Canyoning, is a one-of-a-kind experience in Gaspésie. Pull on a wetsuit, follow the course of a narrow river gorge, walk alongside waterfalls, slide down natural waterslides, and jump into crystal-clear pools—this is canyoning, Griffon Aventure style.
Suitable for both beginners and experienced adventurers, the activity is led by certified guides in a wild canyon near Forillon National Park.
