Guided hike to the Cousteau reserve with Adélaïde.
Very passionate, she passed on to us her knowledge of the seabed populated by corals, tropical fish and turtles. She adapts and pays attention to everyone's well-being during the hike. Superb experience and wonder in our eyes.
Very nice outing. I recommend.

We spent a rainy morning discovering the ravages of man on animals, plants and minerals that do not require this.
Superb support, but I fear that it will make us abandon these visits which will only add to the damage previously mentioned.
Thank you in all cases for these magnificent moments!

Superb snorkeling on February 14 with Adélaïde. Everything is done so that non-swimmers can enjoy the buoys as much as others. The explanations are really interesting and open to reflection on our environment.
Great outing this morning with Adelaide. Very professional, I was a little apprehensive and everything went well, the buoys are a plus so you can hold on when you get tired or are not comfortable
Extraordinary outing accompanied by Sébastien, a guide convinced of the need to preserve the seabed and its biodiversity! At the top we learned a lot of things and we were amazed! Thank you 😊
Superb outing in the middle of a life-size aquarium.
The guide is well worth 5 stars: she is passionate and fascinating, we learned so much in just one morning. Many thanks.
The only downside: the formation of groups for the excursion; we found ourselves with a family in difficulty and very uncomfortable with the marine environment, which slowed down or even penalized the progress of the entire group.

A superb morning in the company of Adelaide our guide Even if we did not remember all the names of the fish she gave us, her explanations were very clear and precise. Another big thank you Adelaide
Had a great little snorkeling trip with Adelaide. Very good, well maintained and powerful rib. Saw several large green turtles feeding. Told off for diving down near to them as apparently that scares them as they think you are a predator. Similarly, if you fin flap over them or move towards them when they come up to breathe, which is obvious, but I saw lots of unguided snorkelers doing it.
Sadly the Cousteau reserve is not in a good condition. Partly because of the sheer numbers of tourists, but also because of the pollution and soil degradation and run off. You can see where the corals have been damaged by fins. There should be some kind of reserve ranger force protecting and educating, paid for by a tourist tax for anyone staying in the area. Similarly for all the boats that moor up - it seems strange that they can moor for free. I saw too many anchor drag lines that had torn up the sea grass beds... the very thing that lures the turtles and feeds them! God, we humans are a nightmare!

Superb experience. Organization, security and equipment at the top. The guide Adelaide is ultra professional. His explanations on the fauna and flora are clear and entertaining. We saw magnificent fish, corals and turtles. If you make the Cousteau reserve, you should do it with Anbadlola
Very well organized in terms of equipment and security. the support is worthy of a 5 star both for the richness of the explanations (thank you Adélaïde) and the magic of the 3 hours.
We took the free diving class for two days with Antoine and Sebastian. Not only did we learn breath and depth techniques, but it was a beginning of new friendship.
Antoine is very knowledgeable, kind, loves what he does and does it for the passion.
Highly recommended.

Very beautiful snorkeling hike with Adelaide.
She is a passionate guide and eager to pass on her knowledge. She adapts to the group and pays attention to everyone's well-being during the activity.

A fantastic snorkeling trip out of the ordinary as the guide told us a lot about turtles, fish and coral.
We got to see turtles and then we got to swim like in a big aquarium with lots of different fish. Very nice guide who was very good in English and very familiar with the marine.
RECOMMENDED!

Superb experience with Adelaide who was able to interest us in the fauna and flora of the Cousteau reserve. Incredible fish and depths. And as a bonus we were able to observe a turtle. Very beautiful and enriching experience.
100% safe support with Cathy, a passionate, dynamic guide while taking care of all participants. A feast for the eyes and full of explanations in this snorkelling trip to the Pigeon Islands and Malendure Cove. We saw 2 green turtles grazing quietly, then coming up to breathe... We didn't see the time passing, and yet it was a whole morning... Well done Anbadlola
Superb snorkeling in the Cousteau reserve, we were amazed by the beauty of the seabed. Thank you to our guide Adelaide for her kindness and for sharing her passion for the ocean with us.

Fantastic experience with Antoine. We learned a lot from his vast experience, and all this in a friendly and friendly atmosphere. Thank you very much for communicating your passion for this fascinating world to us so well, we can't wait to come back! See you soon!
There were 6 of us snorkeling with different levels of comfort in the water. Adélaïde was able to adapt and secure all the participants. We loved our outing. Lots of learning! THANKS!!
We've never used their services, but they come several times a day next to our boat anchored at Plage Malendure. We can hear the young lady give the instructions of wildlife respectful diving practices. She dive with her clients every single time, give explanations at the surface about what they are seeing. It really looks like an amazing company!
Exceptional experience with an exceptional facilitator, he knows how to listen and is ready to help
Incredible experience, not being comfortable in the water, Sébastien was able to accompany us and help me overcome my fear to make the most of the outing.
Thank you very much

We did the snorkeling trip with Adélaïde this morning and it was pure joy. To do.
Unforgettable day, the reserve is magnificent. Thanks to Adélaïde, a passionate person who accompanied us throughout the snorkeling hike and introduced us to the aquatic fauna and flora 🥰
5 well-deserved stars for this snorkeling trip!
We were accompanied by Adélaïde, who took the time to explain things to us, who removed any apprehension, and who passed on her knowledge of the Cousteau reserve to us! The fish encountered there are definitely worth a look. And we were lucky enough to come across a ray and 5 turtles! We return with images in our heads.... thank you for these memories!

