Unforgettable day with Simon Ilet Caret Ilet la Biche
T3812ERericp, July 2026
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A simply unforgettable day!
A huge thank you to Tikata Caraïbes, and especially to Simon, who gave us an exceptional excursion. From Ilet Caret to Ilet à Biche, passing by the magnificent corals and the shipwreck that we were able to discover while snorkeling, every moment was a true delight.
What makes all the difference is Simon's professionalism and kindness. Despite fickle weather, he knew how to adapt the program throughout the day according to the conditions and the group's wishes. Nothing was set in stone: everything was designed so that we would have the best day possible. His explanations were very useful throughout the day, as was his advice, particularly regarding environmental management on Caret Island.
The lunch will remain etched in our memories: a table set up in the middle of the water at Biche Island, in a heavenly setting, followed by a delicious meal on board the boat. An impeccable organization, a friendly atmosphere, and numerous thoughtful touches that made this day truly magical.
Bravo and a thousand thanks again to Simon for his passion, his good humor, and his hospitality. If you are looking for an authentic, friendly, and perfectly organized excursion in Guadeloupe, look no further: go with Tikata Caraïbes! We are leaving with our heads full of memories and only one desire... to come back!
See you soon, Simon!
Eric, your late afternoon DJ

Incredible day!! The captain (Ted) was very kind, happy to be with us, and a true gentleman. We lacked nothing. Plenty of food and drinks throughout the day. The captain adjusted his itinerary according to our vibe at the moment. It was one of the most beautiful days of our trip. I really recommend it!!

Very beautiful cruise, but our captain was drinking a bit too much Planteurs during the cruise. But the sea is magnificent!💕
