Marie-Galante : How do I travel?
How to go alone
No problem to go alone to Marie-Galante. Take a flight to Pointe-à-Pitre, then a ferry that connects to Grand-Bourg in barely an hour. On the spot you can rent a car and start your discovery of the island. Book your first night in advance, then as your tour progresses. You can also stay in the same hotel or, better yet, rent a cottage, or even a house with a pool if your budget allows it, and explore from your point of arrival.
How to go on a tour
Get in touch with a Caribbean specialist who will inevitably have in his catalog proposals for a stay in Guadeloupe with an excursion to Marie-Galante. Ask him to organize a tour and a stay dedicated to Marie-Galante via Pointe-à-Pitre. He will be in touch with tourism professionals on site who will welcome you to simplify your stay and accompany you to your hotel. The seaside pleasures and the tourist visits will be on your program.
How to get around
The different localities are connected by public transport several times a day (except Wednesday, Saturday afternoon and Sunday). There are also private minibus companies. Car rental companies (cars, scooters, bicycles, electric bikes) are available at the port of Saint-Louis and at the Grand-Bourg ferry terminal. In the villages of Marie-Galante and in the heart of its lush nature, walking and biking are very popular with tourists.
