 Things
to do on holiday in Reunion Island
Explore the Cirques. As a volcanic
island, the topography of Reunion Island is unique and craggy, with the island’s
most enticing natural formations being its three cirques, formed as the inside
of Piton des Neiges - the volcano that gave birth to Reunion Island - and further
shaped by centuries of erosion. Most often referred to as natural amphitheaters,
these cirques – Salazie, Cilaos, and Mafate – are all a bit different, each attracting
travellers that are looking for a true adventure. Kayaking If you’re
not intimidated by the prospect of paddling on the waters of a vast ocean, then
you’ll probably enjoy sea kayaking. This sport has gained many fans throughout
the last few decades, especially in places such as Alaska or island locations
like Reunion. Sea kayaks are larger and faster than traditional recreational kayaks
and the chance to explore Reunion Island’s coast and coastal wildlife can be quite
fascinating. Many outfitters offer guided sea kayaking tours, providing all the
equipment you’ll need for a safe trip on the Indian Ocean.  Gourmet
Getaways - the cuisine on La Réunion is a superb blend of French and
Creole Cuisine. From beach front restaurants to gastronomy in the mountains Reunion
has something to offer the tastebuds!

Not
as well-known as nearby Mauritius or the not-so-far-away British Seychelles, little
Reunion seems but a speck in the vast ocean, dwarfed by Madagascar, located 500
miles to the west. The French know the island well but only the very well-traveled
have ever stepped foot on Reunion's varied and enticing terrain. With an active
volcano on its south coast, 17 miles of warm, welcoming beaches in the west, and
lots of mountains and forests in between, Reunion Island offers vacation opportunities
ranging from relaxing to truly insane. If you're looking for a place to "chill
out", you'll find it here. But if you're the kind of vacationer who prefers an
adrenaline rush over a sunburn, the possibilities are endless.
Beach
Weddings - Thinking of getting married abroad? An overseas wedding is a fun
and exotic way to get hitched. Exchange wedding vows on a sandy white beach or
in Stone Town. The city of Stone Town is intensely romantic with an Arabian feel
and a marriage can easily be arranged at many of the top hotels. A beach wedding
can also be arranged at resorts and hotels from three to five star.
