Activity description

Explore the underwater fauna and flora of the lagoon and mangrove of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin by snorkeling, a perfect outing with family or friends!

Starting from the Aquarium of Guadeloupe in Le Gosier, let yourself be guided by Seatour's state-certified diving instructors who will accompany you and help you discover the extraordinary richness of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, in the heart of the National Park of Guadeloupe.

Seatour takes you for a half-day dedicated to snorkeling and discovering the mangrove and the lagoon aboard the Ecotour, a 12-meter long motor catamaran, to explore the natural reserve of the Guadeloupe National Park. You will have the pleasure to discover the mangrove and the crystal clear waters of the lagoon of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, as well as its islets, its underwater meadows and the biggest coral reef of the Lesser Antilles. This shelter of thousands of multicolored fish will leave you with great memories of this boat trip!

Sailing in the shelter of the coral reef, in a lagoon with calm waters and with relatively short navigation times between two stops, you will not get seasick! You will go on up to two snorkeling trips (equipment provided, but you are free to bring your own), accessible to anyone who knows how to swim and which will allow you to live a half-day of happiness in the company of the fish of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin. The instructors will adapt to your level and will accompany you to ensure your safety and answer all your questions.

You will discover the shallow underwater life (0 to 3 m) in the heart of the preserved ecosystem of the natural reserve of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin of Guadeloupe!

Offer Description

Enjoy a total of about 2 hours of navigation and enjoy a panoramic view of the lagoon, the mangrove, the islets and the Basse-Terre. The boat ride is commented, with an emphasis on environmental awareness and the functioning of the different ecosystems crossed.

You will do one or two snorkeling trips of 45 min. maximum each, under the supervision of state certified diving instructors. It is necessary to know how to swim to participate in the snorkeling trips, however, people who do not wish to take part can stay on board to enjoy a relaxing moment in a sumptuous setting.

You will leave on board a motorized catamaran with all the comforts (seats, shade, toilets) and will benefit from refreshments (fresh water, soft drinks, fruit juice) during the activity.

Course of events

Half-day trip (about 4h15) in the bay of Grand Cul-de-sac marin. Crossing of the Rivière Salée and its mangrove, followed by a first stop in the lagoon of the Fajou islet for a snorkeling tour on the coral reef, then a second stop on the Caret islet to discover the underwater meadows or to relax on the beach and enjoy a swim in its turquoise waters.

Ausflug lief wie beschrieben hat und hat sich wirklich gelohnt

  • 5 / 5

Le bateau est très confortable et très stable. Les explications sur la mangrove puis le grand cul de sac marin sont très intéressantes. La randonnée palmée est encadrée par 2 moniteurs en groupe de niveau. Les enfants sont équipés de gilet de flottaison ce qui est très rassurant et permet de ne s’occuper que de regarder le corail et les poissons.