Superb snorkeling experience with Adelaide, a top guide! 🤩
The water hike 😜 took place in a magnificent setting and we also had the chance to swim with the turtles. 🐢
Informed and useful explanations to recognize fish during future independent snorkle sessions, but also to enjoy nature while respecting it as much as possible (do not bother the turtles, do not use cream so as not to pollute the ocean , watch out for corals…). 🌎
Thank you for everything it was amazing!! 😻

I had already done a snorkeling hike at the Cousteau reserve twice. This is the first time we left with the Anbadlola. We had a great time and rediscovered this magnificent reserve thanks to the explanations of Adelaide who knows how to convey her passion. Thank you so much.
A very nice experience with our guide of the day: Adelaide who shared with us her experience of the marine world. Thank you so much
A great outing with Adélaïde, who shares her passion for the seabed with us.
A magnificent experience in the company of Antoine.
He managed to share with us his passion for underwater life and teach us the right reflexes to preserve it.
He is also very attentive and allowed 3 people to experience this adventure that day, although they had a great fear of water.

Great time with Adelaide who was super patient with our team of 10 and who explained the seabed to us wonderfully!
We had a great snorkeling experience with Adelaide. Bonus point for pedagogy and beautiful energy
A magical snorkeling hike surrounded by turtles and fish! A big thank you to Adelaide for sharing her knowledge!
Great time spent this Boxing Day! It is no longer possible to not differentiate the green turtle from the hawksbill turtle and we leave with a good knowledge of the fish of the Cousteau reserve, thank you Adelaide!
A great experience!
A very complete first morning to learn the basics of apnea (breathing techniques, ear decompression techniques, relaxation to achieve a successful apnea, material advice, and above all safety) with a scenario at the level of the adjoining beach.
And the second morning to test freediving on a wreck 🤩
To summarize: everything is very well explained, Antoine is passionate and answers all your questions. I felt safe and confident from start to finish.
I will come back to Anbadlola during my next trip to Guadeloupe for sure!

I think it's been 5 times that we've gone out with Antoine or one of his employees and each time it's great. Real enthusiasts who amaze us. You can't go to Guadeloupe without doing this activity which will explain to you why you have such beautiful white sand on this volcanic island with black sand at the base🤭🤭
First experience in snorkling, we had a great day, we saw very beautiful things, a big thank you to Sébastien, he's a great instructor, it's clear that he loves his passion
Great experience!
Top excursion that I highly recommend.
We saw extraordinary things.
The captain is a passionate man who shares his knowledge with us with precision.
He is also very friendly and takes great care of everyone on board.
There were 3 of us who weren't comfortable in the water, he didn't let us go and remained very patient with us.
By far, the best excursion during our stay!

Lovely, passionate and competent people with whom you can only have a pleasant time! update 2024 antoine and his instructors are always as passionate and pleasant. We have been coming since 2011 and will continue as long as they are there ☺️ a must in Basse Terre 🫶
What can we say about this morning, an extraordinary hike with two instructors who love the fauna and flora of this beautiful island. We were accompanied throughout this hike with explanations and a lot of kindness. A big thank you to both of you and don’t hesitate, it’s definitely worth the detour
Great snorkeling outing rich in discovery and explanation. We were amazed. Their small boat buoys made it possible to introduce our 5 year old child who does not know how to swim to the seabed and turtles.
An INCREDIBLE aquatic excursion, thank you very much to Antoine and his team who guided us, explained and shared their experience and transmitted their passion. The outing was a real good time spent, whether humanly speaking or even raising awareness of all this life in the waters. If you are hesitating between a trip alone, in a canoe or with a guide like this team, then don't hesitate any longer and go with them, you really won't be disappointed!
Thanks again to the team for this afternoon.

What an incredible experience with the passionate Christophe who introduced us to the funds of the Cousteau reserve and its treasures. Snorkeling is a sporting activity and it is best to be very comfortable in the water in order to fully enjoy it! Very original and informative!
Great underwater trip with Sébastien.
The bottoms are very beautiful, fish, turtles and corals there.
Very interesting explanations, approach and teaching very respectful of nature. I recommend.

Great PMT hike. Sébastien our very attentive guide towards young and old alike. An approach that is very respectful of the marine environment and raises awareness of its fragility. We learned lots of things, including an effective method for finding and observing sea turtles without disturbing them. We are delighted and recommend ++!

Suitable for adults and children alike, we all had a great time!

