Discover Niagara Falls in Sainte-Suzanne

Accessing Niagara Falls by car:

Finding Niagara Falls is very easy: take the N2002 towards Sainte-Suzanne, follow the main road until the waterfall sign (on the right from Sainte-Suzanne town center, on the left from Saint-André). Go under the national highway and take the first right toward Niagara Falls.

Alternatively, from the national highway, take the Renaissance exit. Then take the first right at the roundabout, then right again toward Marancourt and follow the signs through the sugar cane fields.

Niagara Falls in Sainte-Suzanne, a natural masterpiece:

The Niagara Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls on La Réunion Island. It takes its name from its resemblance to the famous Niagara Falls.

Niagara is the iconic waterfall of La Réunion Island, located about 2 kilometers from the center of Sainte-Suzanne, at an altitude of 100 meters. Niagara Falls is situated in a quiet, green area in the middle of sugar cane fields, with an easily accessible path that is fully paved right up to the riverbank.

Formed by the waters of the Sainte-Suzanne River at a height of 25 meters, the waterfall offers spectacular views and drops into a large pool for swimming or canoeing.

It is a popular spot for canyoning enthusiasts.

During the rainy season, especially during cyclones, the waterfall can reach impressive flow rates that justify its name. Be careful as it can become dangerous, and like all other waterfalls on the island at that particular time, the current is very strong.

In contrast, during the winter, its flow is significantly reduced, sometimes disappearing completely.

It has been the subject of several audiovisual productions filmed on-site, notably in the TV movie “Les Secrets du volcan.”
