Sailing across the Canal des Saintes, past Vieux Fort Lighthouse, gives a great perspective of “La Souffrière”, Basse-Terre’s active volcano; witness clouds slowly disperse to reveal an enticing view of the volcano.

The bay also provides a perfect place to use as a base for those who want to do some land-based exploring. A track leads up to the main road and a nice hike up to "Le Chameau", to the old lookout tower at the top. A small secluded beach is in the other direction, past "Le Bois Joli". If further hikes sound appealing, bring along good shoes and your camera, for the grand views are numerous, breathtaking and well worth recording.

On Departure Day, after a last tasty breakfast on board, it is time to gather your belongings and say goodbye to the crew before arranging transport to the airport. We hope you leave with incredible memories of your week in Guadeloupe.
