Details
In the southern Basse-Terre, near the Soufrière volcano and the Guadeloupe National Park: the frame is set, the excursion will be idyllic! And also thrilling: jumps and slides are waiting for you, as well as 5 abseils, one of which is 15m long. This canyoning tour is aquatic and offers some great fun. A very good choice for a day out with friends or with teenagers to have an amazing moment.Tour programme- Preparation:
We are waiting for you at 8:30 am at our base. Along with a cup of coffee, we will provide you with the equipment and recommend you to change at the base. That way, you will be able to leave your belongings safe while you're in the canyon. Waterproof bags are also at your disposal if you wish to bring glasses, camera and other things with you.
- Tour:
After a short drive with your own car, we reach the Plateau du Palmiste and start an approach walk to our beginning point on the river. Our 45-min walk will take us to the Bassin Bleu and further at the foot of the Soufrière volcano. We're finally there, let's not wait another second before we start. We have 3.5hrs ahead of us, 5 abseiling descents, jumping and sliding down rocks. Every obstacle can be bypassed or repeated, whatever you like. Our excursion will end in the Bassin Bleu, where we will stay a bit to relax and enjoy the turquoise waters.

Xavier was our very friendly, professional, and reassuring guide! We had a very pleasant time in a small group, traveling through the rainforest and along the river! The equipment was of pretty good quality!
