Tour
Experience the raw force of nature along Réunion’s untamed southern coast, driving across solidified lava fields where historic molten flows meet crashing ocean waves.
Trip duration
Full Day (approx. 5–7 hours)
Location
Sud Sauvage & Route des Laves, La Réunion
Experience type
Tour
Discover the untamed contrasts of southern Réunion on a relaxing yet visually striking coastal self-drive where dark volcanic basalt meets the pounding Indian Ocean.
Departing from the lively south coast of Saint-Pierre, travel past dramatic sea cliffs at Cap Méchant, where massive oceanic swells crash against jagged black rock beneath maritime casuarina trees.
Enter the "Route des Laves" between Saint-Philippe and Sainte-Rose, a remarkable stretch of highway that cuts directly through successive solidified lava flows from historic eruptions.
Observe how pioneer ferns and moss slowly reclaim the barren basalt, stop by the historic church of Notre-Dame-des-Laves, and enjoy a peaceful stroll amidst the palm groves and waterfalls of Anse des Cascades.
