Bonjour, Ma famille et moi, nous avons passé une excellente journée avec Lilian. Cette balade en petite communauté avec une mère et sa fille a été très agréable. Mes filles ont aimé le circuit et repartirons en Métropole avec un beau souvenir de Marie-Galante tant pour la visite de l'île, ses sites, le restaurant où le service a été agréable que le temps de baignade. Félicitations à Lilian pour sa culture de son Île. Petit conseil aux lecteurs : allez-y ! N'hésitez pas. Faites l'excursion avec ICIGO.

Ferry, comfortable tour and beachside restaurant meal – Departure from Saint-François
The experience
Meet at the Saint-François ferry terminal (Comadile ticket office) at 6.45 am for a 7.15 am departure on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. After a crossing of around 50 minutes, you’ll arrive in Saint-Louis. Your local guide will meet you there for a guided tour of their home island. This exceptional tour combines Marie Galante’s must-see sites – such as one of the island’s three rum distilleries, the Habitation Murat, the magnificent beaches of Vieux Fort and the Gueule Grand Gouffre – with lesser-known sites (kassaverie and/or battery syrup factory,...) but just as remarkable. At your own pace, make the most of everything that makes up the charm and cultural richness of Marie Galante in an enchanting setting. Your guide will be sure to share some of the secrets of this island, which he knows so well. At midday, they’ll drop you off at the beachfront of one of the island’s finest restaurants, where you’ll enjoy an authentic Creole meal featuring fish or chicken.
Caribbean meal on the beach:
- Aperitif
- Fish or chicken dish (a hearty meal served with salad, accras, local vegetables, white or Creole rice)
- Dessert of the day
- 1/4 bottle of wine
Enjoy the early afternoon at your table and in the water, with a view that only Marie-Galante can offer!

Une journée remplie d'informations de rire grâce à notre guide, Patrick! Et une très bonne table avec un accueil et un souci du bien être du client parfaits ! Merci pour cette belle journée ! Sandra
Bonjour, Merci à Patrick pour son accompagnement et la richesse de son savoir pour cette belle journée sur Marie galante ! Une jolie visite et dégustation, pour finir sur un restaurant les pieds dans l'eau avec une vue spectaculaire ! Nous avons passé un très bon moment.
Merci à Patrick Montout notre guide. Il a su nous faire découvrir son île dont il a su nous parler avec passion et professionnalisme. Seul bémol, le temps de baignade à été trop court.
