Duration
4:00 Hours
Encounter dazzling marine life off Basse-Terre and visit a spectacular island waterfall.
Board a modern glass-bottom boat at Malendure Beach for a relaxing ride through the Jacques Cousteau Marine Reserve. Several scenes from the legendary French oceanographer and film director’s first feature film, ‘The Silent World’ were filmed here and you’ll soon realise why he loved the area so much.
Marvel at the colourful world beneath you from the comfort of the boat and, or slip into the Caribbean Sea for a swim. As you explore the crystal-clear water, you’ll likely encounter hundreds of vibrant, tropical fish.
Enjoy refreshing local drinks on the sailing back to the island before driving to the Guadeloupe National Park. Follow your guide on a short walk through the lush forest to the beautiful Cascade des Ecrevisses waterfall.
