La Soufriere Volcano

The highest mountain in the lesser Antilles is also a volcano and an important landmark of Guadeloupe's landscape.

We never made it to the top because Mother Nature got in the way with wind, rain, fog. Still the effort was satisfying and the occasional breaks in the weather allowed us to see spectacular vistas of countryside and the Caribbean. Not for the faint of heart but well worth the effort. As others have said this is a climb, especially the last portion, and coming down is definitely more difficult if the weather is bad. Good footwear, layers of clothing and water are a necessity.

Short, easy walk to a beautiful waterfall. Just passed Maison de la Foret. Well worth the stop if you are in the area.

Distillerie du Rhum Montebello

Reviewed By 718kih - Longford, Ireland

Vert interesting tour, the guide who also works in the distillery was awesome, he explained how the whole tradition of making rum in Guadeloupe is still alive and very important for the locals. We had a little tasting of a pure rum straight from the pipe and let me tell you it was delicious. Montebello Rum is the best traditionally made rum on the island, so if you are looking for a bottle or two you can buy it at the small shop they have next to the distillery or even fill up your own bottle with pure rum for a literally few quid.

Plage Leroux

Reviewed By R7928BDmargareth

Some really great snorkeling here on either side of the beach. Not very crowded on a Friday. Tasty food at the top of the beach, just be prepared to wait about 10 minutes but worth it!

Plage de la Perle

Reviewed By Jonslandrover - Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Wonderful and pretty beach, some shade and drinks available. Sea is quite rough and the currents are strong - however when you are in - it is lovely - the whole beach was quite crowded yet still plenty of personal space - Would I go back there - Oh Yes! It was Beautiful and we loved it!
