Day tours with a driver
Seven half-day or full-day routes starting from your accommodation. The vehicle and driver are yours for the planned duration: stretch a swim, skip a stop or add one.
Before you choose
Mainland Guadeloupe is two islands joined by a bridge. To the west, Basse-Terre: the volcano, the rainforest, the waterfalls and the calm sea of the leeward coast. To the east, Grande-Terre: a limestone plateau, lagoons, beaches and the northern cliffs. Doing both in one day means spending it in the car.
Our tours fit in a day, with no overnight stay. We provide the transport; entrance fees, meals and activities are yours to choose and pay on the spot.
The schedules are starting points, refined with you when you book according to where you are staying, the ages of the passengers and the opening days of the sites.
