Baie-Mahault walks
Birmingham’s sugar cane fields
An easy walk amongst mango trees and sugarcane fields, near Pointe-à-Pitre, in the centre of Guadeloupe. A favourite spot for joggers, cyclists and walkers who prefer to stick to the only tarmac road. Our route avoids this road and favours the quieter sugarcane farm tracks. There are plenty of views of the large marine cove.
The Pointe à Bacchus Discovery Trail
A short hike through savannahs, sugarcane fields, Creole gardens and woodland, with a few views of the sea and a brief stretch along the edge of the mangrove.
From Babin Beach to Vieux Bourg
A marked trail created by the local council through the mangroves and savannahs of Guadeloupe between the famous Babin Beach and the town of Vieux-Bourg, Morne-à-l'eau. Animals, shells and palm trees add to the charm of this walk.
Moustique Canyon from the Chemin de Trianon
This hike takes you along the Moustique River to Moustique Canyon. This beautiful canyon, sculpted by nature, allows you to swim and wade through the water up to its small waterfall. The water is shallow, so adults do not need to swim. You can enjoy the natural surroundings and tranquillity along the river.
Naca Ravine Waterfall
Naca Waterfall is situated on the ravine of the same name in the Muraille area of the commune of Sainte-Rose. The challenging route to reach this waterfall consists, in the first part, of a forest walk through vanilla plantations and past gigantic acomats; in the second part, of a water trek to discover the waterfalls and beautiful pools of this river; and finally, of the grand 30-metre waterfall.
Waterfalls of the Petite Lézarde River
In the heart of the rainforest, in Petit-Bourg, a river trek featuring waterfalls, gorges and cascading steps. It is a demanding trail, as it involves a lot of walking in the river, but in an exceptional setting.
Waterfalls and Ravine Bouteiller
A gem in the heart of the tropical forest: two waterfalls and a beautiful pool to discover. This circular route starts with a forest trail. Along the way, you will be immersed in the humid atmosphere and amazed by the majestic trees, the scent of incense, the wild orchids and the epiphytic plants.
The Saut des Trois Cornes
Hike through the Guadeloupean rainforest from the Sofaïa Sulphurous Spring to the Saut des Trois Cornes waterfall.
From Saline Beach to Petit Havre Beach
This fairly challenging walk takes you along Petit Havre Bay, keeping you in the shade under the trees whilst offering views at certain points. It’s an excellent way to keep fit.
From Port-Louis to Pointe Sable de Bar
A pleasant walk between the sea and the mangroves in an idyllic setting. The sea is like a lake as you are near the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. The path leads to several lovely little beaches. Mangroves are present throughout the route, along with other tropical species. Upon arrival on the other side of Pointe Sable de Bar, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the former Beautiran sugar cane loading port and the Petit-Canal dock. A long but easy walk.
Moreau Falls
This hike will take you into the heart of Guadeloupe's tropical rainforest. The trail leads to the Moreau Falls, where you can swim.
Access is prohibited by municipal decree until further notice due to an extremely high risk of rockfalls and mudslides. See here.
The old mill at Poyen
In the land of sugar cane, a very short walk through dry woodland, featuring a few majestic trees, a lovely pond and the ruins of a mill that once belonged to a former sugar estate.
Calvaire-Louisiane on the heights of Sainte-Anne
I suggest a short walk in the countryside on the heights of Sainte-Anne, in the Grands Fonds, which I call Calvaire-Louisiane. A somewhat hidden path where hills and valleys formed by rainwater runoff follow one another. Between the hills, a maze of dirt tracks links the villages. It won’t be circular, but rather a ‘lollipop’ with its stick. It may be slippery and muddy, but it’s often nicely shaded.
Morne Léger
Le Morne Léger won’t offer you a sweeping view, but the climb, which is not difficult, will treat you to the lovely atmosphere of a tropical forest.
Mamelle de Pigeon
A short climb to a summit located on the watershed between the Caribbean coast and the Atlantic coast of Basse-Terre. On a clear day, there are views of the sea on both sides.
The Saut d'Acomat
A very short hike that provides access to a waterfall and a swimming spot. Be careful, however, as the descent is steep and slippery if it has rained in the last few days.
The north coast of Basse-Terre
An easy hike along the coast, with truly delightful sea views and numerous places to swim.
From Clugny Beach to Anse Tillet
A lovely walk along the rugged northern coast of Basse-Terre. The route, which mainly runs through woodland and connects some beautiful beaches, allows you to spend the hottest hours of the day in the shade.
