Further information will be provided at a later date.
STOP 1: CRAYFISH WATERFALL AND NATIONAL PARK
It’s here, in the heart of the Guadeloupe National Park, that your visit begins. After a 5-minute walk, your driver-guide will accompany you to the magnificent Crayfish Waterfall. Your driver-guide will also introduce you to the flora and fauna of Guadeloupe. This waterfall, located in the national park, is a magnificent natural spectacle. You’ll have a few minutes to swim and enjoy the fresh, natural water in this dream setting. Don’t forget your camera.
STOP 2: GUADELOUPE ZOO IN THE MAMELLES PARK
We’re continuing our trip to Guadeloupe Zoo in the Parc des Mamelles. This 4-hectare park is dedicated to the conservation of exceptional or endangered animal species in Guadeloupe. During your visit, you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of the species present in the park. Walks through the zoo follow signposted paths. A short trip through the canopy on a 30-metre suspension bridge will give you the chance to discover the local flora and observe the animals present in the Parc des Mamelles in Guadeloupe. The whole family can go for a walk and discover the animals in the park. Please note: the cost of this visit is €17.50 for adults and €12 for children (aged 3 to 12), and is at your own expense.

You can then relax with an hour and a half’s swim on the volcanic sandy beach of Malendure. Bouillante beach is renowned for its magnificent seabed. It is the gateway to the famous Cousteau reserve, a marine protected area renowned for its coral reefs and abundant marine life. The beach is also an excellent spot for snorkelling. The coral reefs are easily accessible just a short distance from the beach. There are restaurants and food trucks on the beach where you can sample local specialities.
