Snorkeling at the Great Marine Culdesac in Guadeloupe

4.00We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day without wind. We took advantage of the stops to snorkel in 4 different places for about 30 minutes at each stop. So about 2 hours of snorkeling for an outing of about 4 hours. However, we should not expect to see corals and plenty of fish. It is when we are on a boat that the guide explains that corals become extinct, so less coral means less fish. There are also places that were planned for snorkeling that we could not do. The Islet Blanc is protected, so no snorkeling is possible even around. Caret Island, we snorkel but it is no longer possible to walk on the island because it is protected. Returned to the Mangroves, there are many boats, including one with loud music. Since it is shallow and there were many people walking on the bottoms and stirring the sand, the visibility is unfortunately not good.
We have both been working a lot lately and were pretty exhausted so we made this trip the second day of a birthday celebration,

5.00An unforgettable family experience! 🌊☀️ We had an absolutely magical time on this boat trip. Everything was there for a perfect day: beautiful scenery, a relaxed atmosphere and above all an exceptional Captain (David)! Professional, passionate and very attentive, he has put us at ease from the start and shared with us his knowledge and love of the sea. Both children and adults loved it, swimming, discovering and laughing. We feel safe while enjoying every moment. A huge thank you for this timeless moment, which we recommend with our eyes closed!
