Book a rental car in Guadeloupe: Discover nature

Dream beaches, crystal clear, warm water, an intact underwater world and Caribbean joie de vivre await you on the butterfly-shaped island of Guadeloupe, which is only 1,628 km2 in size and has so far been spared from mass tourism. However, in order to explore the most beautiful corners of this Caribbean paradise on your own, it is advisable to rent a car, as your mobility with public transport is limited.

If you have chosen Pointe-a-Pitre as a starting point for your undertakings, then you have made a good choice, since you can set off with your rental car for various round trips on the somewhat larger island area of Basse Terre to the left or the somewhat smaller island area of Grande Terre to the right via the various roads leading along the coast.

Especially worth seeing are the many different bays, the waterfalls Carbet Falls and Cascade aux Ecrevisses in the interior, the Pointe des Chateaux (Saint Francois) or you take a detour to the volcano of the island and go on a walk through the impressive rainforest and be rewarded with the view over the island.
