Saint-Paul Bus Station → Saint-Gilles-les-Bains (coastal route)
💡 Use this bus to reach beaches and restaurants along the lagoon – get off at 'Boucan Canot' for the best snorkelling. The bus runs late only on Friday and Saturday evenings in summer.
Roland Garros Airport (RUN) → Saint-Paul Bus Station
💡 Buy a rechargeable 'Pass' card at the airport boutique for €2 – single tickets cost the same but the pass works on all Reunion buses. From Saint-Paul station, walk or take a taxi 3 km up to the gîte; the station taxi rank is cheap during daytime.
Roland Garros Airport (RUN) → Gîte Expedit Orchidée Sauvage, Saint-Paul
💡 Book a fixed-price taxi at the airport kiosk inside arrivals to avoid haggling. Ask the driver to take the coastal N1 route for sea views, not the inland N2 tunnel road.
Saint-Paul town centre → Gîte Expedit Orchidée Sauvage (hillside)
💡 Download the 'Taxi Réunion' app to book – short rides in town are metered and reasonable, but confirm the fare before starting if going uphill to the gîte.
