Guadeloupe has a warm, tropical climate with consistent temperatures and Northeast trade winds year-round. Average temperatures for coastal areas range are in the low-20’s. Temperatures for inland regions are in the mid 20’s.

Humidity can become quite high in Guadeloupe. The territory has a wet season from June through November and a dry season from December to May. Rain and storms can happen at any time but they generally pass quickly.

Hurricane season is from June to November. Though it is uncommon for hurricanes to reach the islands – it happens roughly once or twice every decade.

While Guadeloupe is a relatively safe travel destination, there are some thing to be aware of.

Don’t leave valuables unattended and watch yourself against petty street crime. Take extra precautions at beaches and other public areas.

Carefully consider your safety before enjoying a water-sport or similar activity. Make sure you only used licensed rental or tour groups or bring your own gear for some activities.

Stay aware of your surroundings at all times. Avoid travelling alone, especially at night.

Marie Galante is a small island about 25 kilometers away from the Guadeloupe. It was named after the flagship Marigalante by Columbus in 1493 on his second voyage to the Antilles.

It is an excellent spot for travellers who want a little of everything.

The island has beautiful, relaxing white-sand beaches with picnic sites and coral reefs. You can feel free to enjoy snorkeling and swimming.

For culture and architecture, the island offers sites like the Notre Dame de Marie Galante church. Built in 1827, the building has a sky-blue ceiling and a detailed marble alter. Other notable stops include the Château Murat and the Habitation Roussel. Ruins of sugar factories and windmills can also be seen all over.

Marie Galante enjoys a celebrated history of one of Guadeloupe’s main exports: rum. The island has three currently working distilleries famous for the drink. If you wish to try it, it packs quite a strong punch at about 59% proof.

Think ahead on what to pack by perusing these suggestions:

  • Clothing – Guadeloupe can often be hot and humid due to its tropical climate. Be sure to pack for the time of year and the activities you wish to do. Consider items such as sunscreen, water-protective gear, and bathing suits.
  • Bug Repellent – Dengue, Zika and other mosquito-borne diseases are present on Guadeloupe. Make sure to bring protection.
  • Copies of Travel Documents – Be sure to bring copies of your documents in case of loss or theft.

Guadeloupe does not have an embassy on the island. For help and information, contact the Canadian Embassy in Paris:
