About this activity

Embark on a unique adventure that combines sailing and snorkeling in one of Guadeloupe’s must-see destinations: the archipelago of Les Saintes. With a small group of up to 9 people, this excursion departing from the Rivière-Sens Marina in Gourbeyre, near Basse-Terre, offers an incredible day to share with loved ones.

Enjoy an authentic, nearly 9-hour adventure, far from the tourist crowds. Learn the basics of sailing aboard the Inko, an 11.5-meter monohull captained by a professional, friendly skipper.

After experiencing the thrill of open water and sailing, you’ll appreciate the calm, charm, and clear waters of Les Saintes. You’ll enjoy views of this stunning archipelago from the sea, with two snorkeling stops in turquoise waters: one at Pain de Sucre and another above a shipwreck.

A delicious Creole lunch will be served onboard in the shaded outdoor seating area. Admire the landscapes and unwind during a motorized tour. A restroom and deck shower are available for your comfort.
