Top 3 things to do
1 - Swim with sea turtles
Swimming with sea turtles is something you can do in Guadeloupe, but it is illegal to touch or disturb them in any way, so be careful not to scare them away or annoy them. This video was taken during our trip to Petite-Terre.
2 - Hugging the cliffs while hiking
You can find some of the best views of Guadeloupe from the cliffs. They are also an ideal place for hiking and swimming, as well as for observing sea turtles. The cliffs are dangerous; you should never approach them without a local guide who knows how to navigate the terrain safely.
3 - Bathe in a hot spring waterfall
You have different sources of hot water including:
- Thomas's natural hot spring
- The Dole bath
- The bath of love
