Explore All the Diverse and Fascinating Islands in Guadeloupe by Yacht Charter

Posted by Bruce Trulio on February 9th, 2018

Yacht charters are always an exciting way to explore less visited islands. If you are planning a Caribbean tour and would like to explore all that Guadeloupe has to offer, booking a yacht charter or cruise might just be the perfect way to enjoy your holiday. Guadeloupe is a sought-after Caribbean destination known for its diverse adventure offerings. Distinctive for its butterfly shape that is divided smack in the middle by a narrow channel known as the Salt River, the island is perfectly bisected in half, with each side offering its own unique yacht character and exciting opportunities for adventure.

On Guadeloupe’s south-eastern wing or Grand-Terre is Pointe-à-Pitre, the largest city on the island and Guadeloupe’s center of tourism. If you want something more raw and untouched, head on over to Basse-Terre to the west, a less developed area that is home to a national park. On land, you’ll see lush sugarcane fields and superb rainforests, populated by many rare endemic birds and animals. Offshore, you’ll see many natural treasures unique to Guadeloupe, from multicolor coral forests to a diverse mix of marine life. Guadeloupe has, over the years, captivated nature lovers, divers, snorkelers, and holidaymakers looking for nature adventures.

Other popular attractions you shouldn’t miss on a visit to Guadeloupe include:

• The iconic Crayfish waterfall and its dipping pools
• The 350-footCarbet waterfall in Basse Terre
• The world-renowned Jacques Cousteau Underwater Reserve, located near the Pigeon Island
• The neighboring islands of Petite Terre, Les Saintes, La Désirade, and Marie Galante

A first class sailing destination, Guadeloupe has everything you could ever wish for in a cruise location, from inland adventures to offshore treasures, and lots of neighboring islands to explore. For the intrepid adventurers, venture to the Soufrière, an active volcano that offers stunning views over the island.
