About the activity
Departing from Grande Anse d’Arlet Bay in the south-west of Martinique, this full-day catamaran excursion takes you to the best snorkeling spots in the area: Pointe Burgos, Anse Noire and Anse Dufour are prime locations to swim alongside marine turtles in Martinique. With a small group of just 10 to 12 passengers and a crew of 2 to 4, you’ll enjoy a personalised and memorable day at sea with a range of activities to choose from.
Throughout the trip, you can relax on the trampolines, jump into the water to snorkel with the turtles, or try stand-up paddleboarding. Snorkeling sites are typically 1 to 4 metres deep, where you may encounter green turtles and hawksbill turtles. With the Caribbean waters maintaining a pleasant 27–30°C year-round, conditions are ideal for a comfortable and enjoyable snorkeling experience.
For those seeking a deeper dive, there’s also the option to try scuba diving, whether a beginner’s trial, exploration dive, or even a short training session (supplement of €55, payable on site).
Whether you’re looking for a romantic outing with your partner, an unforgettable family adventure, or a day of underwater exploration, this catamaran excursion with turtle snorkeling at Les Anses-d’Arlet offers a truly unique experience you’ll never forget!
