Grand Galet Falls, also known as Cascade de Langevin, is a stunning multi-tiered waterfall located near Saint-Joseph in southern Réunion Island. Its waters cascade down a lush, rocky cliff, creating a dramatic wall of greenery and mist. Fed by the Langevin River, which originates at an altitude of 2,200 meters near Piton de Chisny, the falls are particularly impressive after rainfall when the flow intensifies. Visitors can enjoy the serene pools for a refreshing swim, explore smaller cascades upstream, or experience adventure sports like canyoning and ziplining. Easily accessible by car, the falls are a popular destination, especially on weekends, and provide a perfect spot to enjoy the island's natural beauty.

Difficult access by car, very narrow and steep road, strong traffic.Nice waterfall but not worth the dramatic Journey. Much better is to stay Down the valley and refresh oneself in the water

A real great place to visit. Impressive falls! Bring time and shoes to walk down the canyon for more as impressive locations.

This waterfall is a must if you visit the Reunion Island. It was breathtaking and the nature around it was incredible. It is always pretty crowded because it is very famous. It is very very steep to get there.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls on Réunion Island and very easy to reach (The lookout is right next to a narrow and curvy road). There is no admission fee, so it can get busy on holidays and weekends. If you are adventurous enough, some companies in the area offer rappelling tours.

Amazing waterfall, probably the nicest on the island. You'll get there by car but be careful the last 10 minutes are quite tricky and can be dangerous with multiple hairpins on very steep roads. At the top, there are not many spots to park and it gets crowded on the weekends. It isn't recommended to swim directly at the waterfall but go a little further down where it's a bit calmer and you'll be fine! Highly recommended!
