We found another couple and took a Taxi to the Botanical Gardens at Deshaires with a stop to see the Death in Paradise Police Station. Read Less

Not much to do around the port. Not clean, does not feel safe. Read Less

arranged our own shore excursion to see Death in Paradise locations Read Less

Did a Walkabout Read Less

Took a taxi from port to the place where "Death in Paradise "is filmed. Unfortunate the trip was spoilt by the dangerous female taxi driver. Read Less

Botanical gardens were beautiful, especially opportunity to feed baby parrots. Read Less

We already been extensively in Guadeloupe and it was heavily raining this time - unfortunately our experience with taxi drivers there is bad and the prices are very high - ideally take a car and make an island tour on your own but mind the heavy traffic when taking into account the return to ship Read Less

Would never go again. Taxi strike and couldn't go anywhere 70% of people were rude. Read Less

We took a cab to St. Anne's beach. It was a rainy type day, but still nice to go there. It was mostly just a lot of tourists. Water was nice, beach was nice, but I imagine if it was a hot sunny day it would have been very crowded. Read Less

Did our own thing, went downtown, a bit bohemian, as it was a Sunday most places were shut but I imagine it would be busy if on any other day. Raining downtown but got a cab to a beach roughly 30 mins away where it was sunny, as it was a Sunday all the locals were out so it was busy, OK though. Read Less

Very French island. Brush up on your French or you will have trouble getting around here. Read Less

Very good tour and beautiful gardens with a great tour guide. But.... Nothing that we could see to tell you they only took Euros and not dollars. Read Less

A little disappointing, we were a bit "beached out" by the time we arrived here so just walked into the local town. It was a bit run down and not as picturesque as the other islands. Also the port is very industrial. Read Less

We embarked and disembarked so didn't really visit the island. Read Less

The Slavery museum was outstanding. We also went to the cemetery, which was also fantastic to look at. Read Less

Thought we were going to the main island....ended up at Isles de Santes—very small and nothing to do. Beach was covered in seaweed and smelled terrible. Read Less

Plan on renting a golf cart or e-bike if you want to go anywhere here. Any of the beaches require pretty difficult navigation on foot from the road, and should not be attempted by people with bad knees. I have them. My knee dropped me in a doorway after we had walked all the way up and down the hill to the trailhead to Pain de Sucre. The island's medical team got me to the tender and the ship got me back aboard. I was grateful for their tremendous hospitality and the lovely shopkeeper at the Sucreier who called them for me. The island is beautiful and wild. Enjoy. Read Less

Terre-de-Haut: This was tender port which we had not visited before. Terre de Haut is a very tiny island. It is less than two and a half square miles. It has most of the population of the archipelago, but this population is less than 2000 souls. We took the tender in and spent some time watching the activity here. The place is a magnet for French tourists who want to spend time at the beach. Read Less

We took a transfer to this beach. This stop should be taken off the schedule. The beach was not nice and, I felt, not safe. Several people said the same thing about this beach. Read Less

Port A Pitre on a Sunday does not have much to offer. Most shops are closed. Also a port where many French speaking cruisers leave and join the cruise. Do visit the museum depicting the slave trade. Very impressive and moving. Read Less

We arrived a day early in Pointe-A-Pitre and toured the city on our own. After the cruise ended we stayed an additional four days and toured both islands by rental car. Read Less

we were only there till 2 pm. had to go to the clinic with someone who broke her wrist on the ship. spent from 8:30 am to 12:45 at the clinic. It' s not nice there. would not waste my money on a tour. Read Less

The port on this island needs repair, but I will not hold this against them. It is a great shame that we did not remember that this island is where they film the UK TV series Death in Paradise as we would have taken a trip out there to look around. Read Less

Least favorite port. All out of English maps at the tourist booth, everything was in French, heavy security at this port - police with dogs at disembarkation and many police on bikes. We could not find anything and ended up haggling for a few souvenirs and going back to the ship. I do recommend trying the Ti Punch at the last bar nearest the ship - beware - it is potent!! I learned of it in my pre-cruise research of this port. If you go to this port, get euros in advance!!! Taxi drivers do not accept US cash. Due to this, we were unable to visit the recommended restaurant we wanted to try. The spice market was a nice experience but we were unsure about what we could bring back onboard so we just enjoyed the sights and smells. Read Less

They could have skipped this place entirely. Read Less
