Nature-Adventure

Guadeloupe has embraced ecotourism. The archipelago offers stunning nature and pleasant landscapes, particularly on Basse-Terre with Guadeloupe National Park, home to the Soufrière volcano and the Carbet waterfalls. This is also where canyoning and aquatic hiking take place, and where experienced hikers can test themselves over several days on the GR G1 trails.

Culture

The island is a place where different races and origins have long blended. This is what shapes the local identity, best discovered in everyday life or during festivals and celebrations, rather than through monuments, museums, or historical material evidence, which are relatively scarce in the region.

Relaxation-Holidays

Guadeloupe is a top destination for beach tourism in the Caribbean, and those seeking seaside relaxation or beach holidays will find plenty to enjoy. However, the "hinterland" also has its share of discoveries to offer.

Independent Travel

Guadeloupe is a very easy destination for independent travel, perfect for first-time travellers.

Organised and All-Inclusive

Guadeloupe is widely featured in travel agencies, including regular promotions, though these tend to focus on specific offerings. You’ll mostly find all-inclusive packages or "flight + accommodation" deals, as well as cruises departing from or stopping in the island. Beyond that, few other types of services are available unless you contact local providers directly.

Gay and Lesbian Travellers

Homosexuality is not one of the most openly discussed topics in Guadeloupe and is only moderately tolerated by part of the population. In short, the destination is not particularly "gay-friendly."
