Horse riding at the Piton de la Fournaise volcano, Reunion Island

Set off on a memorable horseback adventure to the iconic Piton de la Fournaise volcano, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of La Réunion!

With The Grand Etang Equestrian Farm, you’ll explore one of the island’s most spectacular natural landmarks. Towering at 2,632 metres, Piton de la Fournaise is not only the most famous volcano on the island, but also one of the most active in the world. Located in the south-east of La Réunion and part of the island’s UNESCO-listed national park, it’s home to exceptional biodiversity and striking volcanic scenery.

This full-day horseback ride takes you through lush tropical forests and into volcanic terrain, with sweeping views of the Plaine des Sables - a vast, mineral plateau that offers a dramatic change of scenery on the way to the volcano. Designed for experienced riders comfortable at all gaits (walk, trot, and canter), this tour offers a unique way to experience the raw beauty of the island.

As you ride along the trails leading to the volcano, you'll cross the Plaine des Sables and enjoy an unforgettable moment immersed in the island’s wild and varied landscapes - all from the saddle.
