Cần Quan Tâm

Let's share the geological history of the island in the mineral universe of one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The hike begins with a descent into the "enclosure" then we will walk through the lava flows to reach the base of the main cone and start the ascent to the summit crater. In the event of an eruption in the enclosure, it is closed by prefectural order. Our specialists will then offer you a route off the beaten track in the Plaine des Sables to catch a glimpse of the current eruption or to discover past eruptions and the history of the volcano. Children: We evolve throughout the course at more than 2000 m altitude, so it can be very cold at the volcano and the weather conditions can change very quickly (rain, fog, wind...). Finally, the terrain is very steep and the lava very sharp in the event of a fall. Recommended minimum age: 12 years old. For any child under 12, please contact us for more information. We cannot accept minors under the age of 18 unaccompanied by an adult. A good understanding of French is necessary to participate in this activity.

Our guide Thierry made the experience very pleasant. Very con Aïssa not only from the place but from the island, it gave us a lot of information. He also guided us off path and knew how to adjust the path according to the weather and thus offer us several pleasant views including that of the crater. Being also farther from the walker mass, we had a more exclusive and very pleasant experience. We highly recommend Thierry as a guide for this walk, it adds a lot of value to the experience.

a breathtaking view you will never forget. The guide Emmanuel is very professional and expressed us so many interesting things regarding La reunion and the volcano. Definitely a must-do while you are on the island.
Toilet paper and good French is an advantage

We really wanted to do the long tour to the volcano, but unfortunately it was only available in French. We were lucky and a friendly couple knew English and translated the most important information for us. Our mountain guide seemed very competent and if he spoke, you could recover well. The Sanck was limited to a thumb-sized piece of cake and unfortunately seemed very alibious. Sanitary facilities are in poor condition at the present time. It's best to take toilet paper with you when we got there. Five new toilets have already been built, but unfortunately were not yet in operation - maybe you are lucky. Probably this is also the reason why you encounter so many snippets of paper on the way to the volcano summit. We can clearly recommend the hike despite the criticisms, had a good time and were able to take great photos. Special thanks to Alice&Alex😘
Excellent!!

It was really an amazing experience to be able to hike on this volcano! We started in the morning in the fog and drizzle giving the landscape a ghostly look, then the weather gradually improved as we discovered the wonderful landscape that surrounded us with beautiful rainbows finally we had the chance to see the main crater in its entirety during a beautiful thinning. Another big thank you to our escort Guillaume for his professionalism, knowledge and kindness.

Extraordinary, not easy hike but worth it once you arrive at the crater, arrived before 10 a.m. because after the clouds arrive quickly. Bring good shoes, cap, sun cream and water +++

Fabulous, a landscape that took your breath away, the weather was not good at the start and then it was invited during the hike. A hell of a spectacle offered to us by Mother Nature. The guide was very professional, he taught us lots of things about volcanoes. And when the sun arrived we could see all these beautiful colors that the volcanoes offer us. I highly recommend.
