Les Anses-d'Arlet: Catamaran Trip with Turtle Watching
Departure at 8:30 am with a small group from the Grande Anse pontoon, where we greet you with a coffee aboard the sailboat before setting off to our first destination, typically between Pointe Lézarde and Pointe Burgos. We provide everything for your comfort and safety: shorty wetsuits (3 mm), fins, regular or full-face masks, signaling buoys, and buoyancy aids for less confident swimmers. For those looking for more excitement, we offer bottle diving and exploration dives. Here are the options: - Classic Baptism (20-25 minutes): A relaxed introduction for first-time divers. - XXL Baptism (40-45 minutes): For athletic adventurers or those with previous experience. - Double Dive (2 x 20-25 minutes): Two dives, perfect for beginners to share the experience with a friend, partner, or child. A dedicated instructor guides each participant for personalized attention. - Exploration Dive: For certified divers, we offer guided dives within your certification limits. After diving, enjoy our catamaran's aquatic play area: - Tarzan Jump: For thrill-seekers, leap into the refreshing waters with our Tarzan swing! - Hammocks: Relax and enjoy the surroundings, gently rocked by the sea. - Water Swing: Sit with your feet in the water—perfect for chilling and taking Instagram photos. For more fun, you can try an underwater scooter (extra fee), a thrilling way to glide through the water and discover marine life in a unique way. Around noon, we head to our second site, typically behind Bourg des Anses d'Arlet, where you can enjoy a picnic or opt for the full meal offered onboard the catamaran (extra fee). Our meal includes appetizer, first dish, main course, dessert, coffee, and drinks. We serve a BBQ with grilled fish (usually tuna) or chicken and offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Feel free to bring your own picnic if preferred. In the afternoon, we launch two stand-up paddleboards for a peaceful ride on the water and the chance to go snorkeling with turtles. You’ll encounter green turtles and hawksbill turtles, and our team will explain how to identify these species and share insights on their behavior and life cycles. We leave the turtle paradise around 3 p.m., taking a brief motor ride back to Grande Anse with the catamaran. We’ll offer a glass of friendship before dropping you off at 4 p.m., leaving you with unforgettable memories of an amazing day.
