We had a wonderful day, very informative and respectful of the natural areas.
What can we say about Captain Steven? He quickly put us at ease and made us relax, providing us with a wealth of information about the vegetation and animals of Guadeloupe.
Then we enjoyed aperitifs and dinner on the boat in a magnificent setting.
We had plenty of time for snorkeling at each stop.
This trip was a truly great experience for us.
And thank you, Steven, keep sharing your passion and love for Guadeloupe.
Eric and Fanny.

A magnificent day filled with laughter, sunshine, snorkeling, discoveries, and a feast for the senses. Marie-Laure is an extraordinary guide, and Mike a kind and attentive captain, all aboard a beautiful boat. I highly recommend it.
