Réunion's interior is mountainous, with the Piton des Neiges rising above 3,000 metres, so a fuel stop in La Plaine-des-Palmistes is useful before climbing further.
Réunion lies in the cyclone belt, and the cyclone season runs from November to April, so check conditions before a highland drive. The island has been a French overseas department since 1946 and uses the euro, which simplifies payment. Humpback whales visit Réunion's waters between June and September, along with dolphins and sea turtles, for anyone heading to the coast afterwards.
