Catamaran Excursion to Petite-Terre Nature Reserve – Pristine Paradise

9 Hours

Overview

Step into an untouched sanctuary of natural wonder on an extraordinary catamaran day trip to Petite-Terre Nature Reserve. Located off the south-eastern tip of Guadeloupe, these two uninhabited islets are protected by strict conservation rules, creating an underwater Eden.

Swim in a warm, crystal-clear lagoon alongside graceful sea turtles, friendly stingrays, colorful reef fish, and harmless juvenile lemon sharks. On land, wander along the sandy pathway to the historic lighthouse and observe hundreds of endemic Lesser Antillean green iguanas basking in the Caribbean sunshine. A delicious Creole barbecue lunch served aboard completes this paradise experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

Why must Petite-Terre be booked well in advance?

Because Petite-Terre is a protected nature reserve, daily visitor numbers are strictly capped by French authorities. Boats sell out weeks in advance during peak season.

Are the lemon sharks in the lagoon dangerous?

Not at all! They are small juvenile lemon sharks and nurse sharks that are completely docile and harmless to humans.
