If you’re after something a bit different on your winter trip to La Réunion, this off-road Segway tour through Étang-Salé les Hauts gives you a low-effort, high-fun way to explore the island’s dry forest zone. It’s especially good if you’ve been doing a lot of hiking and want to give your legs a break — without skipping out on the scenery.
The route follows red dirt paths and forest trails used mostly by locals on foot or mountain bikes. You’ll pass through shady filaos trees, over volcanic soil, and past open clearings with views toward the coast. The guide keeps it relaxed but informative — you’ll get a quick intro on how to steer the all-terrain Segway, then roll through some gentle slopes, tight bends, and open sections with a bit more speed if you want.
Don’t expect big wow moments — this one’s more about quiet nature, easy pace, and a fresh way to see a part of the island you’d probably skip otherwise. It’s especially good for teens or anyone who prefers minimal physical effort but still wants to feel like they’ve “done something.”
