Paragliding
Paraglide over volcanic landscapes and the lagoon.
Réunion is one of the most renowned paragliding destinations in the world. The island’s extraordinary terrain — cirques (natural amphitheatres), ramparts (cliff walls) and coastline — creates spectacular flying conditions. The Piton Maïdo site and the take-off points above Saint-Paul offer memorable flights with views over the lagoon and the cirques.
Tandem flights are run by qualified instructors and require no previous experience. Experienced pilots will find conditions to fly independently under supervision.
Why do it
Flying over Réunion by paraglider lets you take in the whole island at a glance: volcanoes, forests, lagoon and coast — a perspective impossible from the ground.
What to expect
A tandem flight usually lasts between 20 minutes and 1h30 depending on conditions. The instructor handles everything: take-off, flying and landing.
Who it’s for
Tandem flights are open to almost everyone. Some medical conditions may rule you out. Weight limits and conditions may vary between providers.
Practical tips
Wear closed shoes. Avoid a heavy meal before flying. Bring a warm jacket for the altitude.
