Destination Boiling

Pointe des Châteaux at sunrise

At the eastern tip of Grande-Terre, Pointe des Châteaux is an iconic natural site that is definitely worth a visit, especially at sunrise. This magical moment, when the first rays of sunlight gild the rocks battered by the Atlantic waves, remains etched in your memory. A short hike of about 15 minutes leads to a large cross perched at the top of the cliff. From there, the panoramic view is spectacular : on one side the ocean as far as the eye can see, on the other the reliefs of Désirade, Petite-Terre, and even Marie-Galante on a clear day. It is a powerful place, full of energy and poetry, perfect for lovers of nature, photography, or simply beautiful moments. 👉 More info: lesilesdeguadeloupe.com

Trip Advisor

Hiking on the roof of Guadeloupe

Nicknamed "the Old Lady," Soufrière is the highest peak in the Lesser Antilles (1,467 m) and a still active volcano. Located in Basse-Terre. From the Bains Jaunes , where you can relax in a natural hot spring, a well-marked trail leads to the summit in about 1.5 to 2 hours . Once at the top, the panoramic view of the surrounding islands (Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, Dominica, etc.) is breathtaking — provided the clouds are clear! A must-see for lovers of wild nature .
