Overview
From Gustavia harbour the catamaran passes Pain de Sucre and the Gros Îlets on the way northwest to Colombier bay, which can be reached only by boat or on foot. The bay is in the nature reserve; snorkellers swim with green turtles feeding in the seagrass and swim off the beach. A second snorkel stop around Pain de Sucre may be made on the way back. Mornings are the calmest time in the bay.
