Reunion Island — location and features

Reunion is an island in the Indian Ocean that enchants tourists and travelers with its variety of exotic nature.

Here you will find rainforests, white beaches such as Brisants Beach and clear blue seas, mountainous areas that look like a postcard from the Giant Mountains, or an active volcano, the slopes of which are most reminiscent of a lunar landscape. 

This is Reunion, a tropical paradise and a frequent destination for tours to exotic countries with hilarious hotels.

To France for the exotic

The tropical climate and territories of numerous palm trees with tropical fruits are not usually associated with Europe, but Reunion is a full part of France, to which it belongs as an overseas department, serves as part of the country of the Gallic rooster and the European Union (do not forget to bring your passport, as French overseas territories are not part of the Schengen area).

However, Reunion is not the place that primarily attracts those who want to spend their holidays on a sun lounger with a cocktail in hand. Although there are several beaches on the island, the main thing that Reunion has to offer is something else. 

It attracts visitors primarily with its diverse nature and the many activities that can be done on it.

If you are a nature lover, head to the Babur forest for at least a few hours and listen to the symphony of birds while admiring the huge communities of trees. And if mountains are your thing, be sure to check out Piton des Neiges, the highest mountain on the island at over 3,000 meters. 

Also worth seeing are the natural amphitheaters called "circuses", which are actually calderas of extinct volcanoes. But Réunion also has an active volcano, Piton de la Fournaise - even one of the most active in the world. You can be calm, he does not pose a threat.

In the mountains and under water

Do you prefer a few days of hiking or surfing on one of the most famous beaches? Do you prefer to go snorkeling or get an adrenaline rush from canyoning?

Reunion is only 70 km long, but there are countless things to do, you decide which one to choose.
