Great fun way to see the Cousteau Marine Reserve - Excellent experience. It was so much fun to be able to go on our own at our own pace. They are very friendly and organised. It is so easy to hook the boat up to the buoys at the different spots. The trickiest bit is getting back to shore after tying up. There is a bit of a drop off just where the waves crash and we had a few hilarious moments. Absolutely loved our day and recommend

A Perfect Boat Adventure - We had a fantastic experience renting this small boat for four hours — truly one of the highlights of our visit to Guadeloupe. The navigation was easy and intuitive, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the day on the water. We had an absolute blast snorkeling and exploring the Cousteau reserve. We saw lots of colorful fish and several beautiful sea turtles! Having the freedom to move at our own pace made the experience even more relaxing and fun. Overall, this was one of our best experiences during our trip, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Guadeloupe.

A treat! - A 4h getaway at sea! Between the sun, the boat only for us and the varieties observed... a treat! Okay, a little stir around the island but nothing very worrying. Explanations given before departure clear and small planter on return (luck of the end of the day 😊), great time. Thank you very much.

Do this! - Lovely day on the water. Boat has plenty of shade. Staff was great. Others went on group tour to this same spot in large boats, we had areas all to ourselves for snorkeling and relaxing. 100% worth the money!

Pleasant discovery of the Cousteau reserve - Very nice activity, the boats are easily handled, the reserve is superb. The hirer explains everything about safety and the buoys to moor. But just because it’s explained doesn’t mean that you have to become a pro in a few hours and the renter has been more than once sarcastic and mocking (and it wasn’t said in the tone of humor unfortunately). Customer relationship to review, otherwise it was very good.

OK but be vigilant - Super nice rental, very easy to steer boat, breathtaking scenery. Loan of equipment, good explanations given but you absolutely must listen very well. But particularly dangerous in one part of the course, the current was so powerful that it was impossible for me to return to the boat. Luckily an experienced diver accompanying a group understood my distress and came to my rescue. He told me that without fins, that day, this place of pigeon island was impassable so strong the current was. So be really careful!
