THE CARIBBEAN · GUADELOUPE
Good tours & day trips in Guadeloupe fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
From Baie-Mahault, skipper Simon takes a small group of up to 12 around Grand-Cul-de-Sac-Marin. Expect mangroves, Îlet Caret, Îlet la Biche, coral reef snorkeling, a wreck, starfish, a barbecue lunch, and a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere.
“Such a great day! Simon was amazing. My favorite thing we did in Guadeloupe. The lunch of the boat was delicious.”
Set out from Riviere-Sens Marina at 9 a.m. with Reve de Nav for a full day sailing from Basse-Terre to Les Saintes. Expect a small group of no more than nine, swimming and snorkeling near an accessible wreck, a three-course Creole lunch, and a chance to take the helm with guidance from skippers such as Mathieu, Raphaëlle, Didier, or Olivier. You return around sunset.
“Super sortie en mer avec possibilité de prendre la barre, rhum colombo et snurkling. Bonne ambiance et personnel très professionnel. Traversée et visites des saintes depuis le bateau. N'hésitez pas à aller voir sur Google ou j'ai laissé un avis avec une belle description”
From quiet Babin Beach, a qualified guide teaches you stand-up paddleboarding before leading you toward Islet Macou through the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin mangrove. Expect clear water, red mangrove tunnels, coastal wildlife, and a homemade lemonade stop in a small cove. Guides such as Mathieu and Lilian bring a friendly, informative touch.
“Lilian est très passionnée et les explications sur les mangroves sont parfaites. Citronnade maison offerte en cours de circuit. Passage à l intérieur de mangrove tres impressionnant. Merci à Lilian”
Spend four hours around Deshaies, Guadeloupe, visiting Death in Paradise locations with Kinga, a guide closely connected to the production. See the police station, Catherine’s Bar, Fort Royal, La Perle Beach, Grande Anse, and filming sites that larger tours may skip. Pickup and transfers are available, with a maximum of eight people.
“Kinga was a very knowledgeable Guide. Excellent tour through the film location. We enjoyed every minute.”
Pick an island, a reef or a road.
