You will be greeted by Suzanne, a native of Spain who has lived here for 20 years and is married to a Guadeloupean. She will share with you her love... see+ for the island, its traditions and its local specialities. After a short presentation on the history of the Saintes archipelago, you'll follow Suzanne along a short but rocky path to the viewpoint of the Pain de Sucre. Here you can gaze out over the third most beautiful bay in the world and take panoramic photos. A little further on, you'll discover a small chapel. Once you've returned from this incredible viewpoint, you'll head back to the hotel to begin your gastronomic journey. Suzanne will treat you to classic French dishes such as foie gras or magret de canard, but with a local twist and using products from the region. The use of tropical fruits and spices will give a Caribbean flavour to this gastronomic experience. You'll also enjoy local drinks such as traditional syrups and punches. Your tasting session will end with local sweets. After this delicious time, you'll have an hour to relax on the hotel's beach and swim in its crystal-clear waters. This excursion involves very little walking in terms of distance (maximum 1 km), but over very uneven and rocky terrain, with gradients and steps. We recommend that you wear comfortable walking shoes, protect yourself from the sun and wear your swimming costume under your clothes, as well as taking a towel and your water bottle from the ship. Tastings are included in the tour. Deckchairs and parasols will be provided free of charge on the beach. This excursion is limited to 14 participants.

From the dock, you will board your coach for a one-hour drive to the village of Touna Aute. The Kalinago, formerly known as the Caribbean Territory or the Caribbean Reserve, is a special district in Dominica. It covers an area of 15 square kilometers and was... see+ established to gather the indigenous Caribbean people (or Kalinagos) who inhabited the Caribbean archipelago before the arrival of Europeans. Enjoy an exciting and educational visit to the Kalinago village of Touna Aute, located on the northeast coast of the island, extending to the Pagua River. Touna Aute is surrounded by spectacular mountains and is home to one of the island’s endemic parrot species, the Jaco parrot or red-necked Amazon (Amazonia arausiaca). Upon arrival, a former Kalinago Chief will welcome you and share more about the history of the Kalinago people and the community. Your tour will continue with a short guided walking tour where you will discover some of the community’s houses. You will have the opportunity to learn about the techniques used to cultivate Kalinago food and make cassava bread.

Finally, you will return to your coach and your ship after an hour’s drive. This excursion involves easy walking.
