Full-day private hire

Book this full-day private tour to explore the must-see sights of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin in a small group, with a comprehensive programme: a visit to La Biche islet, a stop for swimming and snorkelling at Caret islet, and an exploration of the mangrove forest. All in the company of Stéphane and Lydie, who are passionate about the sea.

Departure at 7.30 am from Baie-Mahault, heading for Caret Islet to enjoy a breathtaking 360° view of the mountains of Basse-Terre. We’ll then head to the shipwreck for some snorkelling – a veritable giant aquarium lying just a few centimetres below the surface – followed by a stop at the coral reef to explore living corals teeming with tropical fish. At Îlet La Biche, enjoy an aperitif on floating wooden jetties, followed by a meal prepared by the crew, served with your feet in the water or on board. In the afternoon, relax and swim in the natural pools amongst the mangrove roots, before weighing anchor at around 2 pm and heading towards the mangrove to watch the seabirds.
