Très agréable surprise les salles sont très indiqués . La restauration à l intérieur est aussi bien orchestré et les sièges sont confortables prévues pour les personnes de grandes tailles. Merci pour le public des salles obscures

OMG….wow!!! This is definitely one of our best memories in Guadeloupe. You get to cycle (velib de mer) on the ocean through mangrove. The guide knows everything about all local animals and the mangrove forest and he will happily share his knowledge with you. He will make an open-fire BBQ at the beach at lunch time with Ti Punch, Planteur and Fruit Juices as Apero. The meal was amazing!! You start around 8:30am and will be back by 6pm. I thought I would get bored at some point but not at all. What a beautiful experience: amazing nature views, cycling through a mangrove forest, bird-watching at sunset, BBQ at the beach, sun, warm water, nice people and smiles….and the friendliest, funniest guide ever!!

On their canoes, Ti-Evasion offers to make you discover the largest lagoon in the Lesser-Antilles, accompanied by a naturalist and state-qualified guide. His commentaries will allow you to become acquainted with the rich specificities of the lagoon !The mangrove swamp habitat, home to many birds and fish, the coralislets and their uncrowded Beaches, will offer you some of the precious moments of this memorable trip.

Excellent outing, a good way to escape busy Guadeloupe and see something completely different, perfect for kids as well, even better if you know French. Plants, weird animals, you will get to hold a sea cucumber that attacks you with a water jet... Beware that the kayaks are open so you will need a lot of sun cream or even better long sun pants to protect you from the rays.

Our last stop on a tour of Guadeloupe, would be in the town of Morne-a-l’Eau. As we approached our destination, everyone was amazed to see a cemetery in the shape of an Amphitheater with black and white checkered graves. Now this was an unusual cemetery to say the least. We spent about 15 minutes looking around and taking in this unique place. It is one of those places where you just can’t take enough photos to capture the whole place. At times like this, I wish I had a drone to mount a camera on to be able to capture it all.
5. Memorial Acte

Reviewed By 124C41NewEngland - New England
The stunning new Memorial ACTe (opened in June 2015) is a "must see" for any visits to Guadeloupe. It tells the story of slavery and oppression throughout the Americas and makes effective use of audio visual presentations. Designed by a local Guadeloupe architectural firm, construction too seven years and cost nearly $74 million. Some sections, as you would expect, are more effective than others. In particular the area on pirates lacks depth. There are also some minor issues with the audio guide. But all in all, a stunning site. There is also an upscale gift shop and two restaurants. The more upscale is a great choice for lunch. The upper walkway behind the façade is simply amazing. The location was a blighted area that at one time was the location of a sugar mill. The government has an ambitious goal to make this area the new town center of Pointe à Pitre. This is a great start!
6. Ilet du Gosier

Reviewed By BangForBuck - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
This island is reachable via quick boat transfer.
It’s 5 Euro return trip with service every 15 minutes or so. Last return is at 5pm.
Unfortunately the bar/restaurant was closed. We had to go back to Mainland for drinks and snacks and had to pay the transfer again.
The island isn’t bad, better than the beach on Mainland. Just lots of sand flies...
I guess it’s something cheap to do.
There’s lots of food trucks and restaurants near the dock on Mainland.

The 2 hours introduction to SUP and to the mangrove with Matthew was great!
After a short lesson on how to manage your Stand Up Paddle, Matthew will take you through a tour on the mangrove - beautiful scenery with expert explanations on the mangrove and it's environmental role!
Highly recommended!

Pretty beach with restaurants nearby on the shore that you can eat at. Also, you can use the swim channel to swim out to a nearby island, if you are adventurous!
9. Cathedrale Saint Pierre Saint Paul

Reviewed By BroLucius - Winchester, England
There is little of interest near the cruise terminal of Pointe-a-Pitre. It is a poor part of town with run-down streets and buildings. Hoping for the best, we made our way to the Cathedral, which was visible from the cruise ship. The exterior had been freshly painted but did not look particularly cathedral-like. The interior had plenty of iron on display - a necessity after previous destruction caused by an earthquake. This might of interest to a construction engineer, but is not at all inspiring in the way that most cathedrals are. Having enjoyed the stained glass windows in Fort-de-France Cathedral in Martinique, I was slightly disappointed by the lack of such splendour here.

J'étais dubitatif mais force est de constater le bien être individuel et les bienfaits sur le groupe que procure le Laser Game du Morne Vergain. Rien de telle qu'une bonne "bagarre" aux pistolets laser pour se défouler avec les collègues tout en influant positivement sur l'esprit d'équipe. Soulignons également l'accueil irréprochable de l'hôtesse/"barwoman" qui vous met tout de suite dans l'ambiance en arborant son treillis commando. Merci aux collègues d'avoir joué le jeu et de m'avoir entraîné dans l'aventure. À réitérer.
