Overview

Things to do on Reunion Island by theme

Within just 2,512 km², Reunion Island packs in a range of landscapes that's hard to find anywhere else: an active volcano you can walk up to, three cirques carved out by erosion, a protected coral lagoon on the west coast, high-altitude primary forests, and some of the most fish-rich diving spots in the Indian Ocean. Each side of the island has its own signature activities, local operators and seasonal windows.

In the air

Helicopter flights over Mafate and Dolomieu crater, microlight flights from Saint-Paul, tandem paragliding over the Saint-Leu lagoon, paramotoring and bungee jumping. An aerial view is the only way to really understand the island's sculpted topography.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about activities on Reunion Island

What's the must-do activity on Reunion Island?
Flying over Piton de la Fournaise by helicopter, descending the Fleur Jaune canyon in the Cilaos cirque, a first dive in Saint-Leu, and watching humpback whales from July to October rank among the island's most memorable experiences. The catalogue lists 79 local activities, from the summit of Maïdo to the Saint-Gilles lagoon.
How much does an activity cost on Reunion Island?
The most affordable deals start around €25 to €40 (guided snorkelling, glass-bottom kayaking in the lagoon, pony rides). Half-day outings usually run between €50 and €120 (canyoning, a first dive, tandem paragliding). Premium experiences (longer helicopter flights, microlight flights, a private chauffeured excursion) can reach €300 to €500.
When should you book activities on Reunion Island?
In high season (July, August and local school holidays), plan to book 7 to 10 days ahead, especially for helicopter flights, Fleur Jaune canyoning and whale watching (seasonal window July to October). Outside peak season, booking the day before or even the same morning is often enough for coastal activities.
What activities can you do as a family with children?
Glass-bottom kayaking in the Trou d'Eau lagoon, pony rides at Bassin Bœuf and outrigger canoeing in Saint-Gilles are open to children from 4 to 6 years old depending on the operator. Supervised snorkelling in the Ermitage lagoon suits the whole family. For teenagers, a first scuba dive is open from age 8 at some clubs in Saint-Leu and Saint-Gilles.
Why use a local site instead of a travel blog?
The site is edited from Reunion Island. Prices and availability are checked continuously with partner platforms (Manawa, Funbooker), all 474 deals are aggregated into a single comparison tool, and booking costs exactly the same as on the operator's official platform. No extra cost compared with booking direct.
Local, independent site

An independent comparison tool, updated continuously

The catalogue is edited from Reunion Island. Listings aggregate deals from several partner platforms (Manawa, Funbooker) at the operator's official price, with no extra cost to you. The goal: let you compare durations, meeting points and levels at a glance, without opening five tabs. Prices and reviews are re-checked regularly.
