A family adventure,
an island we love

CazBlueBirds is the story of a family that fell in love with Reunion Island and takes pleasure in sharing it, safely and with a warm welcome.

The founder

Alexis Rouyer

After 22 years in the Gendarmerie — notably as a diver and boat pilot — I chose to change careers to fully live my passion: Reunion Island. Whether on land or at sea, the island holds few secrets from me anymore.

A runner and hiker, I’m a finisher of the 2019 Grand Raid, the legendary Diagonale des Fous. That knowledge of the terrain I now put at our visitors’ service, to let them experience the island differently — at the right pace, in the right places, safely.

“Every tour has its story.”

Where does the name come from?

CazBlueBirds

C·A·AThe initials of Christiane, Adam and Alexis — the family.
ZFor Zenfulness, our way of travelling.
♫Blue Birds — they’re everywhere on Reunion Island, including the beautiful blue bird, the “Zoizeau la Vierge”.

A name that’s truly us: a family story, an island full of life, and the wish to share both with you.

A commitment that matters

Protecting whales & cetaceans

Every year, mainly from July to September, Alexis takes part in occasional missions to protect the whales and cetaceans of Reunion Island.

A commitment born of his former career: he helped put in place the prefectoral decree governing the protection of these animals. A cause very close to his heart.

Watching season: July – September
