A team of professional climbers will take you to platforms in the trees; the descent between the different platforms is done by sliding along a cable stretched above and inside the forest (zip line).

Note that this friendly team is working with the Mitsinjo association on an ecotourism project for the conservation of the canopy.

Created in 2012 by two friends, Chris and Mia, this incoming agency based on the ground floor of the Eden Hotel offers tailor-made stays all over the island, with a predilection, of course, for the east coast and Sainte-Marie.
