The French overseas territory of Guadeloupe, located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean, is an archipelago with a rich history and culture and a vast diversity of natural beauty. The two principal islands are Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre. Grande-Terre is flatter and dryer, while the more mountainous Basse-Terre (the location of our 4x4 tours) boasts dry and humid forests, mangroves, grasslands, hot springs, waterfalls, sugar cane fields, coffee plantations, beautiful beaches with a variety of sand colors, as well as the Réserve Cousteau ( a protected 400 hectare marine area teaming with biodiversity). The beautiful National Park of Guadeloupe ("Parc National de la Guadeloupe" in french) is also located on Basse-Terre and covers both marine and land areas. The Park contains La Soufrière, an active volcano, as well as the Grand-Cul-de-sac-Marin, a large bay designated as a UNESCO international biosphere. Join Pélican Safari for a memorable and unique excursion to experience the wonders of Basse-Terre island.
