The experience
This excursion, led by a young skipper from Sainte-Rose, will allow you to escape for half a day to the magnificent island of Petite-Terre. There, you’ll discover a little corner of paradise with an astonishing ecosystem. There’s something for everyone on the itinerary: a tour of the island, relaxing, swimming, and observing the endemic flora and fauna of Petite Terre.
After the relatively short crossing, you’ll disembark on the beautiful beaches of Petite-Terre. The rest of the programme depends on what you fancy. You can join Faider for a guided tour of the island, which will take you to the lighthouse – the oldest in Guadeloupe. Along the way, you’ll discover the flora and fauna for which the island is renowned. You can also make the most of the crystal-clear waters for a quick swim or a spot of snorkelling. And if you can’t make up your mind, it’s perfectly possible to do both. Before your snack, you’ll have the chance to encounter the marine life of Petite Terre, which is renowned for its diversity. Turtles, lemon sharks, stingrays and several species of tropical fish await you in the lagoon.
- Snack: Ti punch, planteur, fruit juice, rosé, water, crisps
On the return crossing, you may spot a few turtles and dolphins before reaching the marina at around 12.00.

Très belle demi-journée avec Faider. Mer un peu agitée mais navigation au top ! Très belles connaissances des lieux, et bonne humeur sur le bateau, le tout accompagné de rhum ! Ilet magnifique, à ne surtout pas manquer (et à conserver prudemment) ! Merci pour cette excursion !

Très très belle demi-journée avec une mer pas toujours accueillante. Le capitaine Faider nous a menés à bon port, sans encombres avec sérieux, humour et décontraction. Sur place, les commentaires et explications sont argumentés et intéressants. Le retour fut un déchirement tant le site est beau et les fonds marins ressemblent à un documentaire sur les espèces de poissons de la Caraibe. Nous saluons le bébé requin citron qui est venu nous rendre visite à plusieurs reprises.... Meci anpil Faider. Fé atension a zot. Christophe et Françoise.

TRÈS BELLE DEMI-JOURNÉE GRÂCE À FAIDER ET SON BEAU BATEAU ! Nous étions 12 à bord. Le bateau "tient bien " la mer et la traversée jusqu'à Petite Terre fut loin d'être désagréable Sur place: un ravissement ! Faider non dénué d'humour mais d'un sérieux hors pair en matière de navigation, de protection de ses passagers , de présentation de l'îlet et ses merveilles à protéger... Bref, nous le recommandons chaudement !!! Petite suggestion, Faider, comme il se doit : que les chips de ta collation se transforment en bons accras !
