The easternmost point of the island of Grande Terre is known as La Pointe des Châteaux, a scenic isthmus of rugged rocky beauty. A hike from the village through the rock formations ends up at a vantage point from which the neighboring islands of La Désirade, Petite-Terre, and Marie-Galante can be admired on a clear day.

Located just south of Basse-Terre Island, Terre-de-Bas is one of the smaller islands that make up Guadeloupe, and by far, one of the most beautiful. It boasts picturesque fishing villages and beaches, as well as some lovely hiking trails, including one to the towering Grande Montagne.

The Little Train is a company with three small trains called Lillie, Major Pierson and Terence. The trains make for a relaxing alternative to sightseeing on foot, and take you on a fun ride along the promenade tour from Liberation Square all the way from St Helier to St Aubin and back.

Bocas is one of the very few Caribbean surf spots with good sized waves. There may be better and bigger waves in the Pacific, but here, when you surf, you do it in turquoise waters, while you ride above colorful coral reefs or white sand. There are beach breaks, point breaks and reef breaks, lefts, and rights for all tastes and preferences. You can find breaks three minutes away from Isla Colon. The preferred surf spots are Wizard, Bluff, Punch, The Point at Carenero and Tiger Tail. It is important to visit these spots with somebody who knows the area, especially if you will be surfing over a reef break.
