What to do and see in Reunion Island, Reunion Island: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas
Home to one of the world's most active volcanoes, snow-capped Piton de Fournaise, Reunion is a little known gem. This rocky, French-governed island off the coast of East Africa is easily explored by Les Cars Jaunes, yellow buses that link main settlements. The road into the mountains provides breathtaking scenery. Bike tours on rough back roads are an option for the brave and the extremely fit. Beyond the reach of cars, untamed village Cirque de Mafate shows the island's wildest side.

What a beautiful spot for a picnic or just to relax. Anse des Cascades sits on the sea, with great views of the ocean on the one side and waterfalls surrounded by green forest on the other side. There is a restaurant and a takeaway shop. We had some sandwiches from the takeaway shop at a very reasonable price. The kids really enjoyed this as there were lots of paths to explore. A must stop when visiting.

Beautiful Vista. But the drive up the Mountain is equally impressive. The hikes are far and time consuming, but you will enjoy the trip to the top without doing the hikes.

it is for Free Check the weather forecast before planning your visit to the Makes window. This hike should preferably be done in the morning in order to best admire the scenery. Think about food and drinks. It can be reached by car or after a fairly easy walk. We passed through a superb forest of cryptomeria and then we looked this wonderful show on the circus of Cilaos and the ramparts. This is a must for a travel in the south of Reunion Island.

This hike is free and accessible to children. The Marvellous Rock Platform is located above the town of Cilaos. First a walk or a drive of a few kilometres, and then we stop at a car park. From there you walk a little and climb a few steps, and then from the belvedere you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Cilaos circus, the town and the ramparts. It is then possible to follow a botanical path. There are picnic areas. We will come back to La Roche Merveilleuse for a good time of relaxation.
