Best Time to Visit Réunion
Réunion's dry season from May to November is the best time for hiking and beach visits. The wet season from December to April brings cyclone risk and heavy rain in the east and highlands. The western coast around Saint-Gilles-les-Bains stays drier year-round. Volcano hikes to Piton de la Fournaise are best in the dry season. Always download offline maps before entering the cirques.