I completed the freediving course, the basics, accompanied by my son who is starting spearfishing. This course proves to be essential for practicing freediving with ease, efficiency and safety. We discover sensations of unimaginable well-being, orchestrated by the very pedagogical and passionate Antoine who makes us experience this moment of sharing, making it optimal.
A great walk with Cathy!! We warmly recommend. The explanations are very complete. We were with our 5 year old son who also loved this outing. Thank you for this very nice moment Cathy 😉
Great morning of discovery with friendly guides who explain well. Special mention to intern Jérôme: thank you for managing our difficulty in managing the earthlings that we are really well. Reassuring, smiling and always professional. And we saw the turtles!
THANKS

Amazing experience! The whole team was superb. I'm not a good swimmer, but they were reassuring and safe.
Cathy, great guide for snorkeling! Excursion in small groups, and in complete safety even for (very) novices. Cathy is passionate, she takes the time to explain, describe and show us everything that surrounds us "down there in the water"... all with immense respect for this environment (and taking care not to disturb our friends the turtles 😍)!
Thank you Cathy, I would come back and highly recommend!

A magnificent hike with Sébastien who did everything to put us in ideal conditions. Excellent support with our 5 and 8 year old children. Plus we really learned a lot. You can go there with your eyes closed.
Sébastien and his team are wonderful, we were amazed and learned lots of things about how to discover the beauties of the Cousteau reserve by snorkeling while being respectful of the fauna and flora of the place. Pleasure and wonder guaranteed when discovering corals, multicolored fish and green turtles.
Thanks to Sébastien for this superb walk! This was the first time we put on fins/mask and snorkel, and we were not disappointed. The afternoon was great, we learned lots of things and discovered the fauna and flora of the Cousteau reserve with a very kind and passionate guide.
A very nice sea trip which allowed us to see turtles and various species of fish
First of all, thanks to Sebastien and the Breton for this superb excursion. Thanks to the supervision and superb explanations of these two enthusiasts, you can be sure to learn more about the marine world.
Awesome!!!! Magnificent, interesting, very nice, an outing as we like, respecting nature, with fun and very nice people 😊 💛
Superb trip with Seb And Nico. Went there with three families and they were very good with the kids and knowledgeable about the area. Unfortunately no tortoises, but we saw lots of fishes, including numerous parrot fish, pufferfish and sea snake.
Thanks to Cathy who gave me the means to surpass myself. Superb experience to repeat.
We went on a snorkeling trip with Sébastien, we loved this moment, exceptional!
Sébastien is an excellent guide who helped us appreciate the Guadeloupean fauna and flora while teaching us respect for the places and species that we discovered. We were a group of friends and we promised to come back to also do a freediving course. We highly recommend this experience!

Sebastian was our guide for the tour. He was so knowledgeable and even spoke good English for us. It was just my family of 3 and we were given his undivided attention. I do not swim, but Sebastian was great with me. He had a floatie for me to use and he guided me around the water. Overall, a great time and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Very pleasant moment of discovery of the Malendure reserve: the team is caring and knowledgeable about the tropical marine environment and its protection.
A great outing not to be missed during a trip to Guadeloupe.

Great snorkeling hike with Cathie in a small group, descriptions of the fish and turtles, great friendly atmosphere 😉
Great welcome from Sébastien who passionately introduced us to fish and turtles.

Thank you for this beautiful moment!
Thank you for this beautiful moment!
Very nice experience. Group a little too large to fully appreciate all the explanations given by a single guide, but we were there on May 1st. Sébastien did his best. Magnificent flora and fauna. Raising awareness of biodiversity and the preservation of the seabed. Very good material. We’re holding back the Mixa baby!!! Very nice performance. THANKS. Nathalie and Denis
This was the most perfect experience. Our guides (Cathy and Nicolas) were amazing. They managed to make even the unsecure and frightened people feel at home in the water. Their knowledge was absolutely on point, Cathy seemed to know every single fish by its first name.
In the water you can see more than you can imagine. This excursion is an absolute must for everybody coming to Guadeloupe.

We - a family of four with two small children - had a truly amazing experience with Kathy and Nicolas yesterday. We made a lot of snorkeling before but this was something totally different and not a typical snorkeling where you make a stop, told to look around, and come back in 30 min. Kathy and Nicolas take their job serious and with a good humor. What was special is that Kathy and Nicolas were swimming with us all the time and showing us the beauty of the underwater world, explaining in detail what we see and giving information about different species while being in the water. Kathy emphasized the importance of snorkeling in an ecologically friendly way to protect the sealife. She also checked our equipment before the trip and showed us how to use the gear and take care of it. This has been the best experience so far and for sure not the last one.
Very, very nice experience! Beautiful trip, very interesting and good explanations, friendly attitude. 5/5 for sure.
Exceptional snorkelling experience. Benoit is a great guide, it was really a private tour we were not left on our own. He describes all the fishes we saw.
Great trip with Benoit. All equipment is provided and he gave clear demonstrations - good because we don't speak French.
You can leave your valuables in the locked building. Mask, tube, wetsuit and flippers all sized and tried before you leave.
Only 7 people on our trip. They have a maximum of 10. Benoit towed two small inflatables in the water, so anyone who needed a rest, or who wasn't great at snorkelling, could have rest at any time.
Gave full descriptions of the water, the currents, rock and coral formations, and a waterproof card in colour showing images of the fish we could encounter.
Pigeon Islands were great with big variety of fish and bed formations. Then we went Malendure where we saw one turtle.
Well worth the money and a great experience.
