River tubing on the Langevin: 2026 prices and booking

This is the only tubing listing bookable online in Reunion Island: €60 per person with Bouée Péi, a long-established operator in the wild south based in Saint-Joseph. The format runs 4 hours on site, including around 2 hours of active tubing, with the rest made up of the briefing, gearing up, the approach walk and the wrap-up. The meeting point is at the base, 146 Rue de la Passerelle in Saint-Joseph (access from the RN2, Langevin exit).

The scenery is exceptional: the Langevin river flows through a black basalt canyon between Saint-Joseph and Grand Galet, with pools, natural slides and calmer stretches. You descend on an inflatable Jobe tube (a professional tubing brand) with a white helmet and life jacket, guided by a state-certified instructor who leads the way and gives safety instructions before each technical section.

Who it's for: teens and adults (from age 13) after a fun water activity in the wild south, travellers who've already done the classic Langevin canyoning trip or the aqua-hike and want to try a more playful format without abseiling technique, groups of friends and families with sporty teens (the wetsuit, helmet and life jacket provide enough safety margin for the livelier sections). Who it's not for: under 13s (take the family-friendly Petit Galet canyoning trip on the same river instead, see my Langevin Canyon page), non-swimmers (being able to swim 50m minimum is a prerequisite checked at the briefing).

Manawa rate €60 per person. The listing is new on Manawa and has no reviews yet, but Bouée Péi is a well-known name that travellers search for directly. Included: an instructor, a neoprene wetsuit, a helmet, a life jacket, a Jobe tube and pump, a waterproof bag with a filtering water bottle. Flexible Manawa cancellation.
