The experience

A tour of the Bay of Les Saintes’ most iconic sites by sea. Charly will take you out on his speedboat to the best spots to enjoy the archipelago’s crystal-clear waters. On the programme: swimming, snorkelling, as well as looking for sea turtles and exploring a shipwreck.

Charly welcomes you to his island from 9.45 am for the boat trip, or earlier to visit Terre de Haut by minibus (+€10 per person for those who wish) with a one-hour stop at Fort Napoléon to visit the fort (+€5 per person) and/or to take panoramic photos of the bay. On arrival, you can also wander through the streets of the charming village of Terre de Haut and go for a swim on the magnificent beaches that surround it. At 10.00, the sea adventure begins with a first stop to explore a shipwreck, where you can swim and enjoy a 100% Saintois aperitif overlooking Anse Mire. . Boarding the boat at 9.45 am for a 10 am departure. This is followed by a tour of the coast and the islets (Terre de Haut, then Terre de Bas, heading towards the pottery workshop and the island’s harbour). During this tour, your guide will try to spot the sea turtles that love to roam these exceptionally clear waters. A stop will be made at Pain de Sucre, the archipelago’s must-see spot for swimming and diving enthusiasts. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the crystal-clear water as you explore the exceptional seabed and marine life. Those who prefer to stay on dry land can sunbathe on the golden sand or simply take in the view in the shade of the coconut palms. Charly will drop you off at the jetty at the end of the tour so you can continue your day on land (around 12.45 pm) before catching your ferry back.

Sortie bateau/snorkeling avec Charly. Le cadre est incroyable. Les différents spots sur lesquels Charly nous accompagne permettent de nous initier en sécurité et de voir plein de poissons dans leur milieu naturel. Sortie très chouette!

Merci Charly pour l'excursion. Nous avons apprécié et nous aurons des souvenirs inoubliables avec les sites que tu nous as fait découvrir. Bonne continuation. Au sujet de la plate-forme où nous avons réservé : dommage de ne pas avoir plus d'informations sur l'équipement pour l'excursion : pas de chaussures d'eau, pas de produit solaire... ce qui nous aurez permis d'anticiper et de prévoir la tenue
