REUNION ISLAND TRAVEL (2026) | Top Places & Best Things To Do On The Island of La Réunion
The island of La Réunion is located in the southwestern Indian Ocean and is a French overseas department that offers a mix of European culture and Creole charm. Born from ancient volcanic activity, La Réunion is a dramatic, mountainous landscape defined by deep valleys, cascading waterfalls, and an active volcano. It also has three iconic cirques, which are natural amphitheaters that have been carved by erosion. We spent two and a half weeks exploring this untamed paradise, and in this video, we’ll highlight our favorite places and things to do here: 🏝️ REUNION ISLAND LIST OF ACTIVITIES: https://gyg.me/AtWPCVkt 🔗 LA RÉUNION TRAILS, ACTIVITIES & INFO ☑️ Trou de Fer Lookout Trail via Bélouve Gîte: https://www.alltrails.com/fr/randonnee/reunion/saint-benoit/le-trou-de-fer-via-belouve ☑️ Trou de Fer Lookout Trail via Hell-Bourg: https://www.alltrails.com/fr/randonnee/reunion/saint-benoit/de-hell-bourg-a-trou-de-fer ☑️ Sunset catamaran cruise from St-Gilles: https://www.getyourguide.com/africa-l207845/reunion-island-sunset-cruise-tour-with-cocktails-t1304257/?partner_id=57UJ5GF&utm_medium=online_publisher&cmp=LaReunion_video ☑️ Col des Bœufs to La Nouvelle hiking trail: https://www.alltrails.com/fr/randonnee/reunion/saint-paul/col-de-boeufs-a-la-nouvelle ☑️ Piton de la Fournaise Crater Trail: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/reunion/saint-pierre/piton-de-la-fournaise ☑️ Roche Verre Bouteille Hiking Trail (Cap Noir): https://www.alltrails.com/fr/randonnee/reunion/saint-paul/roche-verre-bouteille-kiosque-du-cap-noir ☑️ Lave Tubes & Tunnels Tour: https://www.getyourguide.com/sainte-rose-reunion-l206274/reunion-active-tour-of-the-lava-tubes-of-piton-de-la-fournaise-t1133181/?partner_id=57UJ5GF&utm_medium=online_publisher&cmp=LaReunion_video ☑️ Fleur Jaune canyoning tour: https://www.getyourguide.com/cilaos-l122490/cilaos-fleur-jaune-canyoning-mineral-vertical-panoramic-t1168839/?partner_id=57UJ5GF&utm_medium=online_publisher&cmp=LaReunion_video ☑️ Piton des Neiges summit trail: https://www.alltrails.com/fr/randonnee/reunion/saint-pierre/piton-des-neiges ☑️ 55-minute helicopter flight from Saint-Pierre: https://www.getyourguide.com/saint-pierre-reunion-l122500/from-saint-pierre-full-helicopter-flight-over-reunion-island-t888078/?partner_id=57UJ5GF&utm_medium=online_publisher&cmp=LaReunion_video 😴 WHERE TO STAY IN LA RÉUNION: - Boucan Canot: Cap Homard apartment ($$): https://www.booking.com/hotel/re/cap-homard-spacieux-appartement-avec-magnifique-vue.en.html?aid=7936148&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 - Cilaos: Ti'Laos ($$$): https://www.booking.com/hotel/re/ti-coin-charmant-cilaos.en.html?aid=7936148&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 - St Pierre: Les Filaos ($$): https://www.booking.com/hotel/re/les-filaos-saint-pierre.en.html?aid=7936148&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 - Saint Suzanne: Suite Vanille Bleue ($$): https://www.booking.com/hotel/re/suite-vanille-bleue.en.html?aid=7936148&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 - St Rose: Entre Terre & Mer ($$): https://www.booking.com/hotel/re/entre-terre-amp-mer-sainte-rose-974-sainte-rose.en.html?aid=7936148&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 🎥 MORE AFRICA VIDEOS: - La Réunion Travel Tips: https://youtu.be/yQ9khBkHuzE - Mauritius Things To do: https://youtu.be/UB3dH4Y08DI - South Africa Top 10 Places To Visit: https://youtu.be/DjoL1ehafFw 🗺️ OUR FREE LA RÉUNION GOOGLE MAP: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sB1qxRw2Qny5Utrx9 💰 SAVE MONEY ON YOUR TRIP & PLATFORMS WE USE: - Book cheap flights: https://skyscanner.pxf.io/c/3559813/1027991/13416?associateid=AFF_TRA_19354_00001 - Book accommodation: https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=7936148 - Book rental car: https://www.discovercars.com/?a_aid=Wordwildhearts - Get ESIM at 15% discount with code WWH15: https://saily.com/worldwildhearts - Find the best hiking trails: https://alltrails.pxf.io/c/3559813/1865884/22353 ✅ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldWildHearts 😊 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/worldwildhearts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@worldwildhearts ‼️ Note: some (drone) shots are stock footage from Canva 🎵 MUSIC CREDITS: Late Night Songs Instrumental Version by Steven Beddall Rejoice In The Morning by The David Roy Collective Under The Table Instrumental Version by Capri Everitt Happy Dance No Backing Vocals by Day Dreamers Homebound by Elijah Aaron Sunbound by Angelika Conrad Carefree No Backing Vocals by Letra Lost by FASSounds The Time Is Now by Roberto Prado 🎥 VIDEO CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 1:16 Trou de Fer Lookout Hike 2:27 The Wild South 3:30 Vanilla Plantation 4:44 La Réunion Best Beaches 5:59 Boat Tour 7:01 Col des Bœufs To La Nouvelle Hike 8:33 Hell-Bourg 9:49 Piton de la Fournaise 11:06 Le Maïdo Sunrise 12:06 Road To Cilaos 13:15 Cap Noir Hike 14:24 Lava Tubes And Tunnels 15:23 Canyoning 16:43 Piton des Neiges Hike 18:48 Helicopter Ride 20:02 More Information About La Réunion #lareunion #lareuniontravel #iledelareunion
