Discover Reunion Island
Miles of hiking trails across lunar landscapes, acres of lush green forests, gorgeous sandy beaches and a vast ocean teeming with marine life are all yours to discover on Reunion Island. Recognised widely for its adventure offering, the authentic and captivating Reunion Island is a dramatic landscape of volcanic terrain, lush green forests, tropical gardens, white, black and green beaches and of course, the warm Indian Ocean. Whether hiking through the natural UNESCO heritage regions (covering 42% of the island), canyoning down waterfalls, gliding along in a glass-bottom boat or having a go at stand-up paddle boarding, there are plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. It’s not all about action however, no island experience is complete without some time spent lazing on the beach with a cocktail in hand and there are plenty of beauty spas to visit for a pampering treat.
Romantics who want to do more than lie on the beach during their island holiday should put Reunion Island at the top of their list for an adventure filled romantic getaway. Reunion is an unforgettable destination; after dark, the island’s nightlife is a blend of local bars and beach restaurants peppered with regular music and culture festivals. By day there are temples to explore as well as visits to vanilla farms, perfumeries and historic buildings which reveal over 300 years of diverse civilisation on this three-million year old island.
It’s not for nothing that island holidays are high on traveller’s dream lists but with South Africans needing no visas or inoculations to visit this malaria-free paradise. Reunion is a convenient four hour flight from Johannesburg with Air Austral and is close enough to become a reality and to escape the stress of daily life. Travel Counsellors believes that you will return invigorated.
