FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
AVANT DE RESERVER VORTE VISITE
In the interests of quality and environmental conservation, I try not to take more than eight people in a group to explore a lava tunnel.
However, an outing is only valid for groups of four or more people. However, if you would like to organise an outing for a larger group, please contact us and we will be happy to suggest solutions.
The tours are suitable for children aged 6 and over. However, it all depends on their abilities, as each child's mobility is different. If you have any doubts about your child's ability, please do not hesitate to contact us.
You need to be in good physical condition, with a minimum of balance and the ability to bend down and even progress on all fours. However, if you can't bend down or progress on all fours, you can always choose the easier sections.
If you are claustrophobic, you may not be able to stand being in an underground cavity.
Visiting the Sainte-Rose lava tunnel (Coulée 2004) is safe in wet weather. Due to the porosity and natural fractures of the volcanic rock, rainwater passes through the ceiling of the tunnel and drains away through the floor, without causing flooding. However, this means that you won't be safe from rain inside the tunnel, so if it does rain, expect to get wet. So it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes and rain gear.
Road access can become dangerous in bad weather, and the activity may be cancelled in the event of a heavy rain warning issued by Météo-France for safety reasons.
The other lava tunnels may be vulnerable to rising water levels. Access to the Gendarme cave is via a gully that is subject to rising water levels, so this exit may also be cancelled if there is a risk of heavy rain.
Weather forecasts are updated at around 5pm for the following day and at 7am on the day itself. It is important to remain contactable in the 48 hours prior to the outing. We will let you know if the tour has to be changed or cancelled.
During busy periods (July-August), don't hesitate to contact us as soon as you book your trip to Réunion. The sooner the better!
