THE CIRQUES & THE VOLCANO FROM ABOVE
The helicopter dilemma: you're loath to add to noise and air pollution. But your heart is set on a bird's-eye view
of the magnificent Cirques and the volcano. While they aren't cheap (between €85 and €300, depending on the
duration of the tour), most travellers rate such a trip as a highlight of their visit to Réunion. Ultimately you'll go
with your gut (and budget). Contact

If you really want to feel the wind in your hair, several outfits offer tandem microlight flights with a qualified
instructor. They run about 10 different tours around the island, starting at €40 for a gentle tour above the lagoon.
Needless to say, all flights are dependent on the prevailing weather conditions. For more information, contact the
