Description

Make your way to the northern end of Martinique and enjoy a nature-filled canyoning program in the Fond Lottiere to Grand’Riviere! This guided program on a gorgeous Caribbean island lets you swim, abseil, and jump along a river course, combining the uncompromised beauty of mountainous terrain, lush rain forest, mesmerizing wildlife, and non-stop action!

The French island of Martinique, set in the tropical paradise of the Caribbean, is filled with natural marvels. From volcanoes covered in rain forest to savannah vegetation alongside black and white sand beaches, this location has something for everyone.

Some of its most intriguing features are its river beds and gorges, carved by meandering rivers. At the north end of the island, in the shadow of Mont Pelee (1,397m), the Fond Lottiere makes its way to the end of Martinique. This is our chance to follow the ebbs and flows of this winding wonder, making the long journey through the canyons to the village of Grand’Riviere.

The course itself is surrounded by incredible forests, iconic features of North Martinique. The active volcanoes and their vegetation are also spectacular sights to admire as we go. The canyons themselves will have seven rappels, varying in length from eight to 20 meters. The descent includes refreshing swims in the pleasant pools of water.

With the lush and vivid greenery all around us, we will spend a large portion of the day making our way down through the canyons of the Fond Lottiere. The area capitalizes on the remote nature of the region, which will give you a personal experience blazing your own trail in the delightful river and its many water pools.

With a revitalizing waterway as our channel of transportation, you will travel comfortably over the course of the day. All of the equipment, like helmets, harnesses, and wet suits, are provided by us, so you can spend your time enjoying the scenery. The course is long and covers multiple hours, making at least a moderate fitness level is necessary.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
