Nous avons passé un moment vraiment fabuleux lors de notre sortie canyoning avec Vert Intense. Cette expérience unique et originale nous a permis de découvrir une autre Guadeloupe qui n’est malheureusement pas accessible à tout le monde si on n’est pas rôdé à cette activité. Et franchement, cette Guadeloupe-là est à couper le souffle : longer la rivière, découvrir ses nombreuses petites cacades et ses petits bassins sous la forêt tropicale, c’est magique ! Xavier notre guide, très professionnel, cool et super sympa nous a permis de découvrir cette incroyable facette de la Guadeloupe dans la bonne humeur et surtout, en toute sécurité ! Pas de pression, chacun y va à son rythme, on prend le temps de savourer chaque étape et pour ma part, de prendre tout un tas de photos pour immortaliser toute cette autre beauté absolument fascinante ! Pour les moins « aventureux » comme moi, si vous n’êtes là que pour en prendre plein les yeux et que vous ne cherchez pas les « sensations fortes » sachez que tous les sauts et toboggans sont évitables !

Je dirais que c'est pas du tout facile et il faut être en forme physiquement. Aussi je pense ça sera dur pour les gens qui ont peur de l'altitude. Sinon comme une première expérience, c'était extraordinaire pour moi et je suis plus que satisfaite ❤️❤️
