Cool facts about Reunion Island

Posted on Sep 01, 2025 / Travel

Here are some fun things most people don’t know about Reunion Island:

Reunion has three massive natural amphitheaters called “cirques,” formed by ancient volcanoes, and they’re stunning for hiking.
It’s one of the only places in the world where you can go from a beach to a snowy mountain in the same day.
The island has both French bakeries and tropical street food stands, so you can grab a croissant and a samosa on the same block.
Whale watching is popular here, especially from June to October, when humpback whales pass by the island.
Even though it’s remote, Reunion Island has modern roads and infrastructure, including a crazy coastal highway built right over the ocean.
