1 of the things to do in Guadeloupe. Very beautiful botanic garden. Make a reservation in advance in the restaurant La Badiane (good quality and nice price plus beautiful setting) so you can have lunch after your visit.

The botanic garden was definitely a highlight for us on Guadeloupe. We really enjoyed the walking path which took us ~1 hour to complete and the variety of exotic plants and flowers some of which we had never seen before. Bonus: The restaurant was great, too.

Lovely place and beautiful gardens, train ride is fun and has info in English, as do all the signs about the plants and animals. Good activity to pass a morning or afternoon.

Excellent Botanical Gardens. A leisurely stroll round took just over an hour. Didn’t get the road train or use the restaurant!

Probably one of the best Botanic Gardens we've ever been to. Unbelievable!!!

Pictures dont do honor to this beautiful and super relaxing place. It needs to be seen with your own eyes. Photos will be just a plus to your visit.

Excellent, must see
