Pointe-Noire walks

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.

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.

Hike through the Guadeloupean rainforest from the Sofaïa Sulphurous Spring to the Saut des Trois Cornes waterfall.

An easy hike along the coast, with truly delightful sea views and numerous places to swim.

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. 

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.

A short hike in the forest to discover a very pretty waterfall that is ideal for swimming.

Starting from the Beausoleil picnic area at the foot of La Soufrière, this waterfall is located between the Trace Delgrès and Rivière Noire. Start at the Trace Delgrès to discover this unique, fairly high waterfall. On the way back, take a detour to the first Rivière Noire pool for a superb reward.

A demanding hike on the slopes of La Soufrière, combining volcanoes, spectacular landscapes and historical discovery with the DC-3 wreck. The section leading to the wreck is the most complicated, very muddy and technical, requiring balance and endurance, while the rest of the route is more accessible. This hike is not suitable for non-athletes or those unaccustomed to challenging terrain, but it offers incredible views and unique memories for those who dare to venture there.

Climb the Vieille Dame via the traditional route and return via the Col de l'Échelle, then finish the hike with a nice hot bath at the Bains Jaunes. Please note that a large section of this route is currently closed due to the risk of rockfalls and increased volcanic activity.

This hike takes you to La Soufrière, the highest point in Guadeloupe and a dormant volcano. In good weather, the view is magnificent. At the summit, you can truly appreciate the power that lies beneath your feet. Please note that a large section of this trail is currently closed due to the risk of rockfalls and increased volcanic activity.

Take a refreshing dip at the foot of the Galion waterfall before tackling the climb up the Armistice trail towards the cistern. Please note that this hike takes around 4 hours.

A walk through the tropical forest and, after a long effort, you will be rewarded at the foot of the two 100-metre-high waterfalls.

This trail is not very well known. It is located in the commune of Capesterre-Belle-Eau. It will take you through banana fields before descending to the Sainte-Marie River at a beautiful pool, which you will walk up a little way as it is very pretty, then on to Ravine Zombi. Then, retrace your steps and continue down the river to discover the two Zombi waterfalls, recognisable by the two vertical tree trunks that have been there for years. You can take a much quieter lunch break in front of them.

A short hike through the rainforest to admire the last Carbet waterfall, which plunges into a large pool and invites you to take a dip.

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.

In Capesterre, a site that is not yet well known but is so original, waterfalls cascade onto the black sand beach that glistens in the sun. There is spectacular access along a cliff on a narrow path, but don't panic if you're afraid of heights, as it is possible to go around the other side, which is like a canyon equipped with ropes. The place is magnificent.

This hike offers the opportunity to explore a fascinating wetland environment, the mangrove, via a partially developed trail that requires a good sense of direction. It is complemented by a coastal route with several opportunities for swimming and lends itself to several variations, including one that avoids the mangrove...
