Basse-Terre Island

Basse-Terre Island is the name of the western-half of Guadeloupe proper, in the Lesser Antilles. Despite its name, Basse-Terre Island (literally "Low Land" Island, "Down Land" Island) is the highest island of Guadeloupe, rising to 1,467 metres (4,813 feet) above sea level at the Soufrière volcano.

Above the city of Basse-Terre on a mountain road, is the village of Saint-Claude, at the base of the Soufrière volcano. The village is noted for its coffee and banana plantations & stately homes. Tours to ascend the Soufrière can be arranged.

A few beaches are located along the coast, north and south of the city of Basse-Terre. There are also fishing areas.

“Karrie was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout every facet of planning this trip!! Even while enjoying her own vacation, she took the time to help out with flight check in glitches. She made everything so easy and seamless!! The resort we stayed at was exactly what we were looking for and all the necessities and luxuries we could want for the week!! Overall, booking with Karrie was well worth it and we will absolutely do it again!”
