The itinerary

Why this trip works

This itinerary combines beaches and coastal time, adventure, natural landscapes, and switching off across Réunion and Mauritius. Bringing the stops together gives the holiday a clearer progression and makes better use of the outward journey than booking each place separately.

How flexible is it? This itinerary can credibly be planned with a balanced to very active daytime pace, serene to quiet evenings and off-beat to popular crowd settings within its fixed route. The typical version has active days, quiet evenings and a mixed setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.

Best time to go

The strongest travel period is May to June and September to November. April and July to August are good quieter alternatives. Getting around is mainly by internal flights.
