Canyoning in Reunion Island
Practise whitewater sports and watersports Rental canyoning and climbing equipment in Reunion
Reunion Island, an Eden for canyoneering ? That's what fans of this outdoor activity mid-way between rock-climbing and water sports say. Indeed, its mountainous landscape and tropical rainfall are a favorite for fans of abseiling under waterfalls, sliding into natural slides or jumping in the numerous pools. 70 equipped canyons, 131 kilometers of trails, a combined vertical drop of 28 000 meters, so many possibilities on such a small area !

Here again, you'll be better off with an official qualified instructor, for obvious safety reasons and his knowledge of the sites, as for rock climbing or water sports. In fact, they are often the same providers that can offer all these expeditions in the heart of Reunion Island, sometimes on the same sites.

The East being the most tropical and rainy region of Reunion Island, that's where you'll find the most aquatic canyons, while Cilaos and Mafate offer more rocky and mineral trails. The primary forest will give you the most beautiful expeditions.

Cilaos
Cilaos, the tropical capital of mountain activities, is logically Chamonix's (the birthplace of mountaineering) sister city. It is considered by specialists as its equivalent in the southern hemisphere (less the snow!).
