Activity description

Leave for one of the most mythical canyons of Reunion Island, the canyon of Fleurs Jaunes in the heart of the Cirque de Cilaos!

The canyon of Fleurs Jaunes is the pearl of the Reunionese canyons: between strong sensations, aerial passages, swims in beautiful basins and obstacles to be overcome without any technical difficulty, it is accessible to all those in good physical condition and in search of adrenaline!

The canyon of Fleurs Jaunes starts gently on a superb gorge where four pools and abseiling slides from 12 to 20 meters follow one another, facing a splendid panorama on the Cirque de Cilaos and the Piton des Neiges. There follows a 55 meters high abseil, at first sight impressive but nevertheless very easy to realize because it can be done on the back, facing the void (abseiling slide).

The descent of the Fleurs Jaunes canyon ends with two abseils, the first one of 35 meters and the second one of 20 meters, then with a well deserved picnic break to breathe and enjoy the surroundings. It will then be time to leave for the return walk, a little steep and physical by a "sentier cabris" (escape route) where you sometimes have to use the rope: your half-day in the canyon of Fleurs Jaunes will end on an unforgettable sporting note!

Those who love sensations will be delighted to go down the canyon of Fleurs Jaunes in the Cirque de Cilaos, between sportive moments and incredible landscapes. And for those who would like to enjoy a more accessible canyoning course, the canyon of Mini Fleur Jaune will seduce you!

Great fun! The way down was really easy and it didn't take too long to hike back up.

One of the best things to do in Cilaos, access places you cannot get to when hiking

Activité très sympa. C était la première fois que l on faisait du canyoning. Photos gratuites a recuperer sur le site se qui est rare de nos jours. A refaire.

Activités dure , à part 1 ou 2 toboggan, le reste de l activité ne sont que des rappels , nous avons apprécié la montée pour retourner au parking, le reste était moyen, pas énormément de sécurité, surtout sur la fin des rappels, l accompagnateur nous fait que de parler de sécurité, il faudrait être à 2 pour accompagner le groupe car une fois en bas nous attendons et c est dangereux pas trop de place sur les rochers lorsque nous attendons le guide.

Très belle expérience. Le lieu est magnifique. Fabrice (notre guide) était passionnant. Il nous laisse le choix pour certains sauts. Cette première fois m’a donné envie d’en refaire ! Attention tout de même à la remontée d’une petite heure qui monte bien ;)
