What to do and see in Reunion Island, Reunion Island: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
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.

Probably the best view over Mafate, the most wild Cirque of the Island. All the mountains surrounding the Piton des Neiges present to your eyes with their majesty. If the sky is limpid you will understand the geography of Mafate, with the trekking that bring there. Astonishing.

Ask about the weather beforehand. Rain can cause pebbles to fall on the road. We loved this excursion by car on the road to Cilaos. About 420 bends, the crossing of small villages and these majestic ramparts... This road is a bit difficult but it is quite typical. It's a magnificent, wonderful road with an exceptional spectacle that takes your eyes away.

For all friends of nature and plants this is a MUST visit! The name is maybe a bit deceiving because really this is a lush rain-forest type private garden of probably at least 1 hectar which you walk through on your own or with a guided tour (90 minutes, at 10:30 and 14:30). Not sure if only in french though. We walked by ourselves and taking our time (nearly 2 hours!) we saw so many astonishing plants and flowers. Loads of creepers and ferns on humungous trees, ferns galore, coffee and cacao trees amd a thousand more we don't even know. Just fabulous! Highly recommend it, but take your time!

observatoire tortues
Reviewed By Drisky92 - Leicester, United Kingdom
I lived on the island for 8 months and visited Kélonia multiple times - if I ever had visitors, it was one of the first places I took them. This isn't just an aquarium, it's a conservation centre, so yes, you get to see the adorable sea turtles, but you also get to learn so much through the information exhibits as well. Beautiful setting, good price and relaxed vibes. Brilliant for all ages.

"le domaine du café grillé" is mainly a ethno-botanical garden dealing with a time travel through all the history of Reunion island thanks to 900 plant species. In otherwords you start the visit in a modern and aesthetic creole garden commonly found nowdays, and the guide will bring you ,step by step, to the first endemic forests composed of amazing medicinal plants discovered in 1665. Meanwhile we will talk about the golden age of Reunion island.

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.
