Snorkeling in Guadeloupe: Swim with Turtles & Waterfalls
Swim with turtles at sunset, then keep the photos and drone footage to prove it.
A full-day snorkeling and hiking tour on Grande-Terre Island combines six to seven landmark stops (waterfalls, black sand beaches, banana plantations, natural hot springs and a volcano viewpoint) with mask-and-snorkel time alongside sea turtles. Small groups of four to eight people move at a pace that suits families with young children or older travelers, and you leave with professional photos and drone video of the day.

The experience
The day moves through contrasting landscapes: you hike to a waterfall and swim on site, walk through banana fields with 360-degree views across Guadeloupe and the neighboring islands of Saintes and Marie Galante, and stand at the Soufrière volcano viewpoint. The black sand beach is a natural wonder, and the avenue of more than 400 royal palm trees frames the route between stops. A natural spa with hot baths breaks up the walking, and the snorkeling happens at sunset with an aperitif served while you're in the water.
Snorkeling equipment is provided, so you arrive with nothing but a swimsuit. Lunch at a local restaurant includes tastings of Guadeloupe specialties, and snacks are built into the day. The group stays small, four to eight people, which means the guide can adjust the pace and which stops you prioritize based on mobility, age or what you most want to see. Children from age two are welcome, and infants can travel in a stroller.
The defining difference is what you take home: the operator shoots photos and drone video throughout the day, so you get professional-grade images and aerial footage of the waterfalls, the views, the turtles and the sunset. That's the option you choose at checkout. The other option excludes the photos and video.
Is this one for you?The small group size means the guide adapts stops and pacing to what you want to see and your mobility, so families with young children, older travelers and mixed-fitness groups all fit the same day without compromise.
