Explore the underwater flora and fauna of the lagoon and mangrove swamps on a snorkelling trip in the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, departing from Le Gosier!

Adventurous friends, what would you say to discovering Guadeloupe's biodiversity on a snorkelling trip to the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, departing from Le Gosier? For those of you who don't know, snorkelling is free diving with a mask and snorkel, often accompanied by a water scooter to make it easier to move around and save on oxygen loss, so you can make the most of the aquatic spectacle before your eyes!

Departing from Le Gosier, opposite the Guadeloupe Aquarium, you will be accompanied by Seatour's state-qualified diving instructors, who will guide you and help you discover the extraordinary wealth of the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, in the heart of the Guadeloupe National Park!

On this snorkelling excursion to the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, the Seatour team will take you on a half-day trip to discover the mangrove swamps and lagoon! Comfortably seated aboard the Ecotour, a 12-metre motor catamaran, you'll set off to explore the nature reserve of the Guadeloupe National Park. A place extremely rich in biodiversity and fragile in the face of climate change, you'll have the pleasure of discovering the mangrove swamps and crystal-clear waters of the lagoon in the Baie du Grand Cul-de-sac marin... and that's not all, if you keep your eyes wide open, you'll discover the islets, underwater meadows and the largest coral reef in the Lesser Antilles! What's more, at the heart of this shelter, thousands of multicoloured fish will keep you company as you snorkel into the water, making for superb memories of this boat trip!

What's more, the Ecotour catamaran offers you the chance to sail sheltered by the coral reef, in a lagoon with calm waters and relatively short sailing times between two stops... you won't get seasick! On this snorkeleing excursion to the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, you'll take up to two snorkelling trips (equipment provided, but you're free to bring your own), giving you half a day's happiness in the company of Guadeloupe's fish!

Please note: this snorkelling excursion to the Grand Cul-de-sac marin is open to anyone who can swim. In other words, your instructors will adapt to your level and accompany you to ensure your safety and answer any questions you may have during this half-day trip.

Whether you're on your own, with friends or family, discover shallow underwater life (0 to 3 m) in complete tranquillity, in the heart of the protected ecosystem of the Guadeloupe National Park, during the snorkelling excursion to the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, departing from Le Gosier!
