Fleurdo (Eco-tourism)

This original eco-tour combines a trip in a transparent canoe with educational activities along a route chosen for its beauty on the Atlantic coast off the Vauclin, combining a coral reef, a sandbank, a mangrove lagoon and seagrass beds.

Away from the crowd, this more intimate stroll is turned towards ecology. It is quietly installed in a "molokini", a kind of transparent polymer pirogue born in Hawaii, light and resistant that Marc takes you for an unforgettable trip. As you slide across the water, you can observe the coastline, coral reefs, exotic fish while taking pictures, without leaving the boat.

On the agenda for the day:
- From the small beach of Pointe Chaudière, head for the white bottoms of Petite Grenade, one of the closest to the Atlantic coast and one of the most preserved. Planteur punch break accras with water up to your knees and friendly animations (quizzes, riddles...)

- Then we paddle to the famous "Trou Cochon" to discover the majestic and silent mangrove ecosystem. Here Marc, an engineer specialized in bio-environmental engineering, gives you a real lesson on the fascinating history of underwater and coastal ecosystems. Fauna, flora, coastal geology and sculpture, cloud formation and life, wave and ocean movement, ecology: the Fleur d'Ô team is very involved in preserving the environment.
It is also here that you will be served a delicious Creole meal on the go: accras (shrimp and cod), chicken sleeve with honey and ginger, chicken brochette with aromatic herbs, marinated maki mahi fritter, plantain banana fritter, fruit juice, punch... all "home-made". The atmosphere is very friendly thanks to a really nice and humorous team.
