Sports and leisure activities French Guiana

Discover Montsinéry, Cayenne and the surrounding area from the air in a yellow hydro-ULM from Les Ailes Hydro. The flight center offers a fabulous ride in the air with instructor pilots Pascal and Bastien Legère, and the unforgettable experience of a water landing on the river. The view is spectacular! You'll also have the privilege of seeing the islands of Cayenne and perhaps even the Isles of Salut, weather permitting. For the more adventurous, the school offers introductory courses and full pilot's license training from the age of 15.

ASPAG is a water sports association that regularly organizes outings to discover nature, such as canoeing, kayaking and pirogue trips. Safe, fun and sporting activities, with a very friendly team. There's a choice of creek outings, surrounded by vegetation, or more sporting sea outings, or even downhill and freestyle whitewater excursions for more experienced kayakers. You can find a calendar of upcoming outings directly on our website.

This store, well known to the locals, offers more and more: here you'll find everything you need for carbeting, hiking, fishing, hunting, as well as airsoft equipment (weapons and protection). The welcome and advice are excellent! There's also a military surplus where you can find all the equipment you need to tackle the department's forests and rivers. And because hammocks aren't the only way to discover the forest and nature activities, take a look at the wide choice of tents!

Discover French Guiana aboard a catamaran! In addition to regular outings to the Iles du Salut and Ilets de Cayenne, Guyavoile can take you to Brazil, up the Oyapock or out to the West Indies.

Azalée, a state-qualified instructor, took over the ranch in 2011 and has since been offering private or group lessons, for beginners or advanced riders. This equestrian center will delight you not only with its courses, but also with its horseback rides around the ranch, in the forest, on the savannah or on farms. Courses from 2 to 5 days are also organized during the school vacations, with the possibility of passing the Galops. Birthday parties for children. A great way to discover Macouria's wild surroundings.

Created in 2003, Tukus is an association that promotes canoeing on the banks of the Oyapock. It regularly organizes introductory and advanced whitewater kayaking courses for adults and children aged 10 and over, in groups or on their own, in the company of a guide as passionate about canoeing as he is about the flora and fauna that inhabit the banks and waters of the Oyapock River. Along with rafting, this is one of the best ways to discover the Maripa jump. Don't hesitate to give them a call.

Ranch Amazonia is both a refuge for farm animals and an educational breeding center, especially for ponies. You'll be able to set up your hammock in the carbet for the night, unless you opt for a night in a ventilated room, but also and above all take part in some of the activities offered by the ranch: visit the farm and the educational trail, pony or bike rides, organic gardening workshops, bird and insect watching (especially butterflies) and swimming in the natural water pools.

What could be more beautiful than admiring the vastness of Guiana from the air?

Although the primary vocation of Camp Maripas' gigantic carbet is to host private parties (reception meals - for up to 120 guests - can be arranged here, from €45 per person), its location makes it a prime spot for relaxation.

A little corner of paradise for those seeking relaxation in the heart of nature.

The Cheval pour Tour equestrian farm offers a wide range of activities for young and old, beginners and experienced riders alike: from introductory riding lessons to trail rides, from real treks to multi-day excursions with camps...

Perfect for groups: while some take a stroll, others relax. Reservations required.

The Break Club is a sports and leisure complex with all the facilities you need to relax or recharge your batteries: pony for the little ones, squash and tennis courts and equipment, fitness room, Zumba or salsa classes...

Fishing has always been René-Claude's passion! He'll be offering you a day's fishing (departure at 7:30 am, return around 3/16 pm), aboard the King Silver (an 11 m motorboat), with a maximum capacity of 6 people. This guided outing will delight both novice and experienced anglers. Fishing tackle (schimano) is provided and the aperitif is free. Don't forget a cool box for your lunch, and to take your fish home with you. The atmosphere is friendly and the idea original.

If you don't have enough time to explore the river over several days, you can appreciate some aspects in just one day or a few hours. The activities offered by ADNG (Association pour la découverte de la nature en Guyane) are aimed at children, but most are also suitable for adults. Check out the program of activities online: the association's news, for example, is shared on Facebook.

At the Montsinery aquatic base, discover a host of activities: jetskiing, paddleboarding, canoeing, flyboarding and even towed buoys... the perfect way to have fun with friends!

Embark for a whole day (or more) on the river for 5 people or more, bring your own drinks and enjoy the catering, as well as all the activities mentioned above, depending on the package chosen (the price will be subject to change).
