CHRISTINE’S TRIP
TO GUADELOUPE, FRANCE
7 NIGHTS/5 STOPS
Caribbean nature and wildlife.
“ During the spring season, Christine and her family travelled to Guadeloupe. They were looking for a paradisiac destination that is not too touristic, easy to organise, and cheap. Guadeloupe was the perfect match. You benefit from the French infrastructure but still enjoying the Caribbean atmosphere and climate. They climbed a Volcano in the wildest part of the island, Basse-terre, spent some time in the island’s remote jungles, and niched in a cozy villa by the water in Grande Terre. Their budget for the whole trip was around $ 1270 per person for 7 nights (excluded food and activities).»
