What to expect

Join us for a full-day boat trip to Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin lagoon, an intimate excursion through some of the most exceptional spots in the marine national park's nature reserve. We begin our adventure as you board our beautiful speedboat "La Lidyy". Our friendly and highly qualified crew is dedicated to ensuring your experience is both enjoyable and memorable.

Our first stop is at the enchanting Îlet Caret, where you can immerse yourself in the clear waters for a swim. Surrounded by a breathtaking 360° view of the mountains of Basse-Terre, this spot is perfect for snorkeling. Keep an eye out for the graceful stingrays that glide beneath the surface. Next, we will take you to a special snorkeling site over a wreck and coral reef, where you can explore vibrant live coral along with a multitude of tropical fish and other fascinating marine life.

After exploring the marine wonders, enjoy an apéritif and local lunch in a floating bar, a unique dining experience that lets you savour local flavours amidst the crystal-clear waters. Next, we will enter the mangrove of the protected reserve of Îlet aux Oiseaux where you can enjoy the tranquility reigning within, while observing the species found in that environment. We will finally stop at the Îlet La Biche, where you can swim among the roots of the mangrove trees or, for those seeking adventure, try your hand at a giant paddle in the lagoon. This tour is ideal for families, friends, water sports enthusiasts, and photographers looking to capture the beauty of the ocean.
