About this experience

During this trip of 3:30 the captain sets course to the south, towards the coves of Arlets to discover its coves and its sea turtles, you can observe without touching them the green turtle recognizable by its shell covered with juxtaposed scales and its round head without marked bill which feeds mainly on marine phanerogams (grass beds), or the hawks turtle, its shell is covered with imbricated scales, the edges are serrated especially at the back, its bill is pronounced. You will then make a stop at the diamond ratchet then in a natural swimming pool in the town of Arlet handles for a last swim then a very good relaxing time with a Creole snack (fresh juice, planter, fresh fruit and its famous ti punch).
