BLUE

The sea is just as you expect it. Warm, accessible easily and with great visibility. There are many spots to go scubadiving or just snorkelling, so take your mask and tuba...

While on Grande Terre you will find great white beaches, like coming from catalogues, on Basse Terre, you will find not less great black beaches full of volcanic sand.

Tropical forest in Basse Terre

Especially the island of Basse Terre consists of high mountains and ancient (and one still active) volcanoes filled with tropical humid forest. As the high peaks catch the clouds and the rain, the vegetation is everywhere and the island is really green
