  About Reunion Island: Located in the Southern Hemisphere, the island enjoys a tropical climate, tempered by the proximity of the Indian Ocean. The warmth and sunshine are present the whole year. Each region possesses its own microclimate. The seasons are "inverted" in comparison with the Northern Hemisphere. The coast of the island always holds a hot or mild temperature. The austral summer, from November to April, has an average temperature of 30°C! This is the hot and humid season. At altitude, the temperature can drop by ten degrees. This is the ideal period to indulge in diving or wild water activities such as canyoning. The austral winter from May to October is the cool season. At altitude, the temperature plummets significantly, while at the coast and especially the beach area (West), the water is still around 25°C. Note that as of June, and this for four months, one can behold the dance of the humpback whale near the coast of the island!
  Best time to visit Reunion: There is two distinct seasons exist, winter and summer, although the difference is rather tenuous: a little more rain and heat in the summer (October to April). These seasons are reversed with respect to Metropolitan France. The between-seasons (May and September) are particularly pleasant, neither too hot nor cold. They do not bring any significant change that could justify the title of "season".
  If you are trekking what time is best? The between-seasons (from May to June and from September to October) are especially recommended: it is not too hot, it is less likely to rain and it is possible to add a swim in the rivers to your hike or end the day at sea. Winter however (June-August), is also appropriate, provided that you bring wool for the cool nights.
  Best beaches on Reunion: They are situated along the length of the West Coast (from "Boucan-Canot" to Saint-Leu) and in the South (Saint-Pierre, Manapany,…).
  

  
  

  Best time for fishing: 

  • From January to March: best period to fish for marlin.
  • From April to May: big yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo, sailfish, shark, bonito, big marlins passing.
  • From June to August: shark, yellowfin tuna, dorado, bonito
  • From September to December: dorado, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, sailfish, shark, bonito, big marlins passing.
