This private tour of the Sud Sauvage is one of the most relaxing, low-crowd ways to experience La Réunion’s wilder southern edge. It focuses on short walks, waterfalls, natural pools, and dramatic coastlines — without needing to hike for hours or dodge big tour groups.
You’ll be picked up at your accommodation, then head to Langevin Marine, where river and ocean meet — black rocks, foaming waves, and the island’s untamed energy on full display. From there, it’s a series of stops with short walks and photo breaks:
Jacqueline Waterfall – small, lush, and hidden in deep green vegetation
Trou Noir Waterfall – darker and moodier, with a cave-like plunge
Grand Galet / Langevin Falls – the big one: a fan of water cascading down volcanic walls
Bassin Jar – clear, calm river pool perfect for a swim or quiet break
Bassin Caché – “hidden basin,” harder to reach, worth the effort
Manapany Basin – natural seaside pool framed by coconut trees and waves crashing just beyond
There’s no major hiking involved, but you’ll need to be comfortable walking on wet, uneven terrain and willing to get your feet wet. Bring swimwear, snacks, water, and sunscreen. The guide provides transport, coffee/tea, and local tips — but not lunch, so plan ahead.
👉 Local tip: If you’re staying on the West Coast, make it an early start — the drive across the island is long but scenic.
