Tips & Tops Self-drive island hopping Gaudeloupe:

  • Experience an unforgettable sunset from a catamaran along the north coast of Basse-Terre
  • Climb the La Soufrière volcano, the highest mountain peak in the Lesser Antilles at 1467 meters high
  • On Grande-Terre, take an excursion by sea bike to discover the Grand Cul-De-Sac Marin nature reserve
  • On Basse-Terre, look for the rare Guadeloupe raccoon and spot the most colorful tropical birds such as the iconic hummingbird
  • On the island of Les Saintes you do not have a rental car, indeed no motorized transport is allowed. Optionally, you can rent an electric bike or golf cart; the island is so small that everything is within walking distance from the port
  • Stay in a bungalow on the beach of Basse-Terre at the Langley Resort Fort Royal
  • Gaze out over the Caribbean Sea from the luxurious La Toubana Hotel & Spa on Grande-Terre
