What languages do the guides speak?
Guides from Mon Canyon speak French, English and Spanish, so instructions and safety briefings are covered in all three languages.
What is the most intense moment of the canyon?
The jump and rappel sections are typically the adrenaline peaks in a Guadeloupe canyon. Exact heights depend on water levels on the day, so ask your guide at the briefing for current conditions.
