Looking to share an unforgettable experience with your children during your holiday in Guadeloupe? Family canyoning in Bouillante, offered by Mon Canyon, is the ideal activity to discover Guadeloupean nature in a different way, in complete safety.
A gentle immersion in tropical nature
Picture yourself sliding down natural water slides, swimming in crystal-clear freshwater pools, jumping if you wish from secured rocks, all surrounded by the lush forest of Basse-Terre. Family canyoning is not an extreme activity: it’s a gentle adventure, suitable from age 7, that lets you discover Guadeloupe at a pace adapted to children.
Bouillante, on the west coast of Basse-Terre, is known for its Cousteau Reserve, hot springs and volcanic landscapes. It also hides secret rivers and canyons perfect for a first family experience.
Why choose Bouillante for family canyoning?
- Calm, shallow rivers
- Natural water slides and small jumps, always optional
- Caring supervision from qualified guides
- Close to Malendure beach and the Cousteau Reserve
Easy to reach from Deshaies, Malendure or Saint-Claude, Bouillante offers an ideal setting for a water activity deep in the tropical forest: a shaded canyon, cool but pleasant water, and breathtaking scenery.
