Ride & slide on a glass boat, Guadeloupe

This boat has a SLIDE!!! Say yes to sliding into your snorkel spot!!! Welcome aboard, Le Nautilus

This joy ride was super enjoyable. The distance between the beach and the Cousteau reserve is pretty short. As in, you can physically kayak over 😀 (real).

By this boat, we reached the reserve in 5min.30min snorkel – all equipment are included in the standard tariff ** it was only EUR25!!! Cairns (Australia), you’re totally over priced.

Okay, if you don’t want to swim / snorkel at all. You can also see a load of corals & fishes at the bottom of the boat; reason why this was marketed as ‘glass boat’.

There’s a free drink on board. Choice was between a Planteur (STRONG rhum based fruity cocktail) or fruit juice. Perhaps this skewed my judgement 😛

Tips

I highly recommend the last ride of the day for the sunset and calmness (less people)
There are 4 – 8 departures a day.
You can combo purchase the whale watching boat ride to save EUR10 (Les Heures Saines). Can buy this combo ticket from the Malendure beach booth.
