Joel is a very friendly captain who immediately puts us in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We explored Petite Terre, a nature reserve where we discovered iguanas, fish, turtles, and lemon sharks, and then La Désirade, which we explored after a delicious Caribbean lunch! We enjoyed Fifi Beach and a stroll through Beauséjour! We had a fantastic day!
Joël, the captain, is a very pleasant and funny person who knows how to put people at ease. We had a wonderful time aboard his boat, Love Paradis, enjoying a delicious breakfast followed by lunch on La Désirade. Joël took the time to share his knowledge of the islands, their flora and fauna, which made the experience even more enriching. We highly recommend this trip!
A wonderful day with a very attentive captain. The turtles and iguanas were there to greet us. We had a very good meal at the Rose Ita restaurant with a wide selection of dishes. The coconut flan is highly recommended. Don't hesitate to choose Love Paradise! Many thanks again to the captain!
