4.5 based on 155 reviews
For those people who really want to get away from it all, this former leper colony is the least visited island in the Guadeloupe archipelago.

I had found La Desirade at the Pointe des chateaux. At the top of the Pointe, they indicated on a map that that the islands were La Desirade. Many among us did the same. One said: "It is so cool!" Worthwhile to see!
2. La Soufriere Volcano

The highest mountain in the lesser Antilles is also a volcano and an important landmark of Guadeloupe's landscape.

We never made it to the top because Mother Nature got in the way with wind, rain, fog. Still the effort was satisfying and the occasional breaks in the weather allowed us to see spectacular vistas of countryside and the Caribbean. Not for the faint of heart but well worth the effort. As others have said this is a climb, especially the last portion, and coming down is definitely more difficult if the weather is bad. Good footwear, layers of clothing and water are a necessity.

You know you need lots of vacation photos, so why not take them here? These three waterfalls showcase the natural beauty of the tropical landscape.

We parked the car at the end of the Carbet road where the trail to the third fall starts. Trekking with a 9yr and a 4yr-old kid took about an hour, but could have been done in say half an hour if we'd been adults alone. The trek through the tropical forest was very nice. Forget the slippers and opt for good walking shoes. The third fall is the lowest, but is well worth the visit, as the flow is substantial and falls straight down in the pool which gives free water massage for those who are courageous enough to cross the pond and get hundreds of liters of water poured down per second on top of you. I continued the trek with my 9yr-old for the second fall but turned around appx half-way since my kid was tired (and he wanted to go back to the inn where a well-chrorinated pool was waiting... Kids...) All in all, it's a great way to spend half a day, and don't forget your picnic.

We stayed two nights on the Island, It is lovely! - be prepared to walk or hire bikes or scooters (But these are too noisy!) - take your time to visit Fort Napoleon - really interesting but leave to get there early as it gets so hot! Don't bother with Pain du Sucre Beach, instead head for Les Pompiers - it has palms, picnic benches and the most beautiful bay! Even Swimming on the beach at Anse du Fonde is lovely, followed up by breakfast at one of the Boulangeries - Wonderful Experience

If you are looking for a perfect catalogue-like beach, then that`s the correct choice. Crystal clear water, white sand and coconut trees are the real caribbean treasure.

Nice place for a walk and full of exotic animals. It rained while we were there, but there were enough sheltered viewing spots that we were able to dodge the rain and still visit with the animals. Cages seemed spacious and sheltered from the heat. Featured a bridge walk that overlooked some of the enclosures, while also providing a fun diversion especially for the kids.

Took a drive out to the Pointe, parked on the roadside and then climbed along the well made path to the tip - Great views and lovely to see - Amazing seeing the Rock formations in the Cliff and then afterwards, checking out the Rock Pools and fish! We tried the Coconut Ice Cream for the first time there - It was Gorgeous - No Alcohol and really refreshing! - you really do need to try it whenever you see them mixing it by the roadside lay-by's
