, flying over the Plateau du Maïdo above forests of tamarinds and the Cirque of Mafate is an exceptional experience. It’s one of the island’s main spots for mountain sightseeing flights.

IN THE AIR

Les Colimaçons is one of the world’s most beautiful paragliding sites. At 800 m above sea level, the hills of Saint-Leu, with their uninterrupted view of the west coast, the lagoon and coral reef, are a unique spot, particularly if you’re lucky enough to see any whales or dolphins before landing on the sand. Gliding above fields of sugar cane, Mascarin’s National Botanical Conservatory and Kelonia, the Marine Turtle Observatory, is an experience that can’t fail to move you. The thermal currents for which the region is renowned, can extend the duration of a flight, prolonging the thrilling experience. Acrobatic and aerobatic paragliding flights are also available. Equally unique: children’s flights for ages 3 and above.

ANNIVERSARY

OF THE INCLUSION OF "THE PITONS, CIRQUES AND REMPARTS OF REUNION ISLAND" ON THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST In August 2010, UNESCO decided to include the "Pitons, cirques and remparts" of Reunion Island on the list of Natural World Heritage Sites. These exceptional jewels of the natural world fully deserve such recognition and include: the unique Piton des Neiges, the "Roof of the Indian Ocean"; the volcanically active Piton de La Fournaise; the lush green Cirques of Cilaos, Mafate and Salazie; the island’s spectacularly beautifully landscapes; its rich biodiversity; its remarkable flora and natural environments; its rich and diverse wildlife; and its range of natural phenomena.

The entire site is partitioned by imposing "remparts," which you can explore during the many wonderful hikes around the National Park, in the heart of the island. Reunion Island is one of the world’s essential destinations. A visit to Reunion Island is an opportunity to explore nature, meet the island’s inhabitants and learn about their culture, in an environmentally responsible way. In 2015, Reunion Island was listed as one of the world’s Top 10 eco-friendly destinations.
