Reunion is an exotic part of the world where wild nature combines with French elegance and comfort. This verdant island in the Indian Ocean, part of France, is ideal for adventurers, nature lovers and travellers looking for authentic experiences away from the tourist crowds. The varied landscape offers volcanic peaks, deep green calderas, tea plantations, tropical forests, waterfalls and dramatic coastlines. Reunion is where you can go from the moonscape of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano to the humid rainforest in a single day, or enjoy a croissant and coffee in a Creole town after a hike. Culturally, Reunion is a mosaic of influences from Europe, Africa, India and China, which is reflected not only in the language and traditions, but also in the varied cuisine and friendly atmosphere. French is the official language, the currency is the euro and travelling around the island is safe and comfortable. Reunion’s character makes it suitable for individual travellers and groups. We will be happy to arrange a trip for you on one of the following programmes:
- sightseeing (visiting towns, volcanoes, natural scenery and Creole culture)
