Piton de la Fournaise is one of the must-visit sites on any trip to Réunion Island. Rising to an altitude of 2,632 metres (8635ft), it is a volcano that is still active, and its surroundings offer some incredible scenery: the Plaine des Sables is a perfect example, with its reddish rocks and volcanic sand, which we strongly recommend crossing with an all-terrain vehicle such as a quad bike. The local staff will show you the easy route to the Pas de Bellecombe on a quad bike. This viewpoint of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano is the most visited natural site on Réunion Island, so it's a must for this quad bike tour of the Piton de la Fournaise.

The itinerary will give you the chance to cross the volcano's forest and the famous Plaine des Sables in complete autonomy.
