Aquatic hiking is one of the best activities to do in Reunion Island, particularly in the rivers on the east coast. Much easier than canyoning, it is one of the best ways to discover white water and learn about river safety while having fun, and it is available to anyone aged 8 and over who can swim. This refreshing adventure is open to beginners and experts alike, so you are sure to have a great time with family and friends alike! The Rando aqua Reunion team will be delighted to show you how to go aquatic hiking in the Rivière des Roches from the Bassin la Paix, a not-to-be-missed spot in Saint-Benoît.
Supervised by a BPJEPS (professional qualification in youth, popular education and sport) or state-certified instructor, your group will have the pleasure of spending around 2 hours in the river, between jumps and natural slides. You will practise in complete safety, thanks to the appropriate safety equipment provided (wetsuit, helmet and life jacket), ready to face the 2 compulsory jumps that await you (maximum height 1m50), and maybe even the other higher but optional jumps (up to 12 metres)! Your instructor will be there to guide you and help you if you need it throughout the aquatic hike in the Rivière des Roches, ensuring you have an adventure perfectly suited to your level and your desires. What's more, at the end of the trip, he will suggest that you share an aperitif, so you can finish the activity on a high note!
Less than an hour's drive from Saint-Denis, the Bassin la Paix is a site of interest not to be missed in Saint-Benoît, on Reunion Island's east coast. So if you have got the chance to take a trip there and fancy rounding off your visit with a fun and refreshing experience, be sure to take part in this aquatic hike in the Rivière des Roches!
