Canyoning · Cousteau Reserve
How to choose
Both tours run with Mon Canyon and depart from Bouillante, on Guadeloupe's western coast. The 60 € Bourseau canyon (4h, "Everybody welcome") runs near the Cousteau Reserve and requires zero prior experience, making it a clean entry point into tropical canyoning. The 110 € Bois Malaisé option doubles down on commitment: 6h of effort, a "Sporty" physical level, and a route that pushes toward the Soufrière volcano. The 50 € gap between the two directly reflects the extra duration and intensity. If you want to test the format, start with Bourseau. If you're already comfortable with sustained physical effort and want the full volcanic canyon experience, book Bois Malaisé directly.
