Entering the caves and lava tubes formed by the recent eruptions, cooled down, one travels almost 2 km under the lava, passing several times in the open air. The route "20 000 leagues under the lava" has even been broadcast on the national news. A must-see!

He offers discovery tours, accessible to all aged 6 and over, as well as sporting and unusual tours (wine tasting or meditation underground).
ENVERGURE RÉUNION
Read moreThis provider takes you to explore lava tunnels, such as the Blue Basin tunnel located at the artisanal village of L'Éperon in the west of the island. After a short climb, you will observe endemic birds nesting here, and discover large rooms with walls covered with magnesite crystals. Two routes are possible: a long crossing of 2.5 km (4-5h), to the less frequented parts of the tunnel, or the discovery (3h) of the narrowest passage (10 m on your knees) where you will learn how lava tunnels are formed.
