Hiking on Terre-de-Haut, Les Saintes Islands
During your stay in Guadeloupe, don't miss the Saintes Islands and the hike on Terre-de-Haut. These islands will make you want to extend your vacation!
A little paradise
To the south of Guadeloupe, take the boat from Trois-Rivières with CTM Deher to get to the paradise islands of Les Saintes in 20 minutes.
And you arrive in one of the most beautiful bays in the world!
Hike departure from Saintes Bay to Morne Morel
Departing from Terre-de-Haut, a village with colorful Creole houses and typical Antillean architecture, we follow the road towards Fort Napoleon.
We branch off towards Marigot Bay and then follow a marked trail by the Coastal Conservatory.
On the trail
On the islands of Les Saintes, the climate is arid. The trail is generally dry with many rocks.
You will have a little bit of elevation gain to get to the ridge trail.
The first panoramic view will be facing Fort Napoleon, with the Bay of the Saints in the background.
On the way, we will encounter some animals: goats roaming freely, iguanas, hermit crabs... A pond, full after the rainy season, is a lifesaver for all these animals.
And one more little push and we'll reach the Ridges. The view is 360° with Guadeloupe, La Désirade, and Marie-Galante on one side, and on the other, the island of Dominica and our archipelago of Les Saintes.
Fort Caroline
At the end of the Ridge, past the old cannon battery, we arrive at Fort Caroline, located on Morel hill.
Your guide is delighted to tell you the story of Caroline and the Chevalier de Fréminville, a sad story, our Romeo and Juliet.
Back in the village, take a stroll through the streets to discover the Creole architecture of the houses and the care taken in the harmony of colors.
A multitude of restaurants offer fresh fish on Fond Curé beach, where you might even see the fishermen.
You want to book A private guide.
If you wish to stay overnight in Les Saintes, we recommend The Little Villa of the Saints, with a panoramic view. Feel free to stay for about a week on your next visit.
Sleeping on Terre-de-Haut is a great way to discover the island in a different way!
