About Reunion Island Escape

Reunion Island Escape is an independent travel resource dedicated to helping you plan excursions across Reunion Island, from the cirques of Cilaos, Salazie and Mafate to the Piton de la Fournaise volcano, and the day trips to Saint-Denis and the west coast lagoon that make sense from a Saint-Gilles-les-Bains base.

What we do

We create in-depth, regularly updated travel guides covering Reunion Island — the cirques of Cilaos, Salazie and Mafate, the Piton de la Fournaise volcano, the west coast lagoon around Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Leu, and Saint-Denis and Saint-Pierre — the excursions worth booking, realistic travel times, ticketing and reservation systems, and practical planning advice for getting around Reunion Island and its surroundings. Every article is researched thoroughly and written to give you genuine, useful advice — not generic filler content.

How we earn

Reunion Island Escape is funded through affiliate partnerships, primarily with GetYourGuide and Viator. When you book a tour or activity through one of our links, we earn a small commission at absolutely no extra cost to you. This income allows us to keep the site running, create new content, and maintain existing guides.

Our affiliate partnerships never influence our recommendations. We suggest activities and tours that we genuinely believe provide good value, regardless of commission rates.

Editorial independence

We are not sponsored by any tourism board, hotel chain, or tour operator. Our recommendations are entirely independent. If something is overpriced, overhyped, or not worth the trip, we will say so.
