Step behind the scenes of the beloved BBC series at its real Caribbean filming locations, then wander the lush Deshaies Botanical Garden. A cult bucket-list moment for fans and culture lovers alike — vibrant, immersive, and utterly unique to Guadeloupe.
What to expect
Your local guide whisks you northwest to Deshaies village, the on-screen 'Saint Marie,' pointing out Catherine's Bar, the police station, and waterfront scenes as you walk the actual sets. You then glide into the Botanical Garden, a 2.5-hectare Eden of hibiscus, exotic birds, and giant Victoria water lilies. The return journey hugs the scenic coast road, giving you sweeping Caribbean views before heading back to Pointe-à-Pitre. The whole experience runs 6–7 hours, timed precisely around your all-aboard.
Good to know
Tour duration is ~6.5 hours — confirm your ship's all-aboard time and book directly with Karukera to ensure the schedule fits. Groups are kept small, so advance booking is essential. Wear light clothing and comfortable walking shoes; the botanical garden paths are shaded but uneven in places.
