Description
Explore Maïdo with Cazbluebirds: breathtaking views of Mafate, a scenic route, unspoiled nature, and an unforgettable local experience on Reunion Island.
Discover one of the most beautiful panoramas of Reunion Island with Cazbluebirds! This tour takes you to the summit of Maïdo, perched at an altitude of over 2,200 meters, for a breathtaking view of the Mafate Cirque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Only accessible on foot or by helicopter, this natural circus is one of the most isolated and preserved jewels of the island.
The road leading there winds through a magnificent forest of tamarind trees, typical of western Réunion. On the way, a snack break will let you savor the moment while breathing the fresh air of the heights.
After this high-altitude immersion, the day continues through the cultural and natural treasures of the west of the island. You'll have a choice of three unique experiences for the afternoon:
Dive into colonial history at the Villèle Museum, a former sugar plantation home emblematic of the slavery era.
A stroll through the heart of Reunion's biodiversity at the Mascarin Botanical Garden, home to hundreds of endemic species.
Or a moment of relaxation and discovery by the sea, between Cap Lahoussaye, the Grotte du Peuplement, and the Hermitage beach, perfect for a swim at the end of the day.
This complete tour mixes great landscapes, local culture, and freedom of choice, in a friendly and personalized atmosphere. Your guide, passionate about the island and its riches, will adapt the pace and stops to your desires, to make this day an authentic and memorable experience.
