Explore the underwater fauna and flora of the lagoon and mangrove of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin by snorkeling, a perfect outing with family or friends!

Starting from the Aquarium of Guadeloupe in Le Gosier, let yourself be guided by Seatour's state-certified diving instructors who will accompany you and help you discover the extraordinary richness of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, in the heart of the National Park of Guadeloupe.

Seatour takes you for a half-day dedicated to snorkeling and discovering the mangrove and the lagoon aboard the Ecotour, a 12-meter long motor catamaran, to explore the natural reserve of the Guadeloupe National Park. You will have the pleasure to discover the mangrove and the crystal clear waters of the lagoon of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, as well as its islets, its underwater meadows and the biggest coral reef of the Lesser Antilles. This shelter of thousands of multicolored fish will leave you with great memories of this boat trip!

Sailing in the shelter of the coral reef, in a lagoon with calm waters and with relatively short navigation times between two stops, you will not get seasick! You will go on up to two snorkeling trips (equipment provided, but you are free to bring your own), accessible to anyone who knows how to swim and which will allow you to live a half-day of happiness in the company of the fish of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin. The instructors will adapt to your level and will accompany you to ensure your safety and answer all your questions.

You will discover the shallow underwater life (0 to 3 m) in the heart of the preserved ecosystem of the natural reserve of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin of Guadeloupe!
