Sea-fishing: This is popular, and can be undertaken from rocks, as well as from boats. Fishing for sharks and other big fish can be done in the open sea. Fresh-water fishing and fly-fishing are also popular.

Other: French Guiana is an expensive destination for adventure travellers. There are river trips and treks into the interior, and jungle shelters are available for overnight stops. A special permit is necessary from the Préfecture in Cayenne. There are tennis courts in Cayenne and some hotels also have courts. Canoeing, horse-riding, and sailing can also be arranged. Swimming is safe around Ile de Cayenne and some hotels have pools. Facilities for water-skiing are available in Kourou and Montjoly.
