Canyoning in Le Morne-Vert runs from May to September, with 4 tours priced between 59 € and 180 €. Two entry points exist: half-day sessions around 59,70 € rated "Occasionally sporty", and a full-day extreme option at 180 € marked "Very sporty". If you're new to canyoning or want a solid tropical introduction, any of the three half-day tours (59 €, 60 €, 70 €) deliver a comparable physical challenge across the Absalon and Mitan canyons. The 4-hour Madacanyon Martinique descent sits in the middle on price and gives a precise time commitment. For those chasing maximum intensity, the full-day extreme session with TropiCanyon Martinique is the only "Very sporty" option in the lineup. The decision comes down to one question: do you want a taster or a full-day test?
