Sport & Activities
Watersports: Good swimming and diving are to be found along the Sous le Vent coast, especially at Saint-Gilles-des-Bains, which has a reef-protected lagoon. On the more remote beaches, sharks may be a danger, so it is best to enquire locally. Surfing can be practised in Saint Gilles, Saint Paul and Saint Pierre. For information on the best beaches, see also the Resorts & Excursions section. Trout fishing is to be found at the Takamaka Falls.
Trekking and mountaineering: There are excellent walking opportunities in the mountains. The National Forestry Office has provided many sign-posted footpaths throughout the island. Good climbing is to be had among the volcanic peaks.
Island tours: One-day tours around the island with stopovers at various locations are available from local operators. Contact the Comité du Tourisme de la Réunion for details (see Contact Addresses section).
Spas: Rest cures are available in mountain resorts, such as Cilaos, which is a mountain spa.
