I was so happy to find Bureau Montagne Reunion and their organised day hikes! I did the Friday hike in Mafate with Sylvain and it was an awesome day out with beautiful views and lots of river crossings. Sylvain was a fabulous guide - kind and helpful and with a great sense of humour. I also appreciated that he spoke in English with me as my French is very limited. I really enjoyed this day and would highly recommend the Mafate hike. If I was staying longer, I would book another day hike with BMR too. Merci Sylvain! :)

It was my first adventure in Mafate and I really enjoyed hiking. Well organized, the guide was able to share his knowledge of the place, so it gave a fabulous experience. Thanks again.

Instructive and very interesting hike in the company of friendly guides who love Reunion Island, sharing their experience not only of this island but also of other places on the planet where they have lived before to get to know the Mafate cirque

Hiking with Vincent (the big one) who is great! Organization without any worries and magnificent hike! The place is magical and the walk is worry-free. Plan a picnic for the middle of the course :)

Bonjour, il est indiqué que l'activité dure 6h alors que sur un autre site vous avez indiqué pour la même activité 9h... Pourriez-vous m'indiquer la durée approximative svp ?
Combien doit-il y avoir d'inscrit au minimum pour que la randonnée se fasse ?
Je vous remercie

Pour ma part, nous avons fait une nuit à La Nouvelle, dans le cirque de Mafate. Pour l'aller, du col des boeufs à La Nouvelle, c'est plutôt facile car beaucoup de descente. Il faut compter 3h environ, sans forcer. Le retour est plus difficile, comptez 3h30 à 4h. Il ne faut pas se griller au départ, et partir sur un rythme pas trop élevé... Bonne ballade !!!

Bonjour est ce que la rando à Mafate est accessible facilement pour des personnes qui ne sont pas habituées à des randos en montagne ?

J’ai l’habitude de marcher sans dénivelé et là je dois avouer que ça n’a pas été facile...mais je garde un très beau souvenir. La randonnée fait 15 kms environ...
