Horse riding on Reunion Island is an activity that combines sport, leisure and exploration of volcanic landscapes. Thanks to the varied terrain and spectacular panoramas, horse riding is particularly popular, especially in the cirques of Cilaos and Mafate and on the slopes of Piton de la Fournaise.

Equestrian tourism is growing, driven by the island’s natural beauty. Between the sea, mountains and forests, Réunion offers a unique and exotic equestrian experience for our students, who have made it a favourite destination for the institute.
