If you’re a fan of Humpback whales, then take off to Reunion Island where these gentle giants, come from the far south to give birth and raise their young, typically between June and October.  This unique island may not be as well known as nearby Mauritius or the not too far Seychelles, but this small island is worth a visit as it offers you, the traveler, everything from welcoming beaches and lots of mountains which offer endless activities such as hiking, canyoning, scuba diving and much more.
