Very good activity, we are well guided at the start on places and things to see and we have an extra laminated map to head! The value for money is great, the manager very nice, and we were alone during the walk which is a plus!

The owner Francis warmly welcomed us in German. He explained the entire route to us and told us specifically how the lake and the mangroves were formed there. A very pleasant and relaxed paddle tour with excursion into the palm forest.👏👏

Beautiful kayak and paddle ride! The beach of Grande Anse de Deshaies is the most beautiful we have done in Guadeloupe. The nautical center offers several activities, the owner is really nice and gives good advice for hiking on the water. A few small stops at small beaches to see the fish under transparent water. A perfect family moment. Thank you very much, we highly recommend going 😉
