Canyoning · Le Morne-Vert
How to choose
Canyoning in Le Morne-Vert features 3 tours priced between 55 € and 180 €. Two entry points exist: half-day sessions around 55–70 € 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, either of the two half-day tours (55 €, 70 €) deliver a comparable physical challenge across the Saut du Gendarme and Absalon 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?
