Why hire a qualified local guide ?

Réunion Island is a land of adventure!

This intense island is home to hundreds of hiking trails for all levels, from beginners to experts.

Weather is also an important factor to consider, as it can double hiking time or even make some trails impassable.

The trails are marked by the ONF (National Forestry Office), which also maintains them.

Hiring a qualified local guide means:

  • the assurance of hiking safely
  • to have an itinerary compatible with the weather of the day
  • be on a goal in line with your physical abilities
  • benefit from a biodiversity expert, who will help you discover the endemic fauna and flora of the island
  • listen to the anecdotes and stories that forged these mythical places: Mafate, Cilaos,…
  • enjoy unique routes, off-trail, far from the crowds, for an unforgettable experience
  • employ a passionate, independent worker who wishes to pass on the secrets of Intense Island
