Island Holiday Package
Arrive at the St. Denis International airport. Our representatives will welcome and transfer you to St Gilles on the west coast of Reunion Islands. Check into your hotel and orient yourself with the city.
Post breakfast, head for St Leu, a fisherman village and visit Kalonia. Explore the turtle study center before heading back to St. Gilles. Embark on a sunset cruise and witness the beauty of the small island.
Travel to the heart of the Island today, to Salazie. You cross the capital city of St. Denis in the North en route where you can see old Creole houses dating to the East India Trade Company period and the metropolitan atmosphere with its bourgeois charm. After passing by some Hindu temples, you reach Slazie, which is a succession of landscapes, situated 1000m above sea level. The area is full of natural beauty including waterfalls, lush green forests and lapping waves. You get panoramic views of the Reunion Island from here. Return back to your hotel in St Gilles for the night.
Post breakfast, journey south to the city of St. Pierre. Begin the ascend to Plaine des Cafres plateaus and to la Grande Ferme. This belt of 22km has sudden transitions from coastal scenery to cliffs with geographical surprises all along as you reach a height of 2260m. The Commerson Crater is a natural amphitheatre which continues to astound geologists. Continue to La Plaine des Sables, which is equivalent to a heavenly abode, truly indescribable. Le Pas de Bellecombe and Le Bory Volcanos display more than 60 craters at a height of 2650m. Visit the City of Volcano Museum followed by the distillery La saga du Rhum before heading back to your hotel.
From sea level, you ascend to an altitude of 2200m over 27kms. The landscape changes as one goes along the ascent: villages, acacias forest, geranium fields, typical forest of tamarinds and finally the edge of Mafate Cirque. All of Reunion Island and the Indian Ocean summit is below you, presenting an endowing array of splendor.
Visit St. Paul market and Stroll about its colourful aisles through Martin hot pepper, baskets of bitter Margoze, Pitaya crates, delicious Qunquat cardboard boxes, naïve malagasy embroideries, home cooked meats, hats and bags hand-woven in Vacoa.
