Set sail from Gosier for a day of exploration in the heart of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. Cruise with a professional skipper through the Rivière Salée, discover idyllic islets, dive on a shipwreck and enjoy a local meal. Set amongst mangroves, idyllic beaches and unspoilt seabeds, this adventure combines relaxation, nature and cultural immersion, ensuring you’ll return home with unforgettable memories.
Two excursions in one – that’s what Charles Henri offers with his ‘Petit Cul-de-Sac and Grand Cul-de-Sac’ package, all in a single day. You’ll start your day exploring the ‘Petit cul-de-sac’ with a trip along the Lezarde River. The ultimate mangrove experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the marine environment’s most vital vegetation. This will be followed by a well-deserved aperitif and then a meal on Îlet Fortune, a small islet where you can enjoy the perfect holiday meal on the beach, carefully prepared by a ‘Meilleur Ouvrier de France’. Swimming is also on the agenda in this Robinson Crusoe-style setting, with a stunning view offering the perfect opportunity to discover the riches of this ecosystem. Once you’ve had your fill, head for the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin by crossing the saltwater river. Lined with mangroves, the river also offers exceptional views of this unspoilt natural environment. You’ll moor at Îlet La Biche for another swim. This submerged islet offers a splendid view of the northern Basse-Terre, with shallow enough water to be ideal for children. It is one of the most beautiful islets in the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin, surrounded by mangroves. The next stop will be a visit to one of the Grand Cul-de-Sac’s major attractions: Caret Islet. Seemingly lost in the middle of nowhere, this islet will charm you with its 360-degree views and crystal-clear waters. You’ll then head back towards Pointe-à-Pitre, once again passing through the Rivière Salée, arriving back at your port of departure at around 4.45 pm.

Une journee exceptionnel avec capitaine yéyé, il a été un skipper incroyable plein de connaissances, qui a mis une bonne ambiance et nous a cuisiné un repas délicieux dégusté en pleine mer dans un cadre paradisiaque. Les lieux visités aussi beaux les uns que les autres . Je recommande fortement cette excursion et encore plus avec capitaine yéyé
Capitaine Léticia excellente et intéressante à écouter nous raconter l'histoire. Accueillante souriante et chaleureuse nous n'aurions pu je suis convaincu trouver mieux. Merci et salutations distinguées à notre Capitaine et donnez lui des bisous pour nous.
