Activity description
Discover sailing in the sublime setting of the Saintes archipelago during a 2 hours catamaran trip!
Voil Ô Saintes offers you the opportunity to discover sailing in the archipelago of Les Saintes, a group of 9 islands in the south of Guadeloupe. A small corner of paradise, still wild on a large part of it, the Saintes offer a magnificent setting to learn how to sail a small 8 meters sport catamaran!
The instructor, Arnaud, will propose you to set the sails together at the start of the trip in Terre-de-Haut before explaining you how to maneuver the catamaran. You will then be able to take the helm under his supervision to go to Terre-de-Bas! This introduction to sailing in the Saintes archipelago will also include a short snorkeling break in Grande Baie where you may encounter sea turtles. And before going back to Terre-de-Haut, you will be able to sail in the bay of Les Saintes to fill up with the sensations of speed and sliding!
If you want to enjoy a relaxing sailing trip in Guadeloupe, this catamaran discovery in the Saintes archipelago is the right activity for you!
