Nous avons passé une superbe demi journée. Prévoir maillot de bain pour la traversée sportive en bateau : vous serez trempé par les éclaboussures, c’est rigolo. Le skipper est sécurisant, et partage ses savoirs sur l’île paradisiaque. On a vu de nombreux poissons, tortues, raies, sols et petit requins citrons inoffensifs. Petite marche autour de l’île très sympathique avec des iguanes tout les 3 mètres. Apéro de qualité à bord du bateau avant de repartir sur Saint François. Une demi journée suffit pour explorer la totalité de la faune et la flore présente sur cette île.
The experience
Set sail for Petite Terre on this state-of-the-art speedboat. A trip in the company of a charming captain from St-François, who will take you to Petite Terre in complete safety. Friendly service, carefully prepared snacks and a smiling captain on hand to answer all your questions about Petite Terre.
Be amongst the first to set off for Petite Terre – meet at 7.15 am for a departure at 7.30 am sharp for a morning excursion (meet at 11.15 am for a departure at 11.30 am sharp for an afternoon excursion). After about 45 minutes’ sailing along the Pointe des Châteaux, Petite Terre will come into view. Once you arrive at Petite Terre, you’ll be given a short briefing on the rules to follow in the nature reserve before disembarking. Whilst your captain sets up your ‘base camp’, you can set off in search of your first turtles, which are still very close to the beach. This will be followed by a snack, after which you’ll have a little more time to enjoy the iguanas and other sights on the island. The snack will be served at around 10.00 am or 1.00 pm; please note that your captain will be happy to advise you on planning your activities on the island. On the menu for this aperitif/afternoon snack: planteur and coconut punch, marlin rillettes, smoked fish, banana chips, melon or pineapple, and olives. Non-alcoholic drinks are also provided (fruit juice, Coca-Cola, water). Relaxing and swimming alongside turtles, stingrays and harmless lemon sharks are all part of the programme. Before boarding for your return to Saint-François, scheduled for 12.15 pm or 5.15 pm depending on whether you set off in the morning or afternoon, you’ll have a final chance to spot the turtles on the other side of the lagoon as you leave Petite Terre. With a bit of luck, dolphins may do you the honour of following you on your return journey (please note that regulations do not allow us to stop or sail in their direction). Finally, return to Saint-François after a half-day packed with memories and the colours of paradise.

What travellers say
165 reviews for Half-day – Petite Terre Miami Vice Tour
Bonjour. Sortie à la 1/2 journée réalisée le 07/08 avec Guillaume comme Capitaine ! Super mec, sympa, carré sur la sécurité à bord lors de la traversée, visite obligatoire sur l’île de Petite Terre faite au bon niveau, à la fois bien racontée et très interessante, de bons conseils pour les coins de snorkeling à visiter, l’apéro sympa, bref un grand 5* bien mérité pour cette sortie avec Miami Vice ! Le gros plus est d’arriver rapidement sur l’île avant l’arrivée des bateaux plus lents. On peut bien voir les requins citrons avant que la foule arrive ! La traversée ce jour là était un peu touchy (1m de houle) mais réalisée de façon très safe et rigolote. Bon vent et bonne mer à Guillaume ! Superbe excursion, nager avec les tortues est un vrai kiffe. Je recommande ! Fred, Dounia, Margaux et Ambre
Petite Terre magnifique et merci au skipper Bruno pour les informations, la navigation, les bons plans et la bonne humeur
Très belle demi-journée et notre accompagnateur était parfait
