Guadeloupe
ISLAND-HOP
Hop through the Guadeloupe islands and enjoy a
vacation like no other. All of the islands are located
no more then 45 minutes away from each other
and the two largest islands, Grande Terre and Basse
Terre are connected by a bridge, making movement
between the two, fast and easy.

The other islands are accessed by ferry with
a round trip costing about 25 to 45 Euros per
person.
You can travel around the islands easily by bus
or cab. The cabs are metered and an additional
40% surcharge will be added to your fare when
travelling between the hours of 9:00 pm and 7:00
am, every day. If the cab is not metered, ensure
that you have agreed on a fare with the driver
prior to leaving. And, your driver may or may not
be fully conversant with English so write your
destination on a piece of paper for ease of travel.
