Experience the natural beauty and stunning landscapes of Réunion on this self-drive tour. For travellers who prefer the freedom and flexibility of hiring a car exploring at your own pace, you'll just love Réunion. Driving is easy on this island (with the exception of some of the mountain roads into les Cirques), and it is small enough to scoot around most of the island in a week. The focus of this special interest trip is to get to know the lush and luxuriant flora of the island, its botanical gardens, beautiful flowers, stunning volcanic landscapes and enjoy some time on the coast.
For an even longer adventure and some pure relaxation why not consider extending your stay with a few days on the neighbouring island of Mauritius. White sand beaches, sunshine and warm waters - a perfect way to catch your breath after hiking all those volcanic trails...
