Réunion Island Adventure

Réunion Island, a French gem in the Indian Ocean, packs towering volcanic peaks, dense rainforests, and rugged coastlines into one compact paradise. Adventurers return to hike the remote trails of Mafate, Cilaos, and Salazie or witness the active Piton de la Fournaise volcano in action. Beyond epic scenery, the island offers canyoning, paragliding, snorkeling, and hidden waterfalls, while its unique Creole culture shines in food, music, and local traditions. Off‑the-beaten-path landscapes make Réunion a true reward for explorers seeking unforgettable adventures

The Azores: Portugal’s Wild Atlantic Islands at the Edge of Europe

The Azores sit roughly halfway between Lisbon and New York, rising from the mid-Atlantic in nine volcanic islands scattered across 600 kilometres of open ocean. They are part of Portugal, though they feel like a world entirely their own. There are no long beaches lined with sun loungers here. Instead, you find calderas filled with electric-blue lakes, pastures so green they look painted, and thermal springs where you can soak in mineral-rich water that has been heating underground for centuries

Around the World

A Volcano Adventure

Rising from the Indian Ocean like a mythic creature, Réunion Island is a land forged by fire. This French overseas department is home to Piton de la Fournaise, one of the world’s most active volcanoes

Snorkeling in Réunion Island

Reunion Island is a relatively young island, where coral reefs are not well developed. In the absence of islets or offshore reefs, snorkeling is mostly found in the coastal lagoons, protected by a coral reef, and on a few rare spots open to the ocean

Helicopters in Reunion Island

Flying around the island in a helicopter remains a must in tourist activities. Thanks to its incredible flight capabilities, this helicopter tour of Reunion Island will take you to the heart of breathtaking landscapes, waterfalls, tropical forests, lagoons, coral reefs, cirques and volcanoes

The Turtle Garden

Le Jardin des Tortues is a charming wildlife garden and animal park located in Les Avirons on Réunion Island, where visitors can discover more than 400 tortoises and turtles from around the world in a lush garden setting

Dolphin and Whale Watching

Off the coast of Réunion Island, the clear Indian Ocean waters offer unforgettable encounters with marine life, including playful pantropical spotted dolphins year‑round and majestic humpback whales during the southern winter from June to October

Morocco’s Imperial Route in Twelve Days

Step off the plane in Marrakech and the air hits you — warm, dry, threaded with wood smoke and orange blossom. The light is different here. It falls thick and golden across terracotta walls, turning every alleyway into something a painter would struggle to invent. This is a country that has been receiving travellers for a thousand years, and it knows how to hold your attention

Into Orbit

WATCH: Artemis II astronauts splash down on Earth

After a nearly 10-day journey that took the Artemis II astronauts around the moon, in front of an eclipse and farther away from Earth than any humans before them, the crew of four have made a dramatic return home

The Chip That Could Survive Venus

Every electronic device you have ever owned shares a critical weakness. Push it past roughly 200 degrees Celsius and it begins to fail. Your phone, your car's computer, the satellites orbiting above your head right now
