Kayaking / Stand-up paddleboarding
Paddle across the turquoise waters of the lagoon or on inland lakes.
Sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) let you explore Réunion at a gentle pace, right at water level. On the west coast, in the sheltered waters of the lagoon, you glide peacefully among fish and coral.
Grand Étang, a volcanic lake tucked away in the uplands above Saint-Benoît, offers a completely different experience: total calm, lush forest all around and clouds reflected on the surface.
Rentals are available in several towns. Guided trips are also run to explore the coast or supervised stretches of water.
Why do it
A unique way to get close to marine life, paddling silently near turtles, or to admire the volcanic cliffs from the sea.
What to expect
No previous experience needed for SUP or leisure kayaking. Some coastal routes require experience at sea.
Who it’s for
Open to everyone. Children must be supervised.
