Activity details

Meet up at the Saint-François ferry terminal (Iguana Beach counter) at 6:20 to board at 6:45 and depart at 7:05.

After about 50 minutes of sailing, you will reach Saint-Louis, on Marie-Galante. Your local guide will take over for a guided tour of his native island. This exceptional tour combines Marie Galante’s unmissable locations, like one of the 3 rum distilleries, the Murat and the La Feuillère beach, with some lesser-known locations that are just as remarkable, such as the maison de l’indigo (indigo house): a surprising discovery of the job and its two charming owners.

Take full advantage of all of Marie Galante’s charm and cultural wealth in an enchanting setting at your own pace. Your guide will share of the secrets of the island that he knows so well. He will drop you off at midday on the beach at one of the island’s best restaurants, and you will taste a meal based around fresh market produce!

Meal:

• Meal with fresh produce depending on availability
• Fresh fish starter according to the menu of the day: ceviche, carpaccio,...
• Grilled fish or meat of your choice depending on the menu of the day – Side dish of country vegetables
• Dessert depending on the menu of the day, coconut flan, crème brulée...
• Wines and drinks in addition

Enjoy the beginning of the afternoon at your table and in the sea opposite a landscape that only Marie Galante can offer and that is far away for the island’s mass tourism areas.
