Itinerary

Pointe-a-Pitre

one hour

From the Cruise terminal, you first enter the old town of Pointe-à-Pitre. During a guided walk, you will pass by the most important sites in the centre. Pointe-à-Pitre is considered the cultural and economic centre of the island and has a long history. As you stroll through the streets of this quiet port city, you’ll learn more about its fascinating past from your local guide and admire some of the colonial-style buildings.

You’ll immerse yourself in the island’s oldest spice market and have free minutes to visit them at your leisure. It’s the perfect place to discover and buy local spices, and explore stalls brimming with tropical fruits, local crafts and rums flavoured with exotic spices. It’s a great opportunity to take home authentic souvenirs and sample the richness of Guadeloupe’s produce. Your guide will introduce you to some of the local flavours on this walking tour.
Ilet Du Gosier

one hour Admission included

After this walking tour of Pointe-à-Pitre, you will head for the small uninhabited island of Gosier. You will board a motorboat and reach the island after a short crossing. This verdant island, located off the coast of Gosier, south of Grand-Terre, is a paradise of exceptionally clear water, fine sand and tropical palm trees. The island is easy to explore, so you can first get an overview on a short tour with your guide, then enjoy some free time. If you wish, you can take a dip in the refreshing water or simply sit back and enjoy the enchanting view. Spend your time as you please! You can enjoy cocktails made with local rum in the unique restaurant. Your guide will be happy to advise you.
Sainte-Anne

1 h 30 min

Back on the mainland, you continue your journey to Sainte-Anne. This small town is famous for its sandy beach, one of the most beautiful on the island. You have around an hour and a half of free time, which you can use as you wish. Recharge your batteries while the Caribbean sun shines on your belly, swim in the pleasantly warm crystal-clear sea and sit on the fine sand to relax to your heart's content and enjoy the atmosphere. Meanwhile, you can stroll along the beach and buy delicious cocktails or snacks from the local beach bars.

Finally, you will meet your guide at the agreed time and return to Pointe-à-Pitre, where you will be taken back to the cruise port on time.
