Canyoning

Canyoning in Guadeloupe takes you down the island's rivers and ravines, where the volcanic terrain forms narrow gorges, natural pools and waterfalls. The activity is concentrated in the greener, wetter parts of the archipelago, and the listings gathered here cover 12 published providers spread across five communes: Bouillante, Saint-Claude, Vieux-Habitants, Morne-à-l'Eau and Les Abymes.

Bouillante and Saint-Claude sit close to the slopes of the Basse-Terre massif, an area of dense forest and flowing water where canyoning routes are commonly run. Vieux-Habitants, on the same western coast, also appears among the communes represented. The listings for Morne-à-l'Eau and Les Abymes show that canyoning providers are not limited to a single corner of the island, even though the terrain differs from the mountainous interior.

Each entry in this sub-section of the Loisirs directory gives you the practical details of a local operator, so you can compare the options on offer and choose a course that matches your level and the kind of descent you are looking for. Whether you are new to the sport or already familiar with rope work and water, the providers listed here are the starting point for planning a canyoning outing during your stay in Guadeloupe.
