Fantastic boat trip. We explored the mangroves, visited Îlet Caret, went snorkeling near a cave, and enjoyed drinks in the water. A perfect experience.
The crew was very friendly and well-organized. The meals served on board were good quality. My only regret was the quality of the visits to Marie-Galante. The distillery and the plantation house deserved more explanation.
