Guided sea walk – Cousteau Reserve

Specialists of the wildlife and plants in the Caribbean Sea will show you the secrets of the reef at the heart of the National Park, the Ilets Pigeon (Cousteau Reserve). If you don’t know how to swim, or are not comfortable snorkeling, you will be sure to have a guide stuck to your fins to reassure you. We are members of the Guadeloupe Marine Turtle Network, and we will teach you how to approach the turtles without bothering them.
