The programme

We discover Guadeloupe island, a French overseas territory shaped like a butterfly and made up of two main islands - Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre separated by a stretch of sea, the Salée river.
The island of Basse-Terre, unlike what its name might suggest (i.e. low land), is actually mountainous and is home to the La Soufrière volcano, which is 1467 metres high and one of the highest reliefs in Guadeloupe. The area is covered in lush rainforest crossed by rivers and waterfalls. A 10 minute walk takes us to one of the most famous, the amazing Shrimp Waterfall (Cascade aux Écrevisses) fed by the Corossol river.
After the first part of the tour in Basse-Terre, we set for a 60-minute transfer to Grande-Terre, which is mainly made up of flat limestone and characterised by long white sandy beaches and sugar-cane plantations. Thanks to its dryer weather, Grande-Terre is home to the main tourist centres in Guadeloupe including Sainte-Anne, a small town overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and know for its beaches.
We take a break to admire the beauties of this lively tourist destination including the Craft Village where local craftsmen showcase their products and the open-air market selling fruit, spices and tropical flowers along the seafront.
The perfect end of our tour is a stop at the beach in Sainte-Anne, characterised by fine sand perfect for swimming.
