Close to the coral reef, directly above a shipwreck
Sailing in the morning, with a cup of coffee and cookies to get you comfortable. A gentle start, accompanied by the natural sound of water lapping against the hull of our sailboat.
Our adventure will allow us to encounter the first signs of the Guadeloupe National Park ecosystem in the lagoon: garfish that seem to run across the water, terns, egrets, pelicans, and frigatebirds. Dolphins and turtles may also make an appearance. When we reach the end of the lagoon, near the coral reef, you will have the opportunity, if you wish, to swim above a shipwreck to discover the secrets of Caribbean wildlife in detail.
Close to the small mangrove islets, Îlets de la Biche
After a quick homemade juice, we set off again to sail between the shallows of the lagoon. It's a magical moment: we glide silently through increasingly shallow waters, while flora and fauna pass beneath our hull. We perform a few maneuvers as a crew if you are willing. Soon, we arrive at an anchorage to pick up a buoy, because on TI-BO, we never use the anchor so as not to damage the seabed. You will see for yourself: the seagrass beds are almost everywhere.
In this spot, sheltered from the prevailing winds, you can try your hand at paddleboarding in complete peace of mind. The boards are tethered to the boat for your safety, and life jackets are available. In this ideal location for enjoying some peace and quiet between dives, I will offer you a local or homemade juice, or a planteur cocktail. The sailboat is versatile, and I will set up tables for your picnic... everything is taken care of.
Back to sailing, passage to Caret Islet
Once everyone has enjoyed the stopover, we set sail again. We navigate our course with winds that are often stronger than in the morning and seas that remain calm. That's the advantage of the lagoon!
Short trip near Caret Islet, a turtle nesting site, and return to our dock at 4:00/4:15 p.m.
