Canyoning is basically a adrenaline junkie hike where you swim, jump and slide on waterfalls+++ I’d like to share that I’m a ‘chicken’ and scared of height. However, my mother in law advised that even 60+ can do it. Okay, I’m in!
We got pretty lucky, we’re the only ones for the tour for that day. So it was like we paid for a group tour but got a private one 😀 Met up with our guide by la Maison du Cacao parking lot and tailed him up into the hills. That’s where we all got suited up 😉
Helmet, life jacket, butt cover and wet suit were all provided by the tour guide.
The tour started in the bush LOL literately. Our guide, Pascal, showed us the forest a bit and shared some funny/scary local stories, plus some eco info. It was a bonus that I did not expect. Thumbs up on the extra. Did I mention that Pascal spoke English? Trust me, this was a RARE commodity in Guadeloupe.
I am one clumsy person. I hiked in snail speed? This was not a tar road hike like White Cloud Mountain. This was a full on stone, mud, whatever have you hike. We hiked downhill toward the water.
Will like to highlight that according to our Pascal, GARDENING SHOES lasted longer (like more than 2 years) than professional canyoning shoes. Apparently, the expensive professional shoes broke within 6 months. Fab info 😀 Thumbs up to garden shoes!
Okay, once I heard the water, it was the point of no return… all that leaping / swimming action was about to begin.
Tumbling over was part of the deal, statistically highly probable. Those rocks were slippery and that was why they made fab slides 😉
Contact lens wearer BEWARE of losing your lens. Close your EYES when you’re about to hit the water.
Now the moment that everyone was waiting for… the jump. Just watch how my brave heart of a mother in law slayed it.
And then watch me, the scardy cat screaming my head off…
After quite a bit of in/out of water action, it was time to ascend back up. My legs trembled while climbing up. It was hard to notice fatigue with all that screaming that I was doing. The hike back up was more steep than going down? I had to use my hands to “pull up” now and then, if you know what I mean.
Bonus of this Canyoning tour?
1.Skin Care… Discover mother nature’s clay mask
- Massage
There’s only 1 setting though. Bone crushing strength LOL
- Lots of rhum at the end of the tour

Useful info. Fortunate me I discovered your website accidentally, and I am shocked why this accident didn’t came about earlier! I bookmarked it.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
I just couldn’t depart your site before suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the standard info a person provide for your visitors? Is going to be back often to check up on new posts
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Superb work!
Via my research, shopping for electronic devices online may be easily expensive, although there are some guidelines that you can use to acquire the best offers. There are always ways to discover discount deals that could help to make one to have the best electronic devices products at the lowest prices. Interesting blog post.

I would also like to add that when you do not already have an insurance policy or perhaps you do not take part in any group insurance, you could possibly well benefit from seeking the aid of a health broker. Self-employed or people with medical conditions generally seek the help of one health insurance dealer. Thanks for your article.
Have you ever considered writing an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Extremely useful info particularly the last part 🙂 I care for such information a lot. I was looking for this particular information for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
Good post however , I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Thank you!
I do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
I have observed that expenses for online degree authorities tend to be a fantastic value. Like a full 4-year college Degree in Communication in the University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits at $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online provides a Bachelors of Business Administration with a full school requirement of 180 units and a tuition fee of $30,560. Online learning has made having your certification been so cool because you could earn your own degree from the comfort in your home and when you finish working. Thanks for other tips I have really learned through your web site.
Heya are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you require any html coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Interesting page. I really like the topic discussed here. I’ll check back every now and then for more postings like this one.
Interesting content. I’m glad I found this page. I’m going to bookmark it so I can read any future posts.
