The tour is great and David is a good shipper. He is only very unfriendly and very rude.
The experience
Set off on an unforgettable half-day excursion to Petite-Terre, an unspoilt island perfect for nature lovers and snorkelling enthusiasts. Accompanied by David, your experienced skipper, discover the island’s magnificent landscapes, white sandy beaches and exceptional marine life.
The adventure begins at 11.15 am at the fishing harbour in Saint-François, with departure at 11.30 am. On arrival at Petite-Terre, you’ll be captivated by the island’s natural beauty and its white sandy beaches fringed by crystal-clear waters. The excursion will be devoted to exploring the island, including its historic lighthouse, and enjoying some special moments of snorkelling. Beneath the surface, an exceptional array of marine life awaits you: lemon sharks, majestic rays and sea turtles swimming in an almost untouched environment. You’ll also be able to enjoy a relaxing swim on the beach whilst admiring the peaceful setting of Petite-Terre, far from the hustle and bustle of tourism. A half-day of exploration and relaxation in perfect harmony with nature awaits you in Petite-Terre, a truly unspoilt paradise.
