Another huge thanks for all this info! 🙂

Yeah, sorry—I didn’t realize these beaches were in Martinique and not Guadeloupe 😐

Thanks so much for your tips!

Thanks!

In Martinique, where can we find great snorkeling spots that aren’t too deep for kids?

I just added another possible destination: Sri Lanka. A good idea for easy snorkeling with kids at the end of December?

Thanks so much for your reply.

In Guadeloupe or Martinique, is it also possible to do some great snorkeling from the beach without going too deep?

Hi dear Voyage Forum community,

So glad this precious forum still exists!

I’d love some advice on choosing a Christmas destination for a trip with my partner and our two kids, aged 10 and 12.

We’re looking for a place where we can enjoy great, easy snorkeling with the kids—ideally from the beach or in shallow water.

And if possible, a beautiful spot to explore, with nature, hikes, and a more laid-back, backpacker-friendly vibe than big resorts or mass tourism.

A "reasonable" flight time and not too much jet lag would be ideal!

I’ve been considering Mauritius, Zanzibar (plus possibly Tanzania), Martinique, or Guadeloupe—but maybe you have other suggestions or thoughts on these options?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
