About the activity

Take a half-day boat trip from Sainte-Rose to discover the Grand Cul-de-sac marin Nature Reserve in Guadeloupe!

In the north of Guadeloupe, the Grand Cul-de-sac marin Nature Reserve is a vast bay enclosed by a coral reef and islets and is home to a wealth of preserved flora and fauna. A visit by boat from Sainte-Rose, with a snorkeling break, is a must on the island, and what's more with a captain who knows the reserve like the back of his hand, so he can not only tell you all about its legends, but also share his knowledge of the environment of this protected natural area.

This boat trip to the Grand Cul-de-sac marin Nature Reserve from Sainte-Rose offers a total of 4.5 hours of discovery. Aboard a flat-bottomed boat that can go into corners unexplored by others, you will be immersed in the heart of the mangrove, an astonishing ecosystem that is a veritable refuge for fish and a protector of the coastline. The trip continues up a mysterious river, the stuff of Guadeloupean legends, and then you will have the chance to explore underwater life at 2 snorkelling stops: one near the roots of mangrove trees (a protective refuge for fish), and one above a wreck, a shelter for fish close to the coral reef. Your escapade will end with your feet in the water, on an islet where the captain will offer you a homemade planter or a fruit juice.

In a small group of no more than 12 passengers, you will board a comfortable boat with cushioned seating, a sundeck and a removable roof that is ideal for protection from the sun: all you have to do is make yourself comfortable on board and listen to the captain's commentary while enjoying the superb setting of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin Nature Reserve!

If you are looking for an authentic experience that will teach you a lot about Guadeloupe and its biodiversity, this boat trip from Sainte-Rose to discover the Grand Cul-de-sac marin Nature Reserve is just what you need!

Une expérience hors du commun que nous avons grandement apprécié. Notre capitaine Maho a été super accueillant, souriant et très très sympathique. Nous avons appris et découvert beaucoup de choses inconnues à ce jour malgré que nous soyons du pays. Nous vous recommandons fortement et d'autant plus avec le jeune Maho 👌🏽👏🏽

Nous avons adoré cette excursion dans la mangrove, c'est un lieu magnifique ainsi que l'arrêt vers les îlots où l'on descend du bateau pour le snorkeling. Nous remercions notre capitaine Meo pour toutes ses explications qui nous a beaucoup appris ces lieux paradisiaques.
