Hiking drop-off & pick-up in Reunion Island
The most beautiful hikes in Reunion Island are traverses: you enter by one trail and come out by another, sometimes in a different town. With a car, you have to double back. The solution: a driver who drops you at the start and picks you up at the finish, wherever you come out.
All the great hiking areas
- Mafate: Col des Bœufs, Sans Souci (Canalisation des Orangers), Deux Bras / Rivière des Galets, Maïdo, Dos d'Âne
- Cilaos and Salazie / Hell-Bourg: the cirques, Bélouve, Bébour forest
- Piton de la Fournaise: Pas de Bellecombe, the volcano
- Grand Bassin, Dimitile, Cap Noir: and every trailhead, GR R1 and GR R2
A classic Mafate itinerary: drop-off at Col des Bœufs, two or three days in the cirque (La Nouvelle, Marla, Roche-Plate…), exit at Sans Souci or Deux Bras where your driver is waiting. Zero car logistics, zero backtracking.

Practical tips
- Book BOTH the drop-off and the pick-up in advance: mobile coverage is almost non-existent in the cirques
- Allow a margin on your exit time; agree on a precise meeting point with the driver
