In Guadeloupe, our canyoning routes are ranked into 4 difficulty levels, from the most accessible to the most demanding. This ranking helps you choose the trip best suited to your fitness and experience. For the full details of the criteria, see our dedicated route levels page.
Green level: introduction
An activity focused on discovering the canyon, ideal for families with young children. The routes are adapted in length and difficulty to suit the physical needs of the youngest participants, while aiming for maximum enjoyment. This is the level of our aqua-hiking trips and our family trips, such as in Bouillante or Gourbeyre.
Blue level: discovery
The broad discovery product of canyoning. It satisfies a wide range of people, sporty or not. The choice of site and group composition often allow the guide to adapt the route to everyone’s expectations. This is the level of our trips in Bouillante (Bourseau), Deshaies and Gourbeyre.
Red level: sport
Aimed primarily at people who already have some, even basic, knowledge of canyoning. More demanding physically and technically than the blue level, it lets practitioners rediscover the activity from its most technical angle, and the guide to share richer content, moving towards greater autonomy. This is the level of our trips in Saint-Claude and Bouillante.
Black level: expert
Aimed at experienced practitioners, these activities are most often large-scale routes combining technical and physical difficulty, with a strong dose of commitment. A story for passionate athletes.
