Embark on an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the lagoon, among pristine sandbanks, unspoiled islets, coral reefs, and turquoise mangroves. Throughout the tour, your captain will tell you the amazing story of the area and help you observe the wildlife while respecting this delicate ecosystem. There will be several swimming and snorkeling breaks to discover picture-perfect landscapes.

Your route:

Stop 1 — L'Îlet Blanc (without disembarking)
Discover a mysterious white sand islet... that appeared in a single night. You'll learn about its incredible history and its key role in the reproduction of an endangered species.

Stop 2 — L'îlet aux oiseaux
Head for a mangrove islet where many bird species nest. Observation and explanations of their behavior and unique characteristics.

Stage 3 — Snorkeling at the shipwreck
First snorkel on a steel shipwreck about 17 m long, just below the surface. For more than 50 years, it has been home to a spectacular biotope, a true refuge for a multitude of species.

Stage 4 — The coral reef
Get close to the barrier reef and learn how it protects the lagoon and is home to an abundance of marine life.

Stop 5 — The natural pool
A dream spot: shallow turquoise water (waist high), about 3 km from the coast, surrounded by small coral reefs. You can observe corals, anemones, tree sponges, and tropical fish.

Stop 6 — Swimming in the coastal mangrove
Last swim in the middle of the lagoon: white sand bottom, turquoise water up to the knees... and yet in the middle of the mangrove. Before you get in the water, everything is explained so you can better understand this ecosystem and appreciate its richness.

Stage 7 — The Carénage islets (from the boat)
Exploration of denser mangrove islets with a very special history. Observe the inhabitants from the boat.
