The climate on Réunion is tropical, with hot and humid summers and cooler winters.

Winter runs from June-September with highs and lows ranging from 18 to 25. Summer runs from December to March with temperatures up to 30.

The Eastern Coast is much more rainy than the Western Coast, which is relatively dry.

For travellers, Réunion is relatively safe. Some petty crime such as robbery does occur. Lock up your precious belongings at all times.

While you are swimming, beware of riptides and dangerous currents. Also, try to swim in lagoons or protected areas—there have been a series of shark attacks in the past few years.

Local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime if a crime should be committed against you.

Although an active volcano may not seem like an ideal tourist destination, the volcano on Réunion, Piton de la Fournaise, is the island’s most popular natural attraction.

Piton de la Fournaise is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, with its last eruption occurring in 2017. Located in Bellecome Pass, tourists can walk up a stairway that leads to the caldera floor.

If you are planning to visit Piton de la Fournaise on ground, you should be in good physical conditions and wear hiking boots.

Another way to see Piton de la Fournaise is by helicopter.

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to the Réunion:

• Lightweight clothing like a jumper or jacket
• Swimsuit
• Sunblock, hat, and sunnies to protect yourself against the sun whilst you’re at the seaside.
• Hiking or walking shoes

If you are in Réunion and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.
