Although Reunion is an island in the Indian Ocean, its people is somewhat not naturally turned towards the sea. That has not stopped some enthusiasts to offer peaceful sea excursions on cruising catamarans, glass bottom boat, comfortable motorboats or even an old traditional fishing boat ...
Another way of contemplating Reunion from afar.

If you decide to go out at sea, you can choose among several options :
Boat trips with a skipper
- Scuba diving repels you?
You can still admire the coral beds and their myriad of colorful fish if you go aboard a motor boat, usually with a glass bottom boat. The smaller boats are equipped with a Plexiglas bubble under their hull, which allows passengers (maximum 5) to observe the seabed off the coast of Saint Gilles or Saint Leu for thirty minutes. The larger boats offer the same sight but go further to the bay of Saint Paul and off the Boucan Canot beach. You may come across some dolphins, and you might even meet whales ... Anyhow, a trip with lunch or "cocktails at sunset" at sea is very nice and highly recommended!
