Reunion Island Trips & Tours

Outdoor lovers should look no further than this emerald island for a wild jungle and beach escape.

If you thought all tropical islands were the same, think again and take a peek into the kaleidoscopic world of Reunion Island. A tiny speck between Mauritius and Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, it might not look like much on Google Maps, but its diminutive 2500 square kilometres pack a real punch. Three sensational "cirques", formed by ancient collapsed volcanoes, plunge into the centre; the active Piton de la Fournaise towers high into the sky; emerald forests give way to sparkling waterfalls; and shimmering, sandy beaches rub shoulders with vibrant towns. Plenty for outdoor-lovers then, but with a heady mix of French, Creole, Indian and Chinese cultures that appear in everything from the food to the architecture, and good dose of chic beachside R&R, a Reunion Island holiday couldn’t possibly disappoint anyone.

Why you'll love your Reunion Island Trips & Tours package

Why you'll love it

Torn between a chilled-out beach holiday with plenty of sun, sea and sand, or a trip to appeal to your inner adventurer? Reunion has all the answers, with 1000 kilometres of hiking and walking trails, an active volcano waiting to be climbed and some photogenic picture-perfect beaches.

Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

It’s true that one of the best ways to discover Reunion is on foot, but that’s not to say you can’t do a little driving too. Hire a 4x4 and head deep into the heart of the island to the Salazie Crater and witness the beauty of Mother Nature at its finest.

Something to think about

Something to think about

Hotels in Reunion tend to be charming, family-run affairs and not quite as swanky as their counterparts in neighbouring Mauritius. If you’re looking for something slightly more glamorous, combine both islands for the perfect balance.

When to go on a Reunion Island Trip

Reunion follows the same weather pattern as her neighbour, Mauritius, and much of ‘safari’ Africa. May to October is the driest time of year and every day is near picture-perfect. Temperatures are dreamy and hover around the 25-degree mark and rain is unlikely making it an excellent time for almost every activity from hiking to sunbathing. The sea temperature is still warm at this time of year too, so water babies will be happy – and the whales start to arrive in August. November to March is much hotter and more humid. Rain comes (usually) in short, sharp bursts and will clear up in hours revealing plenty of sunshine, but January to March can be particularly stormy with cyclones in the area and we don’t recommend travelling at this time of year.
If hiking is high on your list while exploring this lush and beautiful volcanic island, visit between May and October when it is dry and the trails can be best embraced. These include the cirques of Mafate, Cilaos, and Salazie, and summiting the Piton des Neiges."
