Description

Let's set off together for the Trou Blanc canyon, the most playful of Réunion Island's discovery canyons... and my personal favorite!

After a 30-minute approach walk, we start straight away with a vertiginous via corda followed by a 40-meter abseil on a spider's thread. Then it is on to a real natural water park! Numerous slides and jumps follow one another without a moment's pause, in an incredibly narrow geological space, until we reach a more open section where we have our picnic lunch in the sun.

Then it is off again for another series of jumps up to 10 meters high and slides up to 16 meters. Two other abseils and a splash zip line complete the picture, making this canyon an absolute must, fun and very complete.

This descent of the Trou Blanc canyon is accessible from the age of 14 to anyone able to walk for an hour on a steep ascent without insurmountable vertigo.

If you fancy more canyoning descents in Réunion Island, I would recommend the magnificent canyons of Cilaos: the canyon of Fleurs Jaunes (also available as a full-day version) and the canyon of Bras Rouge (also available as a full-day version) or, further south, the introductory canyon of the Langevin river.
