Things to do in Reunion Island, Reunion Island: The Best Specialty Museums

October 28, 2021 Harland Bartelt

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.

Musee des Musiques et Instruments de L'ocean Indien

Reviewed By HoboGecko - Singapore, Singapore

I've visited several musical instrument museums, mostly in big cities. This one in tiny Hell-Bourg is the best: a wonderful collection of instruments (from India, Madagascar, the Middle East and elsewhere) beautifully displayed with fantastic recordings of them on the portable audio system. Hell-Bourg village is worth visiting anyway - an attractive village in a stunning location - but I'd say this museum makes it a must-do for anyone visiting Réunion.

La Cite du Volcan

Reviewed By JUSTINE-JESSE - Pretoria, South Africa

A very modern and informative museum display covering all aspects of volcanoes on Réunion. It’s a pity that information and titles are only in French and that we were forced to get audio help at extra cost to get any real value. Tourism should be accessible by more than one language group. Non of the staff could help in any other language. A Long trip but worthwhile for the information gained.
