holidays in zanzibar island for weddings and honeymoons.

The Interior Reunion’s rugged interior is formed by Salazies Mountain – an extinct volcano – in the west and the Grand Brule Mountain in the east, where visitors will find the island’s still-active volcano, the Piton de la Fournaise. The interior’s highest point is Le Piton des Nieges, standing a majestic 3,069 meters tall. The island’s three cirques, however, dominate the topography of the interior portion of Reunion. Often described as “natural amphitheatres” or “calderas”, a cirque – literally a volcano that collapsed upon itself - offers not only amazing photo opportunities but fun and adventure as well. But the interior of Reunion is much more than just lava-covered mountains and ancient crumbling craters. On this volcanic island, guests will find amazing lush, green forests like the Bebour-Belouve, where you’ll view birds that you’d be hard-pressed to see anywhere else in the world. Waterfalls are abundant and spectacular as well, literally trickling in the dry months but offering crushing flows during the rainy season, when monsoons are a natural occurrence. You might even stumble upon a dairy farm or two while exploring Reunion’s varied interior.

Coastline Due to its more manageable and people-friendly terrain, the coastal lowlands of Reunion Island are where cities and villages have sprung up throughout the centuries, since the time the French settled on the island in 1642. The west coast towns offer warm, relaxing bea ches as well as plenty of opportunity for enticing watersports. The lively town of St-Gilles-les-Bains attracts scuba divers with its nearby coral reefs and St Leu is the perfect location for avid surfers. Pretty St Paul boasts a fun outdoor street market and lots of traditional Creole houses for guests to admire. The northernmost coastal capital city of St Denis is really a mecca for tourists, but often overlooked in favor of the beaches or mountains. You’ll find interesting island architecture on a tour of this friendly city as well as art galleries, beautiful gardens, and the island’s best variety of restaurants, ranging from formal sit-down establishments to island take-out joints, where you can grab some quick Creole finger foods to enjoy during your downtown stroll.
