Tom and Raphael were excellent guides on our 1/2 day snorkeling trip. They provided useful instructions on how to use the snorkeling equipment for the people with no experience. They divided us into to two groups so the stronger swimmers and more experienced snorkelers could have a different experience than the newbies.

While snorkeling I saw a Moray eel, a small grouper, different types of coral and multiple types of colourful fish I couldn't name.

We stopped at Ilet Caret and cruised through the mangroves.

Great day! Wear lots of sunscreen and a hat.

The snorkeling part wasn't amazing, the rest of the tour is really nice, and the guide is quite good, specially with the natural life explanations. I would really recommend this tour.

Guide spoke excellent English and did a great job explaining the town, scenery, and nature on the boat ride out to Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. However, the snorkeling was relatively brief and only in one section of the reef. Difficult currents and waves made it challenging for weak swimmers although fine for strong swimmers. While snorkeling, there is no guidance at all about the type of fish you're seeing, and you're all just blindly trying to follow the guide...difficult underwater when you can't put your head up without possibly damaging the reef with your fins! Very frustrating. A second stop at a tiny sand island was picturesque but felt mostly like a party island to have a drink of rum...no good snorkeling there. If you can only snorkel once in Guadeloupe, I STRONGLY recommend doing the Jacques Cousteau Reserve off the west coast of Basse-Terre instead. It is worth the drive!! MUCH more fish and coral and, at least when we went, much calmer water.
