Round Trips in La Réunion

A round trip in La Réunion is the perfect way to uncover all the treasures of this volcanic island. With a rental car, you can easily explore the three cirques — Cilaos, Mafate and Salazie — each offering a distinct character and breathtaking scenery. From the rugged cliffs of Salazie to the impressive Piton des Neiges, the island’s highest peak, every bend in the road reveals a new panorama. Thanks to the island’s diverse microclimates, you travel through different worlds in a single journey — from lush rainforests and dramatic volcanic landscapes to tropical beaches, all within easy reach of one another.

Unique Accommodations

During your stay in La Réunion, you can choose from a range of charming and authentic accommodations that enhance your holiday experience. From cosy mountain gîtes to welcoming guesthouses where Creole hospitality takes centre stage, each stay has its own story. Particularly special are the cases créoles — traditional, colourful houses with distinctive architecture that offer a true island experience. Along the coast, comfortable resorts provide the perfect place to relax after a day full of adventure. Many accommodations serve delicious local dishes made with fresh island ingredients, allowing you to savour the island’s rich culinary heritage.

Journey to the Volcanoes

Volcanic landscapes form the beating heart of La Réunion, and a visit to Piton de la Fournaise, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, is an absolute must. Via the spectacular Route du Volcan, you drive through the moon-like scenery of Plaine des Sables to the edge of the crater. Early risers are rewarded with an unforgettable sunrise experience, as the morning light bathes the rugged rock formations in warm hues. Adventurous travellers can explore the crater with a guide and hike across solidified lava flows. The dormant Piton des Neiges also offers impressive hiking trails with panoramic views over the entire island and the Indian Ocean.

Car Rental in La Réunion

A rental car is essential for discovering the hidden gems of La Réunion. Well-maintained roads wind through mountainous landscapes and along dramatic coastlines, making every drive a scenic experience. Having your own car gives you the freedom to stop at panoramic viewpoints or unexpected waterfalls along the way. Thanks to its compact size, the island can easily be explored in a week, allowing you to travel from the western beaches to the volcanic south and the lush interior cirques with ease. It is advisable to choose a slightly more powerful vehicle due to the mountainous terrain and to book well in advance, especially during the peak season from July to August when French holidaymakers flock to the island.
