Private Full Day Trip to the Volcano Piton de la Fournaise with Pick-up

About the Activity

What to Expect

Enjoy the raw nature of Reunion Island on this private full day trip to the Volcano Piton de la Fournaise with pick-up. The driver will pick you up at your hotel or residence to start this memorable and unmissable day. You will start by crossing Saint Pierre and Le Tampon, then pass by the small rural village of Bourg Murat as we make our way up to the volcano. Enjoy the scenic ride in a comfortable van, equipped with air conditioning.

Your first break will be at the Nez de Bœuf to admire the magnificent panoramas of the Rivière des Remparts and the Cafres plain. Next, we will stop at the Commerson Crater, an ancient explosive crater dating back 2000 years, with a belvedere overlooking the void at 235 meters, offering a breathtaking natural scene. We then continue our journey to arrive in the magnificent Sand Plain, a volcanic desert thousands of years old, where you can set foot in a unique terrestrial place that resembles a Martian landscape.

At Pas de Bellecombe, 2632 meters above sea level, the last place accessible by car, you have the option to go on the Formica Léo hike, a 1.5-hour hike to reach the Formica Léo crater at the bottom of the cliffs. After enjoying the view at the top, you have the opportunity to visit a restaurant to eat a typical Creole meal. Finally, you will visit the Volcano Museum. Both instructive and fun, the museum reveals all the volcanic secrets of Reunion Island. We then head back to your hotel or accommodation. This offer is ideal for nature lovers and adventure seekers looking to explore the unique volcanic landscapes of Reunion Island.
