Canyoning on Réunion Island
Canyoning (canyoneering) means descending a river by rappel, jumping and sliding, led by a professional. No experience needed for introductory routes.

Is it for me?
Trou Blanc (Salazie)
The ultimate water canyon: natural slides, pools, small rappels and a zipline in a playful setting.
- Able to swim and comfortable in water
- Good fitness (about 4 to 5 h of activity)
- Minimum height 1.45 m, minimum weight 30 kg
- Maximum weight: 120 kg
- No canyoning experience needed
- For younger participants: really wanting to go, not being pushed by their parents
- Jumps are always optional
Fleur Jaune (Cilaos)
The island’s great vertical classic: a series of rappels facing the cirque, including a 55 m one you go down like a giant slide, held by the rope.
- No fear of heights
- Able to swim (little swimming, but several pools to cross)
- Good fitness: the walk back up is steep and takes 45 minutes to 1 h 30
- Minimum height 1.45 m, minimum weight 40 kg
- Maximum weight: 120 kg
- No rappelling experience needed: you learn the technique on site
For all our canyons
- No medical contraindication to physical effort or cold water
- Minors must be accompanied by an adult
- The outing may be postponed or cancelled depending on the weather and water levels
