Transparent kayaking in Reunion Island

Kayaking is a very popular activity, both in mainland France and in the overseas territories. Used on rivers as well as at sea, it is one of the most appreciated and easiest-to-learn water sports. Additionally, in recent years, it has been enhanced with a new feature: the transparent hull! This allows you to observe marine life from the boat, a significant advantage when exploring the coral reefs of Reunion Island, which are home to a variety of colorful creatures.

Where to go kayaking in Reunion Island?

Like most water activities in Reunion Island, kayaking is done in the lagoon on the west coast of the island. It is an alternative to traditional snorkeling and allows you to observe the multitude of tropical fish and the splendid corals that inhabit Reunion's seabed. Since it is a protected ecosystem, kayaking is highly encouraged here. It is a non-polluting activity (unlike jet skiing, which is prohibited). Additionally, kayaking allows you to venture further from the beach than you could with just a pair of fins and a snorkel, unless you are a true adventurer!

Kayaking in Reunion Island: What is the risk from sharks?

If you're worried about kayaking in Reunion Island due to the presence of sharks, rest assured. The lagoon is perfectly protected by a thick coral barrier. Additionally, the water depth is not sufficient to allow sharks to thrive. This is one of the main swimming areas on the island, with no recorded shark attacks. In other words, you can freely kayak in the lagoon without stress. Furthermore, tours can be guided, which is sometimes very useful for managing currents, despite the calm waters.

How does a transparent kayak excursion in Reunion Island unfold?

Educational tours in transparent kayaks and guided sea excursions are organized from Saline-les-Bains, Hermitage Beach, or Trou d’Eau Beach. These allow you to discover the marvelous underwater world of Reunion Island without even getting wet or disturbing the marine species just beneath your feet. Ecological and fun, this activity offers many advantages! Various tours are available, ranging from half an hour to an hour. It is also possible to rent a kayak independently. In this case, the cost ranges from €12 to €20 depending on the duration. The guided excursion, however, is more expensive, costing around €40 per person. At this price, you will benefit from perfect supervision and numerous explanations about the marine activity in Reunion Island.
