Reunion is small but hilly; renting a car is the fastest way to move between towns. Intercity buses link Saint-Denis, Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul but run less often on weekends. From Roland Garros Airport, expect a 30–60 minute drive to most coastal towns. If you land late, prebook a transfer or check car rental hours to avoid waiting outside the terminal.

Saint-Denis and Saint-Gilles host most hotels and guesthouses. For budget stays, look for pensions and self-catering gîtes in smaller towns; they often include kitchen access and let you stretch travel costs. Book well ahead if you travel during local holidays or festival weekends to lock in lower Reunion airfare deals.

Reunion is generally safe, but watch for petty theft in crowded areas and on beaches. Avoid leaving valuables unattended in cars. Use well-lit taxi ranks at night and confirm fares or use a metered ride. If a deal seems too good—especially with local drivers or unofficial guides—double-check before paying.

People on Reunion are warm and multilingual (French and Reunion Creole). Greet with a simple bonjour and be polite when entering shops or markets. Dress is casual on the coast but smart-casual may be expected in restaurants in Saint-Denis. Respect rural rhythms—some services close on Sundays.

If you want last minute flights to Reunion, have a flexible schedule and shortlist nearby airports to compare for better Reunion Island travel costs.

Pack light layers for altitude changes and sturdy shoes for hikes. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, a small medical kit, and a universal plug adapter for French sockets. If you travel from Brazil, keep digital copies of travel documents and print one set for customs.
