Hiking Réunion

Juanito Boyer is a "marmaille la cours", you can hear a local child, who knows Saint-Philippe and its lava tunnels like the back of his hand. A mountain guide, he has been surveying these tunnels for several years and will make you discover exceptional sites. Bring long clothes (ideally jeans), closed shoes and water. Safety equipment is provided (gloves, helmet, headgear, knee pads). Don't forget to bring your camera to immortalize the magic of these dark, improbably shaped bowels.

The cultural service organizes guided tours in and around the city from 1 hour to half a day. We discover the covered market, the mosque, the Hindu culture, the big Creole villas... Torchlight lectures on the beach allow you to meet pirates and illustrious characters of the island. The schedule is variable. With affordable rates and guides approved by the Ministry of Culture, here's something to learn for cheap!

Mathieu and Clovis propose you to discover the city of Le Port through its town centre. Through the walk "In the footsteps of the pioneers of the desert", you will discover how this city was built, how the first port of Reunion Island came out of the ground and above all what role the advent of the railway played in Reunion Island. Your walk will end with a visit of the fairground market on the famous railwaymen's square. Go there with your eyes wide open!

Every Friday morning, the scouts of the West Tourist Office take you on a fascinating guided tour of the town centre of Saint-Paul, the cradle of Reunion Island's population. From the marine cemetery to the landing stage, via the Grotte du Peuplement (formerly the grotte des Premiers Français) or the gardens of the town hall, the historical sites and heritage of this town, which has been awarded the "Ville d'art et d'histoire" (City of Art and History) label, will hold no secrets for you!
