8. You can paraglide above Reunion island

On Reunion island, paragliding won’t just give travelers a birds-eye-view of the island’s crystal clear waters and coral reef. It will also leave you feeling like a bird as you gently glide along the coast. Unfortunately, it’s a pricey 75 euros for 15-20 minutes of smooth sailing, but if you’ve got your heart set on it, both Black Air Parapente and Parapente Reunion will set you up to soar.
