Adventure Park

Everywhere in the archipelago, nature is so enticing and luxuriant that being embraced by it and hearing the constant melody of flowing water and tropical bird songs of the "piade, tapé or coucou-manioc" will make you think you are in paradise !
Breathing in the smell of chlorophyll, tasting wild berries, being brushed by delicate mountain flowers, sliding on a bed of moss, paddling in warm mud and being soaked with fine rain – that’s experiencing a real tropical adventure.

Animal Parks

Friendly places for finding and rediscovering species of fauna from Guadeloupe and the Antilles which are protected or in the process of disappearing altogether. You’ll be greeted by the “raccoon”, the mascot of Guadeloupe, who will introduce you to his other relatives – the agouti, the muskrat and the mongoose – and his fellow residents. Don’t be surprised if you don’t see any reptiles (snakes or vipers) as they never existed on the archipelago. We have to preserve its environment, but also what’s in it

Beaches

Like the myriad of colours on which its people are based, the Guadeloupean archipelago has a rich variety of sandy and pebble beaches in colours shades you won’t find anywhere else in the world black, grey, pink, golden, brown and white sand. Depending which part of the archipelago you visit, the sand will be lighter or darker and its texture will vary. The choice for bathing is yours in the waters of the Caribbean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean

Bodyboarding

Defying two of the four elements, wind and water, on just a frail craft, slalom or freestyle – you must be doing it for a bet or a dare ! After a few minutes’ introduction and advice on stance and balance, and how to fix the safety harness, you’re off on a wild ride on the Atlantic seas. A bit of a race with the dolphins, holding your course, and then you can think of heading back to the warm sand where a hero’s welcome awaits you

Explore rivers

Most of the rivers providing water for the Guadeloupean soil are to be found on Basse-Terre ! Their waters are very cool and will provide you with a lovely, invigorating bath. Some have relaxing properties and are constantly sought out by a large number of Guadeloupeans and visitors alike. Among the best known are : La lézarde, Corossol, Bras David, Acomat, St Louis, Bois Mahler...
In some cases, parts of the riverbeds have formed into well known bathing places known as the "yellow baths", the "plains", "Sofaïa" "Dolé" and "Hot Ravine", or else the rivers end their mad journey in spectacular waterfalls such as : Le Carbet, Moreau, la Lézarde, Vauchelet, les Ecrevisses, and les Trois Cornes. There’s nothing nicer, after a pleasant walk in the forest, than to have a lovely bathe in the river

Floral Parks

The island of beautiful waters – yes ! The sun kissed island – yes ! We have these two elements, essential for cultivation, all over our archipelago. Both on Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, a huge variety of amazingly colored flowers grow in the botanical gardens !

Golf

The seaside among gorgeous palm trees under a delightful tropical heat is the best place for the professional golfers to display their talents and offers exceptional surroundings to start a new sport experience.

Hikes

Walking without fear of being bitten by some poisonous animal or being sprayed by the milky juice of a tree or shrub from the “spurge” family, (manchineel tree), in the footsteps of famous smugglers, is so good it gives you goosebumps ! Led by guides who know the mountains and their trails inside out, you’ll experience the joys of tramping along and splashing about in complete safety.

Horseback riding

Kitesurfing

Swept continuously by the “trade winds”, the beaches of South Grande-Terre, well sheltered by their coral reef, are waiting to launch you !
