Mercredi 12 août 2026 Excellente excursion. Merci Adams pour l'organisation de cette superbe journée inoubliable. Un moment de convivialité et de partage en petit comité, c'était parfait! Merci également à notre guide Jean-Marc pour son accueil et visite de l’île, un véritable passionné. Excursion recommandée sans hésitation !
The experience
Set off to explore Marie Galante, an iconic island in the Guadeloupe archipelago. A complete change of scenery is guaranteed on this trip, which will allow you to see some of the most beautiful aspects of the ‘grande galette’!
The trip begins at the Saint-François marina, departing at 7.45 am. We recommend arriving at the boarding point 20 to 30 minutes before departure. After a crossing of 45 minutes to 1 hour, you’ll disembark at the port of Saint-Louis in Marie-Galante. Your guide on Marie-Galante, Jean-Marc, will be waiting for you in Saint-Louis and will take you on a tour to discover the island’s wonders. The programme runs throughout the morning and includes: a visit to the Habitation Murat and its botanical garden, a tour of a traditional distillery with tasting (in moderation, of course ;) and a visit to the ‘mare à punch’ with historical commentary. Once the morning is over, you’ll head to Folle Anse beach for an aperitif in an idyllic setting, surrounded by white sand and turquoise water. Homemade fish rillettes, fresh fruit and a homemade punch will be served before you sit down to eat. The meal includes barbecued chicken or fish, a Madras rice salad, a raw vegetable salad, planteur, red and rosé wine, as well as non-alcoholic drinks. Don’t miss the famous coconut flan for dessert – it’s absolutely delicious! After the meal, you can enjoy Folle Anse beach before setting sail again towards Anse Canot, a little slice of paradise. It’s the perfect opportunity to take a dip in its crystal-clear waters and soak up the idyllic surroundings. But that’s not all – your captain will suggest a snorkelling stop at a spot ideal for spotting reef fish, a treat for young and old alike. All good things must come to an end, and it’s time to leave the ‘grande galette’ with your head full of all the beautiful sights you’ve seen throughout the day. Departure is scheduled for 3.30 pm from Marie-Galante, arriving at 4.30 pm in Saint-François.

Très bonne excursion : rapidité de la traversée, avec un très bon capitaine, merci Adams pour l'organisation : nous étions en petit comité et c'était parfait. Un moment de partage et de convivialité, une journée inoubliable. Merci également à Jean-Marc notre guide passionné pour une superbe visite de son île. Je recommande vivement sans hésitation !
Très belle et agréable sortie. Adams, très professionnel et avenant: - pilote pour la traversée en bateau 12 personnes - préparateur du repas convivial et copieux Il nous a fait découvrir deux plages magnifiques pour se baigner et explorer les fonds avec masque et tuba. Jean-Marc et son acolyte avec des minibus, très sympathiques tous les deux pour une visite guidée historique et vie de l'île, agrémentée de pleins d'anecdotes Merci à tous les trois? Je recommande vivement cette excursion, mais à éviter si mal de mer ou mal en jambes?
La visite de Marie Galante avec Jean-Marc a été top, tout comme la traversée et le repas préparé par Adams… un régal! L’après midi baignade dans les eaux turquoises. Une excursion à ne pas louper! Merci encore Adams pour cette belle journée!
