Canyoning · Cirque de Cilaos
How to choose
7 canyoning tours run through the Cirque de Cilaos between 65 € and 77 €, split across two canyons and two intensity levels. Budget half-day entries start at 65 € with Ciméo Nature or CilaosAventure on Bras Rouge or Mini Fleur Jaune, both rated 'Occasionally sporty' and ideal for first-timers. Step up to Fleur Jaune for the 'Sporty' level: half-day to full-day formats from 75 €, with Réunion Outdoor Activités offering the longest sessions at 5.5h to 7h for 77 €. The decision is straightforward: pick 'Occasionally sporty' if it's your first descent in a volcanic canyon, go 'Sporty' on Fleur Jaune if you want sustained effort and maximum immersion in the caldera.
