Botanical Garden – Deshaies

The special feature of the Guadeloupe Botanical Garden is that it houses exclusively plants native to the Antilles.

For an additional €2, you can purchase animal feed upon entry (€17,50 per person). You will receive three pots of food and an instruction session on which food is best for which animals.
